Effect of Small-Scale Variations in Environmental Factors on the Distribution of Woody Species in Tropical Deciduous Forests of Vindhyan Highlands, India

Figure 1

Hierarchical classification of the 45 sampling plots in the forests of Vindhyan highlands based on cluster analysis of some selected environmental variables. Group 1 with 20 plots had high levels of soil moisture, clay, silt, organic C, total N, total P, and canopy light attenuation, and Group 2 with 25 plots had high levels of rockiness and low levels of soil moisture, clay, silt, organic C, total N, total P, and canopy light attenuation.
