Wildland fires and moist deciduous forests of Chhattisgarh, India: divergent component assessment

Variations in Herbaceous Composition of Dry Tropics Following Anthropogenic Disturbed Environment

“…Likewise, Jhariya et al 5,13 ; Jhariya and Oraon 2 and Kittur et al 14 described that most of the species documented in the investigated area follow the contagious and random distribution pattern whereas the regular distribution was negligible.…”

“…The disturbed site supports more herbs as compared to least disturbed site due to reduction in competition for space and resources. The herb increases immediately due to the anthropogenic disturbance due to general reduction in tree cover that eventually supportive to growth and development of herbaceous vegetation due to availability of resources 5,13,14,30,31 .…”

“…The disturbances with high severity generate relatively homogeneous resource availability while low to moderate severity disturbances partially remove the canopy and generally result in greater resource heterogeneity 12 . Anthropogenic disturbances in forests followed by livestock grazing and forest fire adversely affected the composition of herbaceous vegetation 13,14 , it is therefore imperative to conserve the herbaceous vegetation of these sites. Hence, present study attempts to assess the composition and diversity of herbs following anthropogenic disturbance.…”

Structure and regeneration status of woody plants in the Hallideghie wildlife reserve, North East Ethiopia

“…Tropical forests and woodlands are being lost at an alarming rate due to increasing human populations and corresponding land use changes (Pimm et al, 2006;Jhariya et al, 2014;Kittur et al, 2014;Behera et al, 2017). Most of natural vegetation losses are occurring in the tropical developing countries like Ethiopia where the livelihoods of their nations are directly or indirectly linked to natural resources (UNFAO, 2010).…”

Forests and Landscapes of Dominican Republic

“…Underw., whose vigorous growth and dense coverage hinder the regeneration of the forest. The deforestation of broadleaf and mixed forest is carried out by livestock and agricultural farmers and the repercussion of fire varies depends on the environmental conditions and the type of forest [5][6][7][8][9]. In cases where the broadleaf (cloud) forest is burned, its dense coverage prevents the regeneration of the primary forest.…”
