The paper deals with structure, composition, floristic elements, bio-climatic conditions and palaeoecology of the dry deciduous forests. On the basis of dominance, these forests are divided into the teak, sal and miscellaneous types and the latter into Anogeissus latifolia-Terminalia, Hardwickia bin...
We have harvested 589 individuals belonging to 23 woody species at the seedling and sapling stage from a tropical dry deciduous forest and developed species specific allometric equation and general allometric equation for aboveground biomass estimation. Further, the belowground biomass equation of 9 ...

Patterns of tree abundance and dispersion in a tropical deciduous (dry) forest are summarized. The generalization that tropical trees have spaced adults did not hold. All species were either clumped or randomly dispersed, with rare species more clumped than common species. Breeding system was unrelat...
The economic importance of dry forests is, however, being recognized very recently, and their marketing system is not yet well developed (e.g., Lemenih et al.2003; Worku2006; Shackleton et al.2008; Paumgarten and Shackleton2009). Given that the majority of forest users extract products main...

Dry evergreen forest (DEF) and dry deciduous dipterocarp forest (DDF) are major forest types extensively distributed in northeasternThailand, exhibiting different nutrient cycling properties. This study aims to improve our understanding on the pattern ofmass loss and nitrogen release from two categories...
