Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: The life forms and biological spectrum of a grassland community of Bangiriposi (86032'30'' E ; 22008'30'' N ) in the district of Mayurbhanj, Odisha was studied following the principle led down by Raunkiaer [1], Dansereau [2] and Rao [3]. The community comprises of 32 species. They belonged to four different life form classes i.e. Chamaephytes, Hemicryptophytes, Cryptophytes and Therophytes. The community was found to be Chamaephytic. The percentage of Chamaephytes was found to be maximum (46.88%) followed by Therophytes (34.37%), Hemicryptophytes (12.50%) and Cryptophytes (6.25%). The present study exhibited higher percentage of Chamaephytes and Therophytes compared to Raunkiaer's (1934) normal spectrum.
