Abstract
The effect of biotic disturbances in population structure of six important tree species of dry peninsular sal forest has been studied during present study. The total reduction in tree density was recorded as 33% in disturbed (Unprotected) forest site and 9% in protected forest site. The reduction in density of dominant trees species was 10% and 27%, respectively for Shorea robusta and Terminalia tomentosa in disturbed forest site, while it was 4% and 10%, respectively in protected forest site. It was inferred that the disturbance in forest effects the phytosociologicals status of the site.
