FIRE EFFECT ON SURVIVAL ON MPTs INTRODUCED IN RANGELANDS

摘要

Observations recorded on fire incidence in 1994 and 1995 in red gravelly and medium black soils, respectively revealed that 5 MPTs viz., Dendrocalamus strictus, Dichrostachys cinema, Emblica officinalis, Hardwickia binata and Madhuca latifolia had more tolerance to fire under red gravelly soils. Similarly, in medium black soils 5 MPTs i.e. Albizia lebbek, Dendrocalamus strictus, Pongamia pinnata, Terminate belerica and Zizyphus mauritiana showed more tolerance to fire hazards.
