Study of population changes of Melocanna baccifera, Dendrocalamus hamiltonii and Dendrocalamus longispathus under one, three and five year fallow periods in Mizoram

Abstract

For three bamboo species (Dendrocalamus hamiltonii, D. longispathus and Melocanna baccifera), the population flux was studied from 1995 to 1997. This study includes the number of culms in the beginning, the growth and loss, and the number at the end. The influence of three different fallow periods (1, 3 and 5 years) was studied.
