Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: This study was conducted in Pachaimalai, a part of southern Eastern Ghats in Tamil Nadu. A 10 ha plot was established in Punavarai village in Attur Taluk, Salem District. In all, 29 species spread in 23 genera and 17 families recorded from study plot. Physiognomically both deciduous and evergreen trees are present in study plot. In all, 15 deciduous species and 14 evergreen species were there in study plot. Wood density of species varied from 0.45 to 0.90 g cm-3 in study plot. The mean density of study plot is higher than what has been reported for the Indian sub-continent, Africa, Australia and North-America. Keywords: tropical forests; Eastern Ghats; Indian trees; physiognomy.
