Abstract

The aim of the study was to assess the impact of Indira Sagar dam on floral resources in Eastern Ghats region of India, using a primary data base on floristic diversity. During the floristic surveys, 245 species belonging to 204 genera under 81 families were recorded. The dominant family was Euphorbiaceae with 15 species and Cassia was the largest genus. Several species may face more pressure from exploitation as they provide a number of useful products of the project area. To compensate for the loss of various goods and services provided by the forests falling in the submergence area and to decrease pressure of the affected families on the forests, a biodiversity management plan is suggested in the light of prevailing socio-economic conditions.
