Comprehensive research on floristic diversity in the Chitrakoot region of Satna district, Madhya Pradesh
Authors

Abstract
Chitrakoot (Satna district, M.P.), part of the Bundelkhand–Vindhyan
transition, hosts a mosaic of dry deciduous hill forests, sacred groves
(notably Kamadgiri), riparian corridors, and human-modified landscapes.
Existing studies report rich medicinal and ethnobotanical resources, with
multiple surveys documenting several hundred plant taxa and numerous
rare/endangered medicinal species. This paper synthesizes published records,
presents a standardized field protocol for a complete floristic inventory,
summarizes observed taxonomic/functional patterns and threats, estimates
diversity patterns, and outlines conservation and research priorities for the
region. Key recommendations include systematic baseline surveys using
stratified sampling, community-based conservation of sacred groves, ex-situ
conservation of threatened medicinal taxa, and integration with state
biodiversity planning.
