“…A study from Rao et al (2006) in three forest divisions in Andhra Pradesh indicates that the number of tree species accounted for 71.56% of the total species recorded in the state. In Gujarat, the JFM area records a total of 174 species across three forest divisions (Patel et al, 2006). In Rajasthan and Tripura, species number and species diversity index of control plots were higher than in protected JFM plots (Table 1).…”

Studies in South and Southeast Asia were reviewed to understand the impact of community forestry initiatives in recent times on the ecology, with respect to species richness, biomass enhancement and forest regeneration. The findings from diverse ecological regions of South and Southeast Asia have demonstrated that community forestry has resulted in significant increase in plant diversity and biomass production. In this region, over 25 Mha of degraded forestland and fragile ecosystems have been regenerated to meet the economic and ecological needs of local communities, along with increase in productivity of timber. Various practices of the local community in enhancing regeneration, diversity and productivity have improved the status of forests. This paper suggests adaptive forest management practices in addition to silvicultural practices as a strategy to manage forests in a people friendly way. . His interests cover evolutionary ecology concerning plant reproductive ecology, community forestry, conservation biology, tropical deforestation patterns, developing sustainability indicators for managers including micro finance and natural resource management.
