  • Analysis of Mangrove Vegetation of Diviseema
    Received: 10th August-2012 Revised: 13th August -2012 Accepted: 19th August -2012 Research article ANALYSIS OF MANGROVE VEGETATION OF DIVISEEMA REGION, KRISHNA DISTRICT, ANDHRA PRADESH Nabi A.1* , Brahmaji Rao P.2 and Rama Prasad A.V.1 1Department of Humanities & Sciences, D.M.S.S.V.H. College of Engineering, Machilipatnam. 2Department of Environmental Science, Acharya Nagarjuna University, Guntur. Email-id: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Mangrove Ecosystems play an important role in preventing cyclones and tsunamis at estuaries from entering into interior land and in the economic development of local inhabitants. Mangrove plants have special adaptations such as stilt roots, viviparous germination, salt-excreting leaves, breathing roots, knee roots by which these plants survive in water logged anaerobic saline soils. The study of mangrove ecosystems in the deltaic region of Krishna river, particularly in Diviseema region is very less and hence taken up. Selection of the main field stations, the study of various representative quadrats of sub-field stations and the study of mangrove species are made. The Frequencies, IVI, MIV and SI and CD of the mangrove species in the study area are determined and analysed. Key Words: Mangrove Ecosystem, Vegetation analysis, Important Value Index, Maturity Index Values, Similarity Index and Coefficient Difference. Abbreviations: IVI - Important Value Index; MIV - Maturity Index Values; SI-Similarity Index; CD - Coefficient Difference. INTRODUCTION Mangrove plants are specialized to tolerate high salinity, tidal extremes, and high fluctuations in wind, temperature and muddy anaerobic soil with the development of some adaptive morphological characteristics. No other groups of terrestrial plants survive well under such conditions.

Other publications on the marine environment. ( 170 ) 47. MARINE HABITATS 47.1 Mangroves The total mangrove area in India has been estimated at 6740 km2. Of this, Andhra Pradesh has about 9 per cent, an area of 582 km2. The greater part of the mangrove forests in Andhra Pradesh are in rhe Krishna and Godavari River estuaries (see Figure 32 on next page). To protect these unique forests, the Andhra Pradesh Government has formed two sanctuaries. The Coringa Wildlife Sanctuary in East Godavari District, was established in 1978, while the Krishna Sanctuary in Nagayalanka, Vijayawada, was inaugurated more recently. The mangroves of Andhra Pradesh are mainly Auicennia. A clear felling system is being practised, on a 25-year rotation basis in Coringa, and every 15 years in Kandikuppu (both in East Godavari). The Krishna mangroves are also managed on a 25-year rotation felling system. Before the abolition of private estates came into Areas notified as mangrove forest blocks force, and the subsequent grouping of the region’s mangroves into forest blocks (see table District Name of rho forest block Area in ha alongside), most of the mangrove areas in East Godavari were under the control of private estate East Godavari owners, who heavily exploited them. The mangrove areas were further degraded by Kakinada Tq. Kegita R.F. 467 indiscriminate felling and grazing.

N. Veerendra, B.Kumarvel such adoptive nature can reduce possible impacts. In terms of Abstract: The average global sea level rise has been rising from protection, world's poorest countries, small islands are most the past 30 years, the past tide gauge information shows, the rise affected and prone to massive displacement, the optimists was about 18 cm (7.1 in) above over a century from 1897-97. In assume, protection is unaffordable and may fail to lead to most precise, data acquired from satellite radar shows the sea level rise was accelerated from 7.5cm (3 in) from the past 20 years. The massive displacement of the population on an unpredictable speedup is due to many reasons, some of them like global scale (Nicholls.R, 2010). The pessimists believe that warming, expansion of seawater, melting of polar ice sheets and protection measures will be in widespread and were glaciers. The current trend is expected to furthermore accelerate successful through the technological advancements like flood due to industrial revolutions, which led to the reduction of natural warning systems and monitoring of location with sensor resources. In the present paper, a study area was chosen to evaluate the dynamics of the coast region, the location of the study assembly and IOT (Internet of Things) IOT. The study rise in area was across the sea coastline of Krishna district Andhra sea level is most linear along by temperature, but the Pradesh, India, the process of evaluation undergo with available connection among temperature and SL is expected probably collateral data consists of top sheets and satellite data of non- linear on past time scales.
