摘要
The vegetation of a newly created tiger sanctuary in south-western Nepal is described in detail. Six major vegetational associations were identified. It was found that several subtypes of Shorea robusta forest covered over 70% of the land area of the reserve. Open grassland, savannah, and riverine forest accounted for the rest. Modifying factors which have altered vegetational composition and wildlife habitat are discussed. The most serious of these influences have been man's activities in relation to clearing for cultivation, grazing of domestic stock, and uncontrolled burning. A model of successional patterns observed within the Karnali-Bardia Wildlife Reserve is proposed. © 1979.
