Abstract:

Aim of the study was to assess the quantitative status of plant diversity of the Udaupur Wildlife Santuary, West Champaran, Bihar. Five random sites were selected for the collection of vegetative data. Different phyto-diversity indices were such as species richness, concentration of dominance, Evenness and Shannon and Wiener index were used for assessment. On the basis of IVI, top five dominant tree species for different sites were estimated. Study reveals that Near Permanent Nursery study was most diverse site followed Majharia Jungle-I, Jal Bharia, Majharia Jungle –II and Balwa Rampura.


Keywords: Quantitative status, Diversity index
