Status of Plants Species in Southern Aravalli Hills - Gujarat, India

Large areas of species rich forest of North Gujarat Region (Southern Aravalli Hills) have been cleared up to make ways for agriculture, human habitation, mining and industrial developments that often lead to forest fragmentation. Hence, very systematic and species - oriented conservation efforts are essential to protect the important species and their habitats by patching the fragments. Further, literature review also showed that there has not been any detailed and holistic study to addresses the above said issues. The present study was designed to fill up these lacunae and is an attempt to deliberate the different aspects of plant communities present in Southern Aravalli Hills
