Abstract: The forests of Bannari were studied to define the distribution pattern of different tree species and their growing stock. There is a significant variation in the composition of tree species and their basal area in different localities. Analysis of basal area from different compartments reveal grouping of certain species in specific to certain localities. The association of tree species and their stocking has also been shown a similar trend. Among the 12 species, Acacia leucophloea, Lannacoro madelica, Sapindus emarginatus, Santalam album, Erythroxylon mongysum, Cassia caradus and Mallotus tetracoccus, have contributed the maximum basal cover in the forest.
