Abstract
Tropical deciduous forests are rich in diversity and needs continuous conservation due to recent threats. The present study was done in these types of forests. A total of 30 tree species belonging to 14 families were recorded. Fabaceae was the dominant family having 12 species. Total stem density in the present study was found to be 1359.75 individual ha -1 . Tree species density varied from 1.25-513.5 individual ha -1 . Stem density was found to be maximum (545 ha -1 ) in the girth class 25-30 cm, which accounts for 40.08% of the total stem density. Basal area varies from 0.053–31.44 m 2 ha -1 for different species. Shorea robusta exhibited the highest IVI (48.59) which indicates that the forest is dominated by Shorea robusta trees. Forest showed rich diversity as Shannon-Wiener's index and Simpson's index for trees was found to be 2.46 and 0.83 respectively.
