Nabarangapur district of Orissa is floristically worked out. The vegetation of the district is found to fall broadly under 1). Tropical semi-evergreen Forests and 2). Tropical Dry Deciduous Forests as per the classification of Champion and Seth. In addition to the above, several sub types and sera1 types like Bamboo btakes, Riparian Fringing Forest, Scrubs, Grasslands etc. are noticed. The natural vegetation which was predominantly arboreal before 1970 became greatly modified due to the settlements of East Bengal (Bangladesh) refugees under Dandakaranya rehabilitation programme.

Abstract


Nabarangapur district of Orissa is floristically worked out. The vegetation of the district is found to fall broadly under 1). Tropical semi-evergreen Forests and 2). Tropical Dry Deciduous Forests as per the classification of Champion and Seth. In addition to the above, several sub types and sera1 types like Bamboo btakes, Riparian Fringing Forest, Scrubs, Grasslands etc. are noticed. The natural vegetation which was predominantly arboreal before 1970 became greatly modified due to the settlements of East Bengal (Bangladesh) refugees under Dandakaranya rehabilitation programme.
