A comparative study of tree species composition of Birjoura forest beat and Tarach forest beat of Bajag forest range, Dindori district (M.P.)

Abstract

This study designed to evaluate the ecological diversity of tree vegetation in Birjoura forest beat and Tarach forest beat of Bajag forest range, Dindori district (M.P.). Both the forest beats are very well known for their characteristics as dense forest. To screen the ecological status of these forests a stratified random quadrate method was employed in the study. A total of 51 tree species were recorded from Birjoura Forest Beat and 53 tree species were recorded from Tarach Forest Beat. The work conclude that though both the forest beats belong to same forest range, they differ in pattern of diversity in tree vegetation and specially in regard to the pattern of dominance.
