Axonopus compressus had the highest occurrence in 3 of the study areas, except for the silted area. (1999) Terrestrial plant Ecology Addison Wesley Longman, New York. The results indicated that there were significant differences at P ≥ 0.05 as (p-value = 0.183377) in plant species among the study sites. The result obtained indicates high uncertainties as each species are relatively distributed within SWA, SSW, SA and NSW areas. Shannon-Wiener’s diversity indexes in the various sites were approximately 1.985, 1.788, 2.140 and 3.125 at SWA, SSW, SA and NSW respectively. Shannon-Wiener’s diversity index was used to analyse species diversity in the various sampling locations.

The book takes an integrated approach to plant ecology and is divided into four parts which include. Determining the response of wildlife to fine scale forest management in California state parks in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Patterns of vegetation development within these communities are influenced by climate, topography, management history, and debris flow activity (Barbour and Major, 1977). The aim of this book is to effectively synthesize the literature pertaining to the ecology of wild plants into a comprehensive survey for the undergraduate student, aiming to teach the essentials of the interactions between plants and their environment ranging from communities to landscapes. The results of the population of plant species in the various sites revealed that, 10 plant species occurred at the solid waste area (SWA), 7 species at silt waste area (SSW), 12 plant species at silted area (SA) and 31 plant species at no-silt no-waste area (NSW). A complex mosaic of coastal prairie, scrub, and forest communities are found along the immediate coast, often with each plant community intergrading into the other. A quadrat of 1 m × 1 m was laid at random to determine the population of plant species in each plot. Three plots of 20 m × 20 m were randomly established at the solid waste, silt solid waste, silted and no-silt no-waste areas. Accurate data on community compostion is desirable for the planning and evaluation of these projects.
