| Abstract: | A study conducted to assess the floor vegetation shows the presence of 17 species underPopulus deltoides in comparison to 28, 29 and 35 underAlbizia lebbeck, Dalbergia sissoo and mix-culture plantations, respectively. Further, the biomass and density of floor vegetation is considerably reduced underP. deltoides compared to other plantations. In addition, the indices for species richness, evenness, dominance and diversity are also
reduced underP. deltoides showing some inhibitory mechanism being operative under these plantations. Based on available literature, allelopathy is
speculated to be responsible for this reduction. |
