Abstract

The account reviews and analyses the scietific projects derived from activities in connection with the Ethiopian Flora Project, including the [Ethiopian] Monocot Project, the Afro-alpine "Sky-island" project, the Vegetation and Ecological Conditions of Plantations Project, the Fire Ecology Project, the Aromatic Plants Project, RAPSUD, the Medicinal Plants Project, the Ethnobotany Project, as well as the project of producing an atlas of the potential natural vegetation of Ethiopia. The projects have resulted in many publications and a significant number of graduate students at MSc- and PHd-levels. After graduation these students have found their place in the netweorks for research and higer Edication, mainly in Ethiopia.
