Andy Cope

This study aimed at assessing the role of enrichment planting on population structure, diversity and canopy cover in open gaps in an indigenous tropical forest. Five selected indigenous tree species namely Croton megalocarpus, Fagara microphylla, Markhamia lutea, Newtonia buchananii and Vitex keniensis were investigated. Systematic random sampling was conducted on two sites namely, the enriched and control sites where five study plots of 100m by 20m each were established.
