- Abstract
Jharkhand is considered to be one of the richest plant diversity states in India. The present paper reveals the study of tree diversity of Jubilee park of Jamshedpur, East Singhbhum, Jharkhand. Data recorded included plant species name and individual number of each plant species. Data analysed were shannon-wiener Diversity Index, Relative Frequency, Relative Density, Relative Dominance and Important Value Index. The results showed that there were 34 species of trees present in the site. Among the trees Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth, Delonix regia (Boj. ex Hook) Raf were found to be having highest frequency of 100% followed by Tabebuia rosea (Bertal.) DC. (80%), Pongamia pinnata (L.) Pierre and Ficus benghalensis (40%). The data recorded for trees showed that Tectona grandis (L.f.) and Peltopharum pterocarpum (DC.) Baker ex K. Heyhe had highest Important Value Index (IVI) i.e. 23.27 and 18.05. It was followed by another most dominant species Albizia lebbeck (L.) benth with IVI (15.75), Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels with IVI (13.42), Pongamia pinnata (L.) Pierre with IVI (12.32) etc. The minimum IVI found in Acacia nilotica (L.) Delile is 2.56. The present study describes the ecological status including taxonomic structure and richness of the terrestrial flora of the Jubilee park.
