Moist Teak Deciduous, Evergreen forest
Tectona–Dillenia–Lagerstroemia lanceolata–Terminalia paniculata series
Konni Reserve Forest
This project aims to reveal the intricate fresh water system and shallow swamps in the flat bottomed valleys of Konni reserve forest. The midlands of the southern Western Ghats are home to the moist teak deciduous and the evergreen forests. Investigation of the numerous hillocks and valleys leads to the study of the complex fresh water system that is crucial for the survival of biodiversity. With the help of the Odonata species, a fresh water indicator, the presence of fresh water is traced. This process led to the discovery and further study of the seasonal freshwater swamps that are present in the flat bottomed valleys of the forest.
