Paragraph on Sikkim trees
Answers
Answer:
Tropical and subtropical forests of Sikkim show a rich concentration of tree species. The Tropical forests occur at low altitude bordering with West Bengal in Tista and Rangit Valleys. Maximum diversity is exhibited by Shorea robusta Gaertn.
Answer:
sikkim has long been an ecologically conscious state with initiatives such as a comprehensive ban on plastic, bio- Smedical and chemical waste in 1997, and initiation of programmes such as the Smriti Van and the Green Mission
Plan in 2006. Sikkim is part of the eastern Himalaya hotspot. Wide range of topography, varied climatic condition
and high annual precipitation makes this region one of the richest phyto-geographic regions of Himalaya. 47.59% of the
geographical area is covered with forest and tree cover. The present paper provides updated list of trees belonging to the
known 717 species, 320 genera and 95 families in Sikkim with their correct name, average height, flowering and fruiting
period and altitudinal range of distribution. The most dominating family is Lauraceae followed by Euphorbiaceae while
the most dominating genus is Ficus with 30 species followed by Sorbus and Rhododendron with 15 species each. The
first ten dominating families contribute 45% of the total species and 35% of the total genera recorded from this region
while the first ten dominating genera contribute 19% of the total species. The paper also discusses the phytogeography of
tree species recorded from this region. The Government of Sikkim has launched a unique and innovative programme
called “State Green Mission” with the view to raising avenue plantation and beautification of all vacant and waste lands
to further reinforce wide spread recognition of Sikkim being a Green State. A few indigenous trees are suggested in this
paper for avenue plantation and reclamation of wastelands. The multifunction of tree diversity is also discussed
emphasizing on the potential of sustained livelihood generation for the rural population of the state.
