Family 3 < 1 0 1 1 1.7 0.00 TAt the family level, Moraceae and Rubiaceae are the most diverse with 10 specieseach, followed by Celastraceae with 8 species, and Euphorbiaceae and Fabaceae with 6species each. In terms of stand density, Dracaenaceae is the most abundant, mainly due toD. fragrans, followed by Rubiaceae, mainly due to C. arabica (Table 4.1 and Appendix 3).45
Floristic analysis of the undisturbed forest4.3.2 Classification and indicator speciesThree vegetation groups (Figure 4.1) were identified using cluster analysis in combinationwith MRPP. The analysis was based on abundance data of the plant species in the studyplots. One plot (Plot68) was an outlier due to the very high abundance of Diospyrosabyssinica (mainly seedlings) and was, therefore, excluded from the analysis. The T-valuestatistic for the seven groups was –22.18 (P < 0.001), while the A statistic (chancecorrectedwithin-group agreement) was 0.19. The T test statistic is based on Pearson typeIII distribution. The P-value associated with T is determined by numerical integration of thePearson type III distribution. The A statistic is a descriptor of within-group homogeneity,and falls between 0 and 1. When the items are identical, A=1. In community ecology valuesof A are commonly below 0.1 (McCune and Mefford 1999). The community types variedin size, ranging from 13-23 plots.46
