Keywords: abundance, Transect line, densities, relative density, frequency
This study was conducted in Dinder National Park, during the dry season from February to May 2016, with the aim to determine the density, relative density, frequency and abundance of trees in the five Mayas in Dinder National Park. Data was collected using the transect line sampling method in the five Mayas namely; Abdel Ghani, Musa, Ras-Amir, Ein- Elshamis and Gererrisa. Abundance of trees and densities per Kilometer2 varied but highest abundance trees were Acacia seyal, Ziziphus spp, Combertum, Balanitie aegyptiaca and Acacia polycantha. Acacia seyal covers larger area in Dinder National Park and also one of the common and dominant tree species. So control of the spread of this species could be by cutting and selling them at local markets and nearby villages to avoid the entrance of people to the park for that purpose.
