Abstract
Existing Condition of Shorea Robusta Forest and its Management: A Case Study from Nabadurga Community Forest, Dang District, Nepal
Highlights
Shorea robusta (Sal) forest management is highly challenging issue in Terai and inner Terai region of Nepal
As found by the study of DFRS [11] about Scientific Forest Management (SFM) areas of Kapilvastu district, Sal forests are managed under simple coppice, coppice with standards and coppice with reserves besides all high forest systems
The study was conducted in Nabadurga community forest of Dang district
Summary
Shorea robusta (Sal) forest management is highly challenging issue in Terai and inner Terai region of Nepal. The study was carried out in Nabadurga Community forest, Dang district, Nepal in 2018 to analyze existing condition of Sal forest and its management practices. The CF is pure Sal forest comprising 94% of total species in all classes (seedling, sapling, poles and trees). It shows that the regeneration status and growing stock of the CF is good which signifies that the condition of forest is good. Sal Forests in Nepal cover one million ha, representing more than 16% of the total forest of the country [9] For this species, natural regeneration is the only relevant method of regeneration [10] and silvicultural operations are required to improve the productivity [11]. This research was an attempt to explore existing condition of Sal forest and its management and offers suggestion for the changes in existing management practices
