Impact of Human Activity on Protected Areas: a Case Study of Nech Sar National Park in Ethiopia Impact of Human Activity on Protected Areas: A case study of Nech Sar National Park in Ethiopia School of Engineering and Sustainable Development De Montfort University Leicester, United Kingdom Molla Mekonnen Alemu Thesis submitted to De Montfort University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy July 2020 Acknowledgments First and foremost, my deepest thanks go to the Almighty God, for He is the one who brought me to this level of life. The consistent commitment of my father, Mekonnen Alemu, in empowering and nurturing my life will remain with me forever. Thank you so much “Abiye” for being my hero and the best father! Had it not been your commitment, I would not reach this stage. Your commitment and unconditional love have been the foundation of my courage and determination in achieving the various goals in my life. My deepest gratitude goes to my supervisors Professor Subhes Bhattacharyya and Dr. Andrew Reeves for their unlimited support from shaping the idea of the research up to the materialization of the study. I would like to thank them for their unfailing support and scientific guidance throughout the study. I have learned a lot from their rich academic knowledge and experiences. My sincere gratefulness also goes to Professor Mark Lemon for his continued, valuable insights and encouragement. The meticulous scientific advice I have received from him was very instrumental for the success of my study in the University. I am also indebted to thank my good friend Andrew Simmons and his wife Anoria for the encouragement, discussions and comments I have received at various stages of this work. I would also like to thank Ethiopian Wildlife Conservation Authority for their help I got in conducting the research in Nech Sar National Park of Ethiopia. My sincere and heartfelt thanks go to the Nech Sar National Park staff in general for their help towards the success of this research. More specifically I would like to single out Abraham Marye (Park Warden), Bililign Zafu, Gemechu Leta, Shimelis Zenebe, Ato Admasu, Ato Asnake and Shaleqa for their technical support and help in understanding the status of the park. David, your encouragements are highly appreciated. The support of my sister Tena and Tewabu in facilitating my field work is also highly appreciated. Demeke’s, a GIS specialist at EIAR, help in the preparation of the different maps and interpretation of the satellite images is also greatly acknowledged. ii Table of Contents Acknowledgments ............................................................................................................. ii Table of Contents ............................................................................................................. iii List of Figures .................................................................................................................... ix List of Tables .................................................................................................................... xii List of Appendices ........................................................................................................... xiv Acronyms .......................................................................................................................... xv Definition of Terms ....................................................................................................... xvii Abstract ........................................................................................................................... xix Chapter 1 - General Background and Research Context .............................................. 1 1.1.

  • Abstract Background: the Dryland Area in Ethiopia Contributes Large Vegetation Resources
    Page 1 of 46 Ecological and Floristic Study of Hirmi Forest, Tigray Region, Northern Ethiopia Mehari Girmay12*, Tamrat Bekele2, Sebsebe Demissew2, Ermias Lulekal2 *correspondence author: [email protected];[email protected] 1Environment and climate change directorate, Ministry of mining and petroleum of Ethiopia, P.O.Box: 486, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. 2Department of Plant Biology and Biodiversity Management, Addis Ababa University, P.O. Box 3434, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Full list of author information is available at the end of the article. Abstract Background: The Dryland area in Ethiopia contributes large vegetation resources. However, the landmass has received less attention even if it has high ecological, environmental and economic importance. The present study was conducted in Hirmi forest, which is one of the dry forest in Northwestern, Ethiopia; to study the floristic composition, plant community types, community-environment relation, vegetation structure and regeneration status of the forest. Method: Vegetation and environmental data were collected from 80 sampling plots having equal size of 25m×25m were designated as the main plots. Within the main plot, five 2mx2m subplots were laid to record seedlings, saplings, and herbaceous species. Furthermore, within each subplot, soil samples were collected to analyze the relationship of edaphic parameters with the plant community. DBH, height, BA, density, vertical structure and frequency were computed. Floristic diversity and evenness were computed using Shannon diversity and Evenness indices. The plant community types and vegetation-environment relationships were analyzed using classification and ordination tools in R package (ver. 3.6.1), respectively. Result: A total of 171 vascular plant species belonging to 135 genera and 56 families were recorded.

One of the major achievements of the Flora is having a complete account of all the Mono­ cotyledons. These are found in Volumes 6 (1997 – all monocots except the grasses) and 7 (1995 – the grasses) of the Flora. One of the main aims of publishing the Flora of Ethiopia and Eritrea was to stimulate further research in the region. This challenge was taken by the authors (with important input also from Odd E. Stabbetorp) in 2003 when the first edition of ‘Flowers of Ethiopia and Eritrea: Aloes and other Lilies’ was published (a book now out of print). The project was supported through the NUFU (Norwegian Council for Higher Education’s Programme for Development Research and Education) funded Project of the University of Oslo, Department of Biology, and Addis Ababa University, National Herbarium in the Biology Department. What you have at hand is a second updated version of ‘Flowers of Ethiopia and Eritrea: Aloes and other Lilies’.
