Spatial distribution of Tephrosia purpurea on different habitats in relation to soil, community and site factors

Abstract

In natural communities, identification of environmental as well as species intrinsic factors associated with its spatial distribution is crucial one for establishing a more resilient community. Spatial paternities of Tephrosia purpurea were assessed at three different types of habitat, namely older alluvial plain (OAP), younger alluvial plain (YAP) and Piedmonts located (36 sites) with-in semiarid regions of the Indian Thar desert. Distinctive dispersion indices deals with diverse numerical inborn probabilities were quantified. The result revealed a dominant clumped pattern at OAP habitat, while site-specific patterns (random, uniform and clumped and uniform and random) recorded at YAP and at Piedmont. In totality, community parameters don’t demonstrate any noteworthy association with the clumped pattern type of this species at OAP and YAP habitats, further at YAP habitat, site quality elements were additionally non-significant for any example sort. Threshold limits of some exploratory parameters also record that possibly would decide the faith of its distribution type.
