slopes, both Sporobolus sp. and Aeluropus<br />
logopoides were found almost equal. In the<br />
unprotected (outside) area, (excluding Cyperus<br />
haspan) the dominance <strong>of</strong> Aeluropus logopoides<br />
was found to be maximum (88.6 per cent <strong>of</strong> the<br />
biomass).<br />
Amongst the five sub-compartments, contribution<br />
<strong>of</strong> Sporobolus sp. was maximum in the narrow<br />
vertical slopes (29.1 per cent) and was followed by<br />
unploughed (22.7 per cent) and ploughed (24.4 per<br />
cent) areas. Species like Aeluropus logopoides and<br />
Echinocloa sp. were dominant in unploughed area<br />
while Cenchrus sp. dominated (32.9 per cent) in the<br />
narrow vertical slopes and surprisingly this species<br />
was totally absent in the ploughed area. The species<br />
Scirpus sp. was more in the ploughed area (38.3 per<br />
cent) when compared to unploughed area (23.2 per<br />
cent).<br />
