Abstract:
Proper recording and documenting of the richness of biodiversity is foremost for conservation. The present paper is an attempt to assess tree diversity in and around the remote village Seri Palai of Jammu (J&K).Data was collected through sample plot surveys.The survey conducted has recorded total of 31 species belonging to 17 families and 25 genera. Based on the calculations of frequency, density and abundance, IVI of each species was calculated to assess the tree diversity.Moraceae has been recorded as the largest family with 4 species followed by Fabaceae, Mimosaceae and Rutaceae with (3 species each), Anacardaceae, Meliaceae, Myrtaceae and Rhamnaceae with (2 species each). Acacia modesta was found to be the dominant tree species followed by Butea monosperma respectively in forest area. Out of all tree species observed in outside forest area, Butea monosperma was the dominant tree species followed by Mangifera indica. Among the different genera present in the study area, Acacia, Ficus and Citrus are reported to be dominant represented by 3 species each, followed by Zizyphus by 2 species, while rest of genera are represented by 1 species each. Ratio of family to species is 1:1.82 and genera to species as 1:1.24.
