PHYTOSOCIOLOGICAL STUDIES OF CHLOROPHYTUM TUBEROSUM AND ASSOCIATED PLANTS IN THE FORESTS OF MANDU, M.P.

摘要

With the depletion of natural forests, the forest products are getting scarce. The Indian Institute of Forest Management has identified non-timber forest products (NTFP) as a potential revenue generator in future. Thus, all NTFPs have to be managed in such a way that they remain ecologically and socially sustainable. Because of the unawareness of the medicinal values and conservation of Chlorophytum tubemsum, it is being extracted from forests on a large scale to the extent that it has entered the list of endangered species. The phytosociological parameters projected that Chlorophytum tubemsum has a high value of percentage frequency and density. The percentage frequency class showed that the species was natural homogenous and regularly distributed in community.
