CONTENTS:
To determine minimum number of quadrats required for reliable estimate of biomass
in grasslands.
To study the frequency of herbacious species in grassland and to compare the
frequency distribution with Raunkair's standard frequency diagram
To estimate importance value index for grassland species on the basis of relative
frequency, relative density and relative biomass in protected and grazed grassland.
To measure the vegetation cover of grassland through point frame method.
To measure the above ground plant biomass in a grassland.
To determine Kemps constant for dicot and monocot leaves and to estimate the leaf
area index of a grassland community.
To determine diversity indices (richness, Simpson, Shannon weinner) in grazed and
protected grassland.
To estimate bulk density and particle density of grassland and woodland soils.
To determine moisture content and water holding capacity of grassland and woodland
soil.
To study the vegetation structure through profile diagram.
To estimate transparency, pH, and temperature of different water bodies.
To measure dissolved oxygen content in polluted and unpolluted water samples.
To estimate salinity of different water samples.
To determine the percent leaf area injury of different leaf samples collected around
polluted sites.
To estimate dust holding capacity of the leaves of different plant species
