LANDSCAPE: The upcoming campus of IIT Tirupati is located in Merlapaka village of Yerpedu Village/Mandal. The campus shares much of its perimeter with the Reserve Forest on its Western periphery. That the Reserve Forest is hilly in its character, abruptly rising from the western periphery of the campus and is dominated by dense thorny vegetation that is rather difficult to penetrate, renders it susceptible and vulnerable to human influences notably fires. This zone is also a part of the traditional access to a small shrine uphill on the North-western periphery, as also some patches were under cultivation in the recent past. The campus also encompasses three permanent wetlands within its ambit, t A substantial portion of the campus in the central / north west portions is designated as sparse scrub indicating intense grazing, extraction pressure. This is followed by large tracts of barren, rocky land with little or no vegetation that is typical of landscapes that experience intense and long periods of dry climate. The vegetation in the Campus has been identified as Dry Deciduous Scrub Forest (5/DS1) as per the classification of Champion and Seth (1938). The present state of the vegetation is scattered thickets and scrub that has resulted from degradation and secondary growth. Constant grazing and fire in the landscape may be attributed to the transition from deciduous forest to scrubland. The Campus has a mosaic of habitat types including wetlands, orchards, grasslands, forest plantations and secondary scrub. The scrubland varies in density along the elevation gradient, i.e. the plant density increases with the slope. During the survey, spatial distribution of higher and lower density vegetation was mapped by adopting standard ecological procedures. Soil occurring in the study area appears to be the product of weathering of the local rocks. The major soil types identified by the Soil Survey and Land Use Organization in the study area are: red soils being the most common and distributed unevenly. Deep to very deep, medium to fine textured red calcareous soils with depth range from 45 to 90 cm is also observed. They are mostly sand to loamy sand. Thorny, evergreen thick-leaved woody angiosperms dominate the vegetation of the Campus. Presence of Anogeissus latifolia, Cassia fistula, Terminalia, and Hardwickia binata trees suggest that these are the remnants of the original dry deciduous forests of the landscape. The open intervening spaces have been colonized by Dodonaea shrub and/or Cymbopogon tall grass, apart from sparse and scattered tree saplings. The eastern part of the
