Tree Diversity and Structure of Andaman Giant Evergreen Forests,
India
M. Rajkumar(1) and N. Parthasarathy(1,2)
(Manuscript received 7 March 2008; accepted 6 August 2008)
ABSTRACT: We investigated tree diversity in ‘giant evergreen forest’ of Andaman and Nicobar
Islands, which falls within the Indo-Burma hot spot of biodiversity in the world. A one hectare square
plot was established in sites Kalapahad (KP) and Macarthy Valley (MV) of Middle Andamans, in which all trees ≥ 30 cm girth at breast height (gbh) were enumerated. Tree diversity totaled 105 species that belonged to 63 genera and 49 families. Site MV harboured ~10% greater species richness than KP. Species diversity indices did not vary much between the two sites. In the two sites, there were 1311 individuals of trees (579 ha-1 in KP and 732 in MV). The stand basal area was nearly equal in both the sites (KP- 45.59 m2 ha-1; MV- 47.93 m2 ha-1). Thirteen tree species (12.38%) were strict endemics to Andamans. Ten species recorded are rare to the flora of these islands. The two sites are distinctly dominated by two different plant families; Dipterocarpaceae in KP and Myristicaceae in MV. Most of the species were common to central and lower region of Myanmar and Indian mainland. The forest standstructure exhibited a typical reverse-J shape, but site MV had double the density of stems in the lower tree size class than that of KP. The voluminous dipterocarps contributed more to the total above-ground live biomass. The need to preserve these species- and endemics- rich, fragile island forests, prioritized for biodiversity conservation, is emphasized.
KEY WORDS: Tropical rainforests, Andamans, Tree diversity, Forest structure,
