Plant diversity and stand structure comparison of Mikania micrantha invaded and non-invaded tropical Shorea robusta forest / S. Basnet in BANKO JANAKARI - वनको जानकारी : A Journal of Forestry Information for Nepal, 26: 1 (2016)

Title : Plant diversity and stand structure comparison of Mikania micrantha invaded and non-invaded tropical Shorea robusta forest Material Type: printed text Authors: S. Basnet, Author ; D. B. Chand, Author ; B.H. Wagle, Author ; B. Rayamajhi, Author Publication Date: 2016 Article on page: 78-81 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Basal area, invasion, Mikania micrantha, plant diversity Abstract: Mikania micrantha is considered to be the most problematic in terrestrial ecosystem
in Eastern and Central Nepal. Despite the current situation of the Mikania invasion,
quantitative data on the impacts and scale of the problems are lacking for the country.
Due to the lack of information regarding scale of invasion, the stakeholders have not
put forwarded the proper control mechanism of the species. This paper has made an
attempt to analyze the scale of invasion through the comparison of plant biodiversity
and basal area per hectare as the significance of stand structure between Mikaniainvaded
and non-invaded tropical Shorea robusta forest areas. This study was
conducted in Barandabhar Buffer Zone Forest of Chitwan National Park. Sampling
and measurement was conducted in both the invaded and non-invaded forest areas.
The stand structure of both the invaded and non-invaded areas were compared in
terms of different parameters like seeding density, sapling density, pole basal area
per hectare and tree basal area per hectare. Statistical analysis showed that there is
significant impact of Mikania on plant diversity at seedling and sapling stages. There
is negative effect of Mikania on stand structure of the forest. Hence, there is urgent
need to control the invasive weed so as to control further invasion and to conserve
biodiversity and productivity.Link for e-copy: http://lib.frtc.gov.np/elibrary/?r=582
