Abstract

The study is focused to study the diversity and distribution of shrubs in the Behali Reserve Forest. A total of 46 species of shrubs belonging to 40 genera representing 25 families were documented. Rubiaceae and Lamiaceae were the dominant families. Pycnarrhena pleniflora has the highest IVI value of (48.25) followed by Coffea benghalensis (41.1). Plotting in Raunkiaer’s frequency class distribution it was found that the shrub community of BRF is heterogeneous in nature i.e. represents uniform species diversity which does not allow the dominance of a species. Among the recorded shrubs, Pycnarrhena pleniflora, Coffea benghalensis, Boeica filiformis, Gnetum gnemon and Dalhousiea bracteata has a good population status. Gnetum gnemon on the other hand a potential NTFP of BRF has an infrequent distribution which is due to its high economic value and unregulated collection. The market value of G.gnemon and its conservation needs are also presented.

阿萨姆邦比斯瓦纳特邦贝哈里保护区灌木的多样性和组成,特别强调了印度灌木。
研究了北海里保护区灌木的多样性和分布。共记录到灌木25科40属46种。优势科为茜草科和兰草科。其IVI值最高(48.25),其次是咖啡(41.1)。在Raunkiaer频率类分布中发现,BRF灌木群落在本质上是异质的,即代表均匀的物种多样性,不允许一个物种的优势。在有记录的灌木中,锦绣花、咖啡、细叶波伊卡、木犀草和小苞达尔杜鹃的种群状况良好。另一方面,由于其高经济价值和不受管制的收集,草属植物是BRF的潜在非传染性疾病,其分布频率不高。本文还介绍了芡粉的市场价值和保护需求。

期刊介绍: The fundamental task set by the editors of the journal is to bring together and present a diversity of research connected with ecology. Apart from the traditional ecological research areas, the scope of the journal will embrace more peripheral ecological issues connected with other disciplines of biology. Recognizing the increasing importance of the humanities in ecological research, the editors will strive to give such issues due representation in the journal. We hope to encourage the researchers contributing to the journal to adopt an unconventional approach to solving ecological problems, to go beyond classical, well-established conceptions, and to include methodological and anthropological issues. Such an approach is validated by the intensive development of the sciences bordering on both biology and the humanities that has been observed over recent years.
