Abstract

The present paper documents the findings of phytosociological attributes which have been carried out in tropical moist deciduous forest of Kuldiha Wildlife Sanctuary, Odisha, India. The main objectives of this study are to identify, characterize and classify the vegetation community which is naturally distributed in the forest reserve. The vegetation sampling and data analysis were done following standard procedures. One hundred and eight plant species belonging to 38 families in the form of 38 species of trees, 38 species of shrubs and 32 species of herbs are documented. The most common plant species based on importance value in tree, shrub and herb layers are Terminalia tomentosa (IVI-292.27), Shorea robusta (RVI-50.89) and Croton roxburghii (RVI17.11) respectively. Euphorbiaceae is found to be most dominant family. The incidence of fire, livestock grazing and other anthropogenic disturbance are responsible for depletion of the old and uneven age structure of forest. This study provides baseline information on the dry forests of Kuldiha Wildlife Sanctuary. Appropriate conservation and management can considerably improve the botanical value of Kuldiha Wildlife Sanctuary, and consequently their value for other life forms.
印度奥里萨邦库尔迪哈野生动物保护区植物社会学和区系评价
本文对印度奥里萨邦库尔迪哈野生动物保护区热带潮湿落叶林的植物社会学特征进行了研究。本研究的主要目的是对森林保护区内自然分布的植被群落进行识别、表征和分类。植被取样和数据分析按照标准程序进行。现有植物38科108种,乔木38种,灌木38种,草本32种。在乔木层、灌木层和草本层中,最常见的植物种类分别是毛毡层(Terminalia tomentosa) (IVI-292.27)、山葵(Shorea robusta) (RVI-50.89)和刺梨(Croton roxburghii) (RVI17.11)。大戟科是最占优势的科。火灾、牲畜放牧和其他人为干扰是造成森林老化和年龄结构不均匀的主要原因。这项研究提供了库尔迪哈野生动物保护区干燥森林的基线信息。适当的保护和管理可以大大提高库尔迪哈野生动物保护区的植物价值,从而提高它们对其他生命形式的价值。
