EFFECTS OF ELEVATIONS ON WOODY SPECIES DIVERSITY AND CARBON STOCKS OF KELLA NATURAL FORESTS IN KONSO ZONE, SOUTHERN ETHIOPIA
Abstract
Tropical forests can make a significant contribution to both mitigation and adaptation strategies of climate change. An effective climate change response requires consideration of the role and potential impacts on, biodiversity and ecosystem services. Several studies indicate that there is a decline in species richness along with altitude and it has an influence on biomass and soil organic carbon. Thus, this study was conducted to evaluate the impact of Elevation on Woody species diversity and carbon stock potential in Kalla forest, Konso zone, Sothern Ethiopia.
