The conclusion drawn from the present study shows that there was an
increase in bulk density, particle density, EC and soil available N
and K while per cent pore space, water holding capacity, organic
carbon while soil available P, Ca, Mg and S got declined. An
increase in bacterial population and reduction in fungal and
actinomycetes population was recorded. The fire has made a serious
impact on vegetational composition due to the continuous promotion
of retrogression by repeated fire occurrence. The effect of forest
fire has heavily influenced the vegetation composition of the study
site. The diversity indices and the vegetational study help to
conclude that the type of fire occurring in the study site is crown
fire and seriously damaging the tree strata in the vegetation. The
analysis in the burnt and unburnt area showed that the forest has
good regeneration potential especially after the monsoon period.
However, the regeneration potential has been seriously affected due
to regular occurrence of forest fire.The diversity indices and
vegetational study helps to conclude that the regeneration
potential of the study site is good enough to regain its original
vegetation.
