摘要

A seasonally dry, Sal (Shorea robusta)-dominated forest in the Eastern Himalayan lowlands of the Mahananda Sanctuary, Darjeeling had a far greater species richness (87 species in greater than or equal to 10 cm and 69 species in greater than or equal to 30 cm girth class) and diversity than other sal forests in India. Euphorbiaceae, with 8 species, was the most speciose family followed by Lauraceae, Meliaceae and Leguminosae. Dispersion of species was either clumped or random, and only two species were uniform. Rare species (less than or equal to 1 stem ha(-1)) constituted 36% of the flora and were randomly distributed. Tree species dominated the flora with 87.3% share. Mixed dominance of species groups prevailed in the forest, i.e. large, medium and small trees and shrubs shared stand density in nearly equal proportions, but climbers were less abundant. Among five most abundant species, none was a large tree. However, four of the five species accumulating maximum basal area were large trees. All the girth classes showed a multi-species dominance, with 21 species in mature ( greater than or equal to 180 cm girth), 40 in elder (greater than or equal to 90 to < 180 cm), 55 in young ( greater than or equal to 30 to < 90 cm), and 68 in juvenile class ( greater than or equal to 10 to < 30 cm). Six species were available only in seedling layer (greater than or equal to 30 cm height to < 10 cin girth). Thus of all 93 species, 20.4% showed good regeneration, 10.8% fair, 30.1% poor and 17.2% lacked regeneration. The remaining 21.5% species seem to be reappearing. While high-grade timber species were poorly regenerating, shrubs and climbers were regenerating well. Despite legal protection, this diverse sal forest continually experiences anthropogenic interference by the inhabitants on fringes. Rare species that contribute maximum to the tree diversity are at high risk of local extinction.
