Influence of Elevation and Anthropogenic Disturbance on Woody Species Composition, Diversity, and Stand Structure in Harego Mountain Forest, Northeastern Ethiopia

Table 7

Anthropogenic disturbance along the three elevational gradients in the Harego Mountain Forest.

Anthropogenic activity	Lower (24)	Middle (33)	Upper (10)	Overall (67)	X^2
LGP	High^c	Slight^a	Moderate^b	Moderate	9.181	0.002
LISC	High^c	Slight^a	Moderate^b	Moderate	7.570	0.004
LFP	Moderate^b	Slight^a	Slight^a	Slight	4.415	0.035
LGD	Moderate^b	Slighta	Moderate^b	Moderate	5.952	0.015

LGP = level of grazing pressure, LISC = level of illegal stem cut, FP = level of the footpath, and LGD = level of general anthropogenic disturbance.
