STRESZCZENIE
The Kenyan tropical rain forest is under imminent threat of degradation due to the changes in climatic condition and rapid growing human population. This study determined the changes in woody species diversity between natural forest (secondary forest) and plantation forest during different stages of plant succession. The secondary data from three forest blocks was obtained from Kenya Forest Research Institute and used to derive species diversity. Variation in species diversity and abundance was analyzed by SPSS software. Species richness was significantly different between plantation and secondary forest types (P<0.001).
