Source-page captions
Photo 15.7 Interior of Abiy Dur forest near Waseya. The steep banks of ephemeral streams running through church forests are often covered by dense thickets of understorey trees and shrubs, and act as surrogate forest ‘core’ area for understory bird species and other forest specialists. Abiy Dur (49 ha) is large enough to have a proper forest core area in addition to these ephemeral river habitats. The stream running through the forest is an interesting route to explore the entire elevation gradient of the forest. The cacti on the right are Opuntia ficus- indica, an alien invasive species common in Dogu’a Tembien that is appreciated for its fruits, cactus-figs (beles in Tigrinya). Photo Raf Aerts (2003)
