Abstract

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.

According to the Raunkiaer’s law of frequency classes Purandar tehsil represents heterogenous vegetation. The primary and secondary compositions were noted for the other 17 locations of the tehsil where perennial vegetation was studied.
