Species Diversity and Tree Regeneration Patterns in Tropical Forests of the Western Ghats, India
Figure 5
Percent frequencies of trees (≥30 cm gbh) in different vegetation types. Most of the species were in the lowest frequency class in all vegetation types other than MONT, indicating that a few species were widely distributed; most were restricted in distribution. This is a typical species-abundance distribution (normal distribution) and the tree species in all the vegetation type were heterogeneous distribution in Raunkiaer’s sense.
