Vegetation
ecology is the study of 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. In all 300 quadrats (1m x 1m size) for herbaceous vegetation
were laid down in the Purandar tehsil. GPS was noted for every quadrat laid at different
locations. Based on the data recorded by quadrat method, qualitative and
quantitative structures analysed were Frequency, Abundance, Density, and
IVI. The highest Simpson species diversity for
herbaceous vegetation reported was 0.94 and Shannon’s; 3.19 thus, illustrating the rich
plant diversity.
