Structure composition and diversity of woody vegetation of sal mixed dry tropical forest of hmalamdi watershed in barnawapara sancuary, Raipur district of Chhattisgarh, India was studied in over and uner storey forest in four different aspects, Nine prominent tree species were recorded in over and under storied forest with the predominance of Shorea robusta in all the aspects. In the overstorey(pooled), relative density values ranged from 3.03 to 43.94 and understorey from 0.04 to 42.71, Shorea robusta recorded highest relative density in over and understorey vegetation followed by Madhura indica and Tectona grandis The IVI values ranged from 15.88 to 78.62 in overstorey and 14.28 to 83.89 in understorey. The highest IVI values recorded by Shorea robusta in both over and understorey. The diversity(Shannon index value) ranged 1.28 (northern aspect) tp 1.67 (southern aspect) for overstorey and 1.10 (northern) to 1.59 (western) for understorey. The study illustrated that overstorey tree strata in the forest is more dominant than understorey. The Shamun index, Simpson's index. Spceies richness, Equitability and Beta diversity values were almost higher in overstorey as compared to unerstorey thereforer the present study reveals the normal regeneration pattern in the forest.Keywords

A field experiment was conducted on an alluvial soil to determine sewage sludge efficiency on the soil of Black Gram (Vigna mungo) field. Six treatment combinations (3 varieties x 2 sewage sludge doses) were applied to conduct this research. After harvesting of crop, soil samples were taken and brought into the laboratory for analysis of different soil parameters. pH of soil varies from 8.1-8.4. This shows the basic nature of sewage sludge. EC of the soil varies from 0.24-0.27 dSm-1. Organic carbon of the soil varies from 0.49-0.53 % due to increasing carbon content in sewage sludge. Due to improving electrical conductivity nitrogen and phosphorus were also increased. The potassium content of the soil varied from 155.39-166.67 kg/ha. Thus, the study reveals that, soil pH, electrical conductivity, organic carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were inclining with increasing doses of sewage sludge.Keywords
