Dry Forest Vegetation Analysis and its Soil Properties
Journal Title: Journal of Plant Science and Research - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Thirty sample plots (40m×25 m) were randomly sampled from three different sites of the dry forest under different management practices; natural forest protected by local people (CF), protected natural forest (PNF) and primary forest (PF) in Shwesettaw Wildlife Sanctuary. A total of 44 species belonging to 23 families at the adult tree level were recorded in the study area. The PF was found the highest 29 species of 19 families, following 29 species of 16 families in PNF, 21 species of 11 families in CF respectively. Tectona hamiltoniana indicated the highest ecological significant species in the study area. Mimosaceae was the dominant in the study area. The structure described by diameter distribution was reversed J-shaped. Soil properties (BD, OM and pH) showed differences at significant level (p< 0.05) between CF and PF. By using PCA, the results showed that the species distribution is mainly related to soil compaction (BD) among the soil variable investigated at p< 0.05.
