摘要：Dynamics of species distribution, species composition and species number are very
important areas to be understood for sustainable management of forest and tree resources.
The paper endeavours to solicit information on dynamics of tree species in terms of their
composition and number, and also assesses the relationship between socio-economic
factors and tree species dynamics. The study was conducted through survey of 98 sampled
households, focus group discussion and direct field observation. Species composition
and species number of tree resources of the study area are identified for different time
period. The study found out that proportion of tree species loss on farmland was higher
than that of species introduction. Similarly, 20 species were found with very limited
distribution in the study area while two of them are already under the threatened category
at the national level. The reasons for species change in the farmland are also identified.
Farmers are now attracted to grow fast growing, multipurpose and easily available tree
species. Economic return is the major concern for them. Such a situation may lead to
further loss of tree species from the farmland. Some species such as Shorea robusta
and Phyllanthus emblica, which were among the widely distributed in the beginning, are
now about to be lost because of easy availability in nearby forest, slow growth rate and
limited uses.
