A total of 31 tree species belonging to 19 families were evaluated. The study area is dominated by Shorea robusta in terms of density and IVI. Regeneration of four species viz, Chloroxylon swietenia, Wrightia tinctoria, Flacourtia indica and Diospyros melanoxylon was good. The study area exhibited fair regeneration status despite of the high anthropogenic pressure on the woody species. http://pubs.sciepub.com/aees/10/5/1/aees-10-5-1.pdf Phytosociological Sal IVI Bandhavgarh regeneration
