Vegetation dynamics and biomass production of undergrowth vegetation in Eucalyptus tereticornis plantation

摘要

The present study deals with phytosociology and biomass production pattern of undergrowth vegetation in Eucalyptus tereticornis plantation in Hardwar Forest Division, situated in Ganga basin. The total number of plant species were recorded as 56, 39and 32 during rainy, winter and summer season respectively. Cannabis sativa was dominating the community by having maximum value of Importance value index and co-dominating by Ageratum canyzoides. The maximum biomass production of undergrowth vegetationwas recorded during rainy season and minimum during summer season.
