Woody Species Diversity in Enclosures

"Woody Species Diversity in Enclosures" is a specialized book that focuses on the practice of creating protected areas for the restoration of degraded landscapes in the dry regions of Ethiopia, particularly in Tigray. This method, recognized as a cultural practice, allows for a cost-effective and rapid regeneration of vegetation compared to conventional planting methods. The authors, Emiru Birhane, Demel Teketay, and Pia Barklund, highlight the positive impacts of enclosures on local biodiversity, both in plants and animals. In the protected areas, a remarkable recovery of flora and fauna is observed, making this practice an effective tool for the restoration of degraded drylands. The book provides valuable insights into the economic benefits that can be gained from the collection of grass and wood, and emphasizes the importance of enclosures for the local community, which appreciates their ability to quickly restore biodiversity. It is an important resource for professionals and interested parties involved in ecological restoration projects.
