The species composition changed form forested site to totally deforested site. The moderate level of disturbance increased the species richness (25 to 31 species) but severe disturbance caused a drastic reduction (12 species). Species diversity decreased with increasing level of disturbance (3.82 in forested site to 1. 51 in deforested site). Erect forbs were the dominant growth forms in forested site and grasses and sedges showed dominance in partly deforested and totally deforested sites.</p> </div> </div><span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span lang="" about="/user/3" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">sbritwum</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden">Tue, 07/20/2010 - 06:09</span> <div class="field field--name-field-resp field--type-string-long field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Responsible party</div> <div class="field__item">Forestry Research Institute of Ghana (FORIG)</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-upload field--type-file field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><table data-striping="1"> <thead> <tr> <th>Attachment</th> <th>Size</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr class="odd"> <td> <span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf"> <a href="https://www.fornis.net/sites/default/files/documents/deforestation_species.pdf" type="application/pdf; length=2924655">deforestation_species.pdf</a></span> </td> <td>2.79 MB</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </div> <a href="/taxonomy/term/5" hreflang="en">Forests and Climate Change</a> / <a href="/taxonomy/term/9" hreflang="en">Other Information</a> <a href="/taxonomy/term/161" hreflang="en">deforestation</a> / <a href="/taxonomy/term/234" hreflang="en">growth forms</a> / <a href="/taxonomy/term/235" hreflang="en">forbs</a> / <a href="/taxonomy/term/236" hreflang="en">grasses</a> / <a href="/taxonomy/term/237" hreflang="en">species richness</a> Tue, 20 Jul 2010 11:09:18 +0000 sbritwum 212 at https://www.fornis.net
