| Popis: |
Tropical dry forests experience a long annual dry season therefore soil moisture availability is the predominant determining factor for the ecosystem processes in such forest types The seasonal rainfall gradients and the availability of soil moisture have been observed to be highly associated with the distribution diversity and primary productivity of plant communities in tropical dry forest The soil moisture availability exhibits significant spatial heterogeneity which is responsible for the interspecific differences in the important components of resource use strategies like leaf phenology and the function of water conducting xylem tissues We observed seasonal variation in the soil water availability in tropical dry forest located in Vindhyan highlands India The results indicated significant seasonal and site wise variations in soil moisture content We suggest that for proper management of the tropical dry forest vegetation it is necessary to understand the major ecosystem processes influenced by the soil moisture conditions |
