چکیده
This study was carried out to assess the tree species diversity, family composition and diameter size distribution of in Igbo-Olua sacred groove, Ondo state, Nigeria using appropriate standard techniques. A total 34 distributed 23 families were recorded. Sterculiaceae (66) had highest number individual stem per ha while Moraceae terms hectare (7). The structure is typical natural forest type with high smaller classes or interval (12.5) decreases increasing class interval. Diversity measures obtained included Shannon-Weiner index (3.09), Evenness (0.64) Margalef (6.36). Awakening consciousness people towards protection groves has practical implications on their survival. Hence government other allied institutions should gear efforts grove conservation.

Perception of Shea Nut Tree as an Economic Tree among Farmers in Oyo State, Nigeria
The importance of shea tree to the people of south-western Nigeria cannot be over emphasized considering both the economic and environmental uses of the tree. However, efforts have not been made to propagate its production by the farmers as the shea tree still grows in the wild state. It would be worthwhile to investigate farmers’ perception of shea nut tree as an economic tree and their attitu...
متن کاملRegion effects influence local tree species diversity.
Global patterns of biodiversity reflect both regional and local processes, but the relative importance of local ecological limits to species coexistence, as influenced by the physical environment, in contrast to regional processes including species production, dispersal, and extinction, is poorly understood. Failure to distinguish regional influences from local effects has been due, in part, to...

متن کاملPredicting tree species composition at pixel-scale
Detailed data on tree species drive models that predict risk of insect and disease mortality in forest stands and simulation models for future stand conditions. Application of such models in geospatial analyses requires these data for millions of remotely sensed pixels. However, the vast majority of remotely sensed thematic maps predict a few categories of stand conditions, such as forest type ...

This study was conducted to assess the efficacy of SCoT and DAMD molecular markers in genetic diversity of three moss species and compare them with ISSR marker. Another objective was to evaluate the suitability of these DNA markers in species identification (delimitation) in three moss species, including Neckera complanata, Homalothecium sericeum and Neckera cris...
