主 题：Dry deciduous forest Forest fire Fire mapping Regeneration Western Ghats
摘 要：Introduction:The study was conducted in Mudumalai Tiger Reserve,in the Western Ghats to understand the effect of a single fire event on tree diversity and regeneration *** forest patches were selected which were unburned,2-year-old burn,5-year-old burn,and 15-year-old *** 0.1 ha square plots were laid randomly in all four patches and analyzed for tree diversity,stand structure,and regeneration of tree ***:A total of 4129 individuals of tree species were recorded in field surveys,comprising 3474 seedlings,121 saplings,and 534 ***,40 tree species were recorded in study plots,from which 28 species were seedlings,16 species were saplings,and 37 species were at tree ***:Tree diversity decreased in 2-year-old and 5-year-old burnt plots and was reached to the level of unburnt plots in 15 years of *** of small size classes started increasing after the *** density increased linearly in subsequent years after fire but sapling and tree density recorded less than control in B2 but was higher in B5 and *** overall fire affected diversity,but regeneration showed a positive trend.
