Table 13

Comparisons of the Shannon diversity index and evenness of MFBR with other moist Afromontane forests in southwestern Ethiopia.

Forest area	Elevation (m)	H′	J	Sources
Gesha-Sayilem forest	1734–2803	3.56	0.84	[86]
MFBR	800–2400	3.64	0.94	Present study
Gerba Dima forest	1677–2240	3.45	0.93	[87]
Wurg forest	900–2500	3.38	0.90	[88]
Agama forest	1800–2370	3.25	0.78	[89]
Belete forest	1800–2300	3.79	0.95	[90]

Note. H′ = Shannon diversity index, J = evenness, and MFBR = Majang Forest Biosphere Reserve.
