Abstract

Keoladeo National Park is a 'Ramsar site' which is flooded by Ajan bandh and is reserved for its high level of biodiversity. Owing to its global ecological, faunal and floral significance, it was declared a world heritage site in 1985. The total area i.e. 28.7 square km presents a variety of habitats i.e. marshy/wetlands, woodlands and grasslands etc. Wetlands support a variety of flora and fauna and have maximum biodiversity because of plenty of nutrients. However, wetlands may exhibit salinity due to upwelling of salts and that makes it a different site from the routine one. In order to evaluate the salinity status of the soil and its reflection on the vegetation, an analysis of soil and plants was carried out. For analysis three dominant plants of the Park viz. Acacia nilotica , Prosopis juliflora , and Mitragyna parvifolia were selected. Along with inorganic constituents, organic constituents of osmotica were also determined to evaluate their contribution under such conditions in plants. Key Words: Keoladeo National Park; Bharatpur; wetlands; Ramsar site; ecophysiological; salinity DOI: 10.3126/jowe.v4i0.2588 Journal of Wetlands Ecology , (2010) Vol. 4, pp. 43-68

印度巴拉特普尔Keoladeo国家公园的生态生理观察。

Keoladeo国家公园是一个“拉姆萨尔遗址”，被Ajan bandh淹没，并因其高水平的生物多样性而被保留。由于其在全球生态、动物和花卉方面的重要性，它于1985年被宣布为世界遗产。总面积28.7平方公里，有沼泽/湿地、林地和草地等多种生境。湿地支持各种植物和动物，并有最大的生物多样性，因为丰富的营养。然而，由于盐的上涌，湿地可能表现出盐度，这使得它与常规的地点不同。为了评价土壤盐分状况及其对植被的影响，对土壤和植物进行了分析。对该公园的3种优势植物进行了分析，分别是金合欢、朱柔豆和细叶密天竺葵。除了无机成分外，还测定了渗透剂的有机成分，以评估它们在这种条件下对植物的贡献。关键词:Keoladeo国家公园;巴拉;湿地;湿地网站;的地步;湿地生态学报，2010,Vol. 4, pp. 43-68 .
