S4 – Reader breakdown- we have the reader breakdown here, majority was the researchers reading
about this 20% followed by phd and masters students. If we look at readers by discipline, the major

S5- abb and def

S6- paper aims – SO what are the aims of this paper, the authors wanted to quantify the above
ground carbon stocks as they are obviously poorly represented specially when compared to the
lowlands.

Paper also sheds light upon the variables that could affect the above ground biomass, elevation,
sites selected and the climate factor in the montane regions

It also compares the carbon stocks of African montane forests to that of the lowlands, and montane
forests in other regions

Finally it aims to discuss the potential implications for directing conservation efforts for the TMF and
get the attention of the policy makers in Africa and also globally
