PHYTOSOCIOLOGICAL STUDIES ON URANIUM DEPOSITS OF BHILWARA DISTRICT

Uranium deposits have been found to occur in Dhor and Tikhi Ka Jhonpara in Jahazpur area of Bhilwara district. Atomic Mineral Directorate for Exploration and Research Department (Western region) is working there for mining of uranium. Phytosociological studies were carried out in those areas. It is interesting to note that Rhus mysoresis and Anogessius pendula have highest fidelity, constancy, sociability and cover-abundance values in Dhor and Tikhi Ka Jhonpara repectively. So these plant species might be "Characteristic species" in those areas.
