The ecology in terms of physico-chemical and biological properties of Urpod beel and Kumri beel of Goalpara district of Assam were assessed from 2001 to 2003. Physico-chemical properties of both the wetlands were observed favourable. Biological properties such as plankton population and primary productivity fluctuated within the permissible limits. However, eutrophication tendency appeared in both the wetlands due to autochthonous and allochthonous input.

Abstract


The ecology in terms of physico-chemical and biological properties of Urpod beel and Kumri beel of Goalpara district of Assam were assessed from 2001 to 2003. Physico-chemical properties of both the wetlands were observed favourable. Biological properties such as plankton population and primary productivity fluctuated within the permissible limits. However, eutrophication tendency appeared in both the wetlands due to autochthonous and allochthonous input.
