Phytosociological attributes viz, density, dominance, frequency, Importance Value Index (IVI) and regeneration status of tree community were assessed in Sal (Shorea robusta)-dominated forests of buffer zone of Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve during the year 2016. 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.
