The life forms represented in the vegetation of Marriguda RF of Khammam District of Andhra Pradesh are Mesophanerophytes (24.4%) , Microphanerophytes (18%) , Nanophanerophytes (5.1%) , Chamaephytes (9%) , Hemicryptophytes (6.2%) , Geophytes (11%) , Therophytes (23%) , lianas (2.2%) , parasites (0.7%) and epiphytes (0.3%). Biological spectrum of the area is Phanerophytic. The dominance ofphanerophytes appears to be due to high rainfall , temperature and low biotic pressure. The biological spectrum of Marriguda RF is compared with Raunkiaer's normal spectrum and two local environments.

The life forms represented in the vegetation of Marriguda RF of Khammam District of Andhra Pradesh are Mesophanerophytes (24.4%) , Microphanerophytes (18%) , Nanophanerophytes (5.1%) , Chamaephytes (9%) , Hemicryptophytes (6.2%) , Geophytes (11%) , Therophytes (23%) , lianas (2.2%) , parasites (0.7%) and epiphytes (0.3%). Biological spectrum of the area is Phanerophytic. The dominance ofphanerophytes appears to be due to high rainfall , temperature and low biotic pressure. The biological spectrum of Marriguda RF is compared with Raunkiaer's normal spectrum and two local environments.
