Species composition and regeneration pattern along a transect perpendicular to a river course in foot-hill deciduous tropical forest of Kumaun

Thirteen forest stands located perpendicular to a river course were studied for species composition and regeneration pattern in the Bhabhar belt located at the foothill of the Himalaya characterized by tropical climate. The study area was severely impacted by anthropogenic disturbances. In the stands complete dominance by any one species was lacking except one stand were Sal (Shorea robusta) the late successional Dipterocarpaceae species grew pure. In a few stands trees of Holoptela integrifolia, Dalbergia sissoo and Tectona grandis (planted), Trewia nudiflora and Acacia catechu were present in sizable number. Mallotus phillipensis is the greatest reproducer in this study area recruiting generally many more seedlings and saplings than other forest species. This non-fodder species had comparatively better regeneration than good fodder species.
