Mgambo Forest Reserve 4.0 VEGETATION Authors: Oliver, S.A., Ntemi, A.S., Bracebridge, C.E. pp. 11-42 4.1 Introduction A species inventory was compiled of the trees and shrubs found within the Mgambo Forest Reserve (FR). Simple, quantitative and repeatable methods were employed and the results are comparable with other forest surveys undertaken by FT FRP. Human disturbance within the forest was also documented. Botanical and disturbance data collected by this survey have been entered onto the EUCAMP database. Figure 4 Typical Miombo woodland (Brachystegia sp.) in Mgambo FR 4.2 Methods The forest reserve was divided into a grid of numbered squares marked in the field by tagged transect lines. All methods are based on this grid system and are detailed in the FT FRP methodologies report (SEE, 1998). A brief description is presented below. The location of vegetation plots and disturbance transects were recorded using Global Positioning System (GPS) (see Appendix 2) and their locations on the Mgambo FR outline are illustrated in Figure 5. 4.2.1 Forest composition Three methods were used to analyse forest composition: (1) quantitative vegetation analysis; (2) opportunistic observations and (3) disturbance transects. 4.2.1.1 Quantitative vegetation analysis The botanical survey was based on a 900m x 450m grid marked in the field using tagged transect lines. One plot 50m x 20m was sampled in each grid square, giving an approximate sampling intensity of 0.25%. The 50m x 20m vegetation plots were located in the southeast corner of each of the 900m x 450m grid rectangles. Within each sample (vegetation) plot, every tree with a diameter at breast height (dbh) of 10cm and over was recorded, marked with red paint, and identified. An EUCAMP botanist provided the field identification of plant species. Specimen collection was made of fertile individuals, and difficult to identify species.
