Comprehensive Changes of Vegetation of Forest Division of Jhalawar, Rajasthan: A Case Study

Author(s): Dilip Kumar Sharma and Dr. OP Sharma

Abstract:

Rajasthan has a wide range of agro-climatic conditions that support the diverse range of plant species. The livelihood or farming practices of ancient people are also truly sustainable in many ways to cultivate and conserve the plant species. The objective of this research was to answer the question of whether the floristic characteristics of the forest communities described in the working plan 1961-62 to 1970-71 have changed, and if so, what are the reasons for these changes and their environmental and economic consequences. The study showed a significant decrease in the number of native plant species due to natural or artificial changes in habitats, which evolved towards richness of invasive communities. The study identified that the disappearance of vegetation due to two main causes one is a natural cause, (regeneration of patches) and another is the anthropogenic disturbance. The impact is described more broadly and considers both the positive and negative roles of changing the floristic compositions of forest ecosystems.
