Abstracts |
The experimental plantation of Pongamia pinnata, Jatropha curcas, Ailanthus excelsa and Withania somnifera supplemented with native microbial inoculants produced a catalytic effect on natural regeneration process in planted area on nutrient poor calcareous spoil. The planted area of the spoil showed accelerated immigration of surrounding flora which resulted into enhanced frequency, abundance, relative frequency of pioneering species as compared to unplanted area. Plantation supplemented with microbial inocuation has helped to accelerate jump start succession on mined spoil. |
