Abstract

Homo sapiens greatly depend on food, shelter and cloth which forest produces majorly. The impact of anthropogenic activities on the changes of forest quality and quantity is increasing overtime which as negative effect on ecological services. Therefore, study was investigated on the impact of human activities on litter fall production, tree diversity and structural changes in tropical rainforest. Sixteen (16) sampling plots of 25 x 25 m in size were laid at line transect of 1 km at an interval of 100 m. Also, sixteen (16) quadrants of 1 x 1 m were also laid within each plot for collection of litterfall. The parameters examined were Dbh and total height while volume and basal area were extrapolated. Shannon Weiner and evenness were also assessed. Data collected were analysed using Shannon Weiner, Analysis of variance and descriptive statistic i.e. percentage and frequency. The result from the study showed that litter fall in 2010 was higher than 2015 ............................................................................................................
