Conservation of woody tree species at Nadukani Tropical gene pool garden in Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve (India)
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
In this present study, conservation of tree species was enumerated with an object to determine the composition of tree diversity, endemism and its threatened status at Nadukani Tropical Gene Pool in Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. Totally 62 woody tree species belonging to 52 genera and 31 families were enumerated. Lauraceae and Moraceae were the dominant plant families and the genera Ficus and Syzygium were the dominant genera. Totally 24 rare and threatened tree species were collected from the study area. Thus the conservation of forest trees in the study area in their native environments targeted the in situ conservation. It is concluded that this comprehensive information on trees diversity of the Nadukani tropical gene pool is a good database which will be useful to implement better conservation strategies and management of tropical forests and ecosystems.
