Andhra Pradesh forest inventory report 2010

This first its kind assessment of forest wealth in Andhra Pradesh by the state forest department provides information on not only the growing stock but also on regeneration status, bamboo occurrence needed for silvicultural management of the forests.

The report provides analytical information on the growing stock of Andhra Pradesh forests by density class wise of each territorial circle and division distributed in different tree species and their diameter classes. A comparison of the growing stock of the areas which were inventoried in the past has also been made. In addition the report provides the distribution of bamboo resource and grasses in the state and incidence of pests, weeds and grazing. Though some analysis of the vast data collected during inventory is yet to be done, it is hoped that the Andhra Pradesh will make extensive use of the inventory report for strategic planning at the state and district levels of forestry and related sectors and for sustainable management of the forests.
