    Abstract

  • Study of sal regeneration status in borer affected areas  was carried out in the Kisli range of  Kanha Tiger Reserve. An attempt has been made to find out the characteristics of the vegetation community of the forests of the Protected Areas. Analysis of the vegetation was done following the standard ecological methods widely adopted for such studies (quadrat method). A total of 85 plant species from 35 families were documented comprising of 15 species of trees, 33 species of shrubs and saplings of tree species and 59 species of herbs and seedlings of tree/shrub species. This study provides a baseline data for all such future studies. In terms of Importance Value Index (IVI), Shorea robusta was found to be the most dominant species among trees with IVI value of 194.89, followed by Terminalia tomentosa with IVI value of 51.61 and Syzygium cumini with IVI value of 9.13. Similarly most common plant species amongst shrubs was Flemingia nana (IVI-57.44. Aamong herbs, Arthraxon lancifolius (IVI- 33.94), Imperata cylindrica (IVI-22.86) and Elephentopus scaber (IVI- 17.27) were found to be dominant species in this area.
