Species Diversity and Tree Regeneration Patterns in Tropical Forests of the Western Ghats, India
Figure 6
Girth frequency distributions of trees in different vegetation types of the study area. Girth-size was highest in SEMI and EVER. A high percentage of lower girth class trees in DECI results from reduced fuel wood extraction by people of nearby areas. The reverse J-shaped gbh distribution of trees indicates evolving or expanding population.
