Abstract

The effect of super cyclone (October 29-30th, 1999 in Orissa) witnessed varying degree of damage to different tree species at different stages of growth. The effect was more pronounced in tree stage while it was least in seedling stage. Further, different species were damaged to different extent at particular stage of growth. The rating of species damaged would be done in the order of Delonix regia > Acacia mangium > Anthocephalus cadamba > Melia azedarach > Casuarina equisetifolia > Eucalyptus hybrid > Tectona grandis > Acacia auriculiformis > Gmelina arborea > Mangifera indica > Cocos nucifera> Dendrocalamus strictus > Emblica officinalis > Anonna squamosa > Bambusa nutans > Polyalthia longifolia > Syzygium cumini > Ailanthus excelsa > Pongamia pinnata > Azadirachta indica.
