Résumé : |
An attempt was made to examine the occurrence, regeneration and extraction patterns of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) at three locations in the Western Ghats of Peninsular India. NTFP-yielding plants in the Western Ghats constituted about 40% of the flora. However, only less than 50% of the 229 NTFP species were commercially exploited. The rest were used by local people. Species richness was variable between sites but reflected disturbance regimes and/or the magnitude of NTFP extraction. During NTFP collection, often branches are lopped for harvesting fruits, fires are lit at the base of trees to stimulate resine flow and the bark is collected in a destructive manner. Highextraction rates of some NTFPs resulted in poor density, sparse distribution of species and depletion of biodi[...] An attempt was made to examine the occurrence, regeneration and extraction patterns of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) at three locations in the Western Ghats of Peninsular India.

Species richness was variable between sites but reflected disturbance regimes and/or the magnitude of NTFP extraction. During NTFP collection, often branches are lopped for harvesting fruits, fires are lit at the base of trees to stimulate resine flow and the bark is collected in a destructive manner. Highextraction rates of some NTFPs resulted in poor density, sparse distribution of species and depletion of biodiversity. Yet herbaceous NTFP species, capable of regenerating through vegetative means, registered adequate regeneration, even when 95% of the plants were harvested. An understanding of the vital attributes of the NTFP species is, therefore, critical for sustainable NTFP management. |
