Ethiopia possesses an estimated number of 6000 species of higher plants of which 10 are endemic. Major Natural Vegetation Types of Ethiopia Taking altitude into consideration it is possible to broadly classify the vegetation belts of Ethiopia into the following five groups. 1. Afroalpine and subafro alpine Region 2. Forest Region 3.
Ethiopia is country typified by physiographic climatic and edaphic diversity the result of which is shown by a variety of vegetation ranging from Alpine (Hypericum Lobelia Helichrysum)to semidesert plant communities. The massive plateaux of the Ethiopian highlands which were once covered with closed natural
It is revealed that bamboo monodominant communities have inhabited areas at altitudes of m above sea level for at least the past 6500 years. A trend towards a decrease in bamboo communities due to climate aridization in the last 5000 years has been revealed.

AcaciaCommiphora woodland vegetation occurs in the north east central and south parts of Ethiopia between 900 and 1900 m including the rift valley and consists of droughtresistant trees and shrubs of evergreen or deciduous leaves mainly in the sandy dominated soil type (Friis et al. 2010). AcaciaCommiphora woodland is a complex vegetation type and the most diverse forest type.
Minor variation in relief influences vegetation mainly through changes in water availability or susceptibility to flooding (Wikum and Wali 1974 Gauch and Stone 1979). Major category of vegetation types of Ethiopia Using vegetation as the main distinguishing factor there are 9 broadly recognized terrestrial ecosystems in
The diverse climate of various ecological regions of the country has driven the establishment of diverse vegetation which range from Afroalpine vegetation in the mountains to the arid and semiarid vegetation type in the lowlands.
Here in Ethiopia we have a rich and varied vegetation. We have ecosystems which vary from desert to tropical rainforests and the vegetation across the country changes dramatically with the conditions. We have some of the lowestlying areas of Africa and some of the highest peaks.
Asteraceae is the most dominant family followed by Fabaceae and Lamiaceae. It was noted that 17 of the plants encountered in the study area are endemic to Ethiopia.
Engler published the first map of the vegetation of Africa in 1882 defining the separation of African vegetation into firstly the forest regions and secondly grasslands and wooded grasslands a basic distinction that not surprisingly has remained intact.
8 Classified Groups of Vegetation in Ethiopia Desert and Semidesert scrublands Represented by drought resistant woody plants Acacia Commiphora Boscia Cadaba Maerua Ziyphus. Nonwooded plants Euphorbia Aloe. Grasses Dactyloctenium Aegyptium Panicum Turgidum. Smallleaved deciduous woodland of AcaciaCommiphora
In a series of publications Hedberg (1962 1964 1975 1986 and 1992) made important analyses on the vegetation and ecology of afroalpine regions in Ethiopia. Weinert (1981) Weinert and Mazurek (1984) Uhlig (1988) and Uhlig (1991) also made ecological investigations on the vegetation of the Bale Mountains.
overall ndvi increased from 1985 to 2015 indicating promising vegetative growth or recovery but nevertheless vegetation comprised less than 5 of the scene in the classified image of present day land cover and native forest and eucalyptus stands each made up < 1 of the overall scene but the abundance of eucalyptus is relatively high compared .
Thus Ethiopia s indigenous plants evolution provided its vegetation from ancient aeons with Ethiopia s plants immense robust vastly reinforcing and deep root system. Therefore this native Ethiopian vegetation directed the seasonal deluges into the mountain massif s aquifers and served as gigantic underground buffering reservoirs.
Ethiopia is also considered one of the earliest sites of the emergence of anatomically modern humans Homo sapiens. The oldest of these local fossil finds the Omo remains were excavated in the southwestern Omo Kibish area and have been dated to the Middle Paleolithic around 200 000 years ago. 50
In the Flora of Ethiopia and Eritrea Vol. 5 published in 2006 only two indigenous species were accounted for the widespread and common P. zeylanica and a new species P. truncata restricted
Limited archaeological findings have shown that grain harvesting from natural stands in Ethiopia dates from 15 000 years before present (Clark and Williams 1978) which could have been antedated by the earliest use of indigenous vegetables ( Ensete ventricosum Brassica carinata Plectranthus edulis) as food.
It is of great significance to the economy and politics of Ethiopia. In the past the natural vegetation of the Lake Tana basin was heavily damaged to facilitate the continued expansion of cropland. Vegetation must be conserved and restored to protect the natural environment and maintain the biodiversity of the Lake Tana basin.
The status of forests in Ethiopia. Forests are one of the vegetation biome dominantly covered by trees of different species that inhabit several biotic lives (Pistorius et al. 2017 Mekonnen et al. 2018). Land spanning more than ha with trees higher than 5 m and a canopy cover of more than 10 can be called a forest (FAO 2010).
The formation of Ethiopian vegetation is highly connected to the climate and geological history of the country. Highland uplift and rift formation due to volcanic forces formed novel habitats with different topography and climatic conditions that have ultimately become drivers for vegetation diversification.
Major Natural Vegetation Types of Ethiopia Taking altitude into consideration it is possible to broadly classify the vegetation belts of Ethiopia into the following five groups. 1. Afroalpine and subafro alpine Region 2. Forest Region 3. Woodland Savannah Region 4. Steppe Region 5. Semidesert Region
A combination of open canopy woodland shrub thicket and grassland (with scattered tree emergents) prevailed on the more recently exposed levees in and near the modern delta closed canopy woodland and forest predominated on fore levees in the meandering segment. Floristic diversity was relatively low at all study sites.
By 100 AD a kingdom called Axum arose in Ethiopia influenced by Southern Arabia. Axum traded with Rome Arabia and India. Axum became Christian in the 4th century AD. In 642 the Arabs conquered Egypt. In 698700 they took Tunis and Carthage and soon they controlled all of the coasts of North Africa.
Ethiopia is one of the eight fundamental and independent centres of origin for cultivated plants in the world. However deforestation is a major concern for Ethiopia as studies suggest loss of forest contributes to soil erosion loss of nutrients in the soil loss of animal habitats and reduction in biodiversity.
In Ethiopia deforestation is an ongoing issue that is causing extinction changes to climatic conditions desertification and displacement of indigenous people. Trees and other plants remove carbon in the form of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during the process of photosynthesis and release oxygen back into the atmosphere during
Deforestation is severe and has a long history in Ethiopia especially in the central and northern highlands where subsistence farming and settlements have been changing landscapes for millennia. According to historical estimates by the early 20th century a third of Ethiopia was covered in forests but by the 2000 s this estimate has shrunk to about 4 percent .

Vegetation historyThe earliest vegetation recorded at Garba Guracha (zone GG1 16 70013 400 cal BP) was herbaceous with abundant Poaceae Amaranthaceae/Chenopodiaceae Cyperaceae and Artemisia (zone GG1).
The evolution of education in Ethiopia can be logically divided into five periods. The first is the PreEuropean traditional educational system which was followed by the initial period of Secular education from during which Ethiopian monarchs attempted to modernize education.
Ethiopia is rich in forest ecosystems Systematic sampling was used to collect vegetation data from 66 sample plots of size 20 x 20 m (400m 2). History of botany and exploration.

3. FOREST RESOURCES OF ETHIOPIA vegetation of 3540 of Ethiopia before human settlement took place. With the inclusion of savanna woodlands some 66 of the country was originally covered with forest or woodlands (Britenbach 1961 Wood 1990 Kuru 1990 Yirdaw 1996). Over the last 3000 years there has
The story of in Ethiopia s agricultural history is emblematic of the struggle between pressures for change and the inertia of tradition felt by farmers. Their agrarian adaptation to new methods new materials and a new climate will play itself out in existing geographies and natural contours. Keywords oxplow annual crops
