EVALUATING PLANT DIVERSITY IN DIFFERENT FOREST TYPES OF KERALA BY LAYING OUT PERMANENT SAMPLE PLOTS
@inproceedings{Sasidharan1998EVALUATINGPD, title={EVALUATING PLANT DIVERSITY IN DIFFERENT FOREST TYPES OF KERALA BY LAYING OUT PERMANENT SAMPLE PLOTS}, author={N. Sasidharan and K. Swarupanandan}, year={1998} }
Four permanent plots, each of one 1-ha in size, were established in shola forest, wet evergreen forest, moist deciduous forest and dry deciduous forest in Kerala. Each 1ha plot was in turn subdivided into 100 quadrats 10 m x 10 m in size, with quadrats permanently marked. All mature trees (gbh > 30.1 cm) in the permanent plots were tagged and identified. Saplings (gbh 10.1 cm to 30.0 cm) in moist deciduous and dry deciduous forest plots were tagged and identified in all the 100 quadrats…

At any one site, clear differences in composition were recognized between adult and juvenile samples, but in terms of the variation in floristic composition over the whole of the forest zone, they are slight and forest types appear to 'breed true'.

The results suggest that the older BCI forest is not climax after at least 130 yr of succession, and some data suggest that wind—caused canopy gaps are important for the persistence of several species in the older forest.
