Habitat comments: "tropical dry evergreen forest... a 'sacred grove' or 'temple forest'... very close to human settlement (~0.2 km)... about 5 ha remain under forest cover" and there is "forest encroachment for expansion of temple structures, construction of road, cattle grazing, resource removal (fodder, firewood, medicinal plants, timber, etc.) and the impact of temple visitors by way of cooking inside the forest during festive occasions, vehicle parking and solid waste dumping (polythene, glass bottles, etc.)"
the climate is "tropical dissymmetric" with two monsoons and a March-May dry season

Life forms: trees

Sites: 1

Site area: 1

Sample size: 1338 individuals

Size min: 10

Basal area: 34.5

Sampling comments: "two contiguous 0.5 ha (1 ha) permanent plots (200 m × 50 m)"
per-ha data are also reported for 1992 and 2012; the 1992 data apply to two 1 ha plots but are rounded to the nearest integer, so they are useless
