Abstract

There are about 22 plant species in seedling stage at 300-400 m, 26 at 400-500 m and 33 at 500-600 m elevation where per cent contribution of seedlings to that of total enumerated varies from 27 to 96%, 28 to 100% and 37 to 100% respectively. Regeneration of Aegle marmelos and Dalbergia paniculata is confined to 300-400 m while Stereospermum suaveolens, Boswellia serrata, Terminalia chebula, Semicarpus anacardium and Sterculia urens to 400-500 m and Anthocephalus cadamba, Soymida febrifuga, Gardenia gumifera, Butea monosperma, Cassia fistula to 500-600 m elevation. The distribution pattern of natural regeneration is characterised by contagious distribution. Ratios of individuals of mature trees and seedling of the same species vary from 1:166 to 1:4 at 300-400 m, 1:128 to 1:0.86 at 400-500 m and 1:98 to 1:3 at 500-600 m elevation.
