Vegetation
ecology is the study of both structure of vegetation and vegetation
systematics. This contains the investigation of species composition and the
sociological interface of species in communities. In a phyto-sociological
study, field sampling is the first step. The quadrat methods were used for
studying the plant community/synecology. In all 170 quadrats (30m x 30m) for
woody vegetation were laid down in the Purandar tehsil. GPS was noted for every
quadrat placed at various locations. Based on the data recorded by quadrat
method, qualitative and quantitative structures analysed were Frequency,
Abundance, Density, Girth at Breast Height, and IVI.
The highest Simpson species diversity for
woody vegetation reported was 0.94 and Shannon’s 3.27; thus, illustrating the
rich plant diversity.
