Biomass structure of two sites (biotically disturbed BD and un-distubed UD) was studied during the present study. Total basal area was 7.9 m2/ha in BD site and 9.7m2/ha in UD site. Three important tree species Anogeissus latifolia, Acacia catechu and Terminalia tomentosa accounted 88% in BD area and 66% in UD area, of total tree density. Total above ground tree biomass was 22.05 t/has in BD area and 31.19 t/ha in UD area. Total above ground tree biomass of two sites differ significantly (P0.0l). In present study it is observed that the undisturbed condition bearing much higher biomass and tree diversity than that of the biotically disturbed.

Abstract


Biomass structure of two sites (biotically disturbed BD and un-distubed UD) was studied during the present study. Total basal area was 7.9 m2/ha in BD site and 9.7m2/ha in UD site. Three important tree species Anogeissus latifolia, Acacia catechu and Terminalia tomentosa accounted 88% in BD area and 66% in UD area, of total tree density. Total above ground tree biomass was 22.05 t/has in BD area and 31.19 t/ha in UD area. Total above ground tree biomass of two sites differ significantly (P0.0l). In present study it is observed that the undisturbed condition bearing much higher biomass and tree diversity than that of the biotically disturbed.
