Floristic Diversity Assessment in River Sand Mining near Palri Bhoptan Village, Kisangarh Tehsil, Ajmer District, Rajasthan, India
Niteesh Kumar and Ajay Kumar

Abstract: A phytosociological study of river sand mine near Palri Bhoptan village, tehsil-Kisangarh, district Ajmer, Rajasthan has been undertaken to evaluate the impact of restorative interventions on floristic structure and composition. The study was aimed at enumeration of the available plant resources and obtaining a broad representation of the existing floristic variations in the mine lease area and surrounding mine buffer areas. The mine lease area is located near villages Bhanwata, Narwar, Manpura, Beer, Oontra, tehsil-Ajmer, district-Ajmer, Rajasthan. One protected forest lies within the project affected village i.e., in Palri Bhoptan while one protected forest and one open scrub lies in buffer zone of the project area. Mining is a major source of economy in Rajasthan but is also a major cause of ecological disturbance due to the land degradation and related changes in the structural and functional characteristics of the native vegetation. This study describes the floristic composition and phytodiversity assessment of mining and mining surrounding area.
