Structure and diversity of SAL dominating tropical deciduous forest of Chhattisgarh, India
Author(s): Abhishek Raj
Abstract: The present study was conducted to investigate the stand structure and diversity in four different sites of Sal dominating forest in tropical Deciduous Forest. Vegetation structure, composition, and diversity were recorded in four sites. The forest was characterized with 33.5-46.8 m2 ha-1 trees and 0.31-0.35 m2 ha-1 sapling basal cover. Species richness and diversity for tree, sapling and seedling layer decreased with decreasing quality of sites and follows in order of site I> site II> site III > site IV, respectively. Concentration of dominance was followed in similar trends except beta diversity. However, site quality represents the nature and characteristics of soils which reflects the structure and diversity of forest.
