Abstract

A study on the regeneration of the Shorea robusta Gaertn in tropical forest of Palpa district was carried out during June-November, 2005. The altitude of study area ranged from 200 m -700 m asl in north facing slope. The study area was natural forest where, Shorea robusta and Terminalia alata, were dominant species .The size class distribution of Shorea robusta resembled the reverse J-shaped curve indicates better regeneration of sal in study area. Sapling and seedling density of Shorea robusta significantly correlated (p=0.01) but was no significant relation with soil parameter.
