Chapter: Ii Regional Setup: Physical and Socio-Economic
CHAPTER: II REGIONAL SETUP: PHYSICAL AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC 2.1 Introduction Vadodara district with 7548.50 Sq km area, is located central part of mainland Gujarat, lies between 21°49‟19” and 22°48‟37” north latitude and 72°51‟05”and 74°16‟55” east longitude. It falls in the Survey of India, degree sheets numbered 46B, 46F, 46J & 46G. The district is bounded in north & northeast by Anand, Panchmahals & Dahod districts, in east & in south east by Madhya Pardesh & Maharashtra State, in south east by Narmada district & in south & in west by Bharuch district. Vadodara city, the district headquarter is about 100 km south of Ahmedabad, is well connected to other parts of the State & Country by network of highways and railway network. Vadodara is redesigned in 1997 on the grounds that entire Tilakwada Taluka and a few towns of Nasvadi Taluka of the district has been moved in recently made Narmada region. Kavant Taluka has been recently made from Chhota Udaipur Taluka of the district. In this way at present the district has 12 talukas with 1,553 villages and 16 towns. Figure 2.1 Taluka Boundaries and Taluka Headquarters of Vadodara District. (Source: CGWB Report) Figure 2.1 delineates Administrative boundaries of Vadodara area alongside district head quarter and taluka limits with taluka head office, Vadodara region is subdivided into twelve 21 Talukas, viz. Vadodara, Savli, Vaghoriya, Sankheda, Jetpur Pavi, Chota Udaipur, Kawant, Naswadi, Dabhol, Sinor, Karjan and Padra. 2.2 Physical Aspect 2.2.1 Physiography: Vadodara region shapes a piece of the great Gujarat plain. -
Biodiversity of Coastal Areas of Valsad, South Gujarat
International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN: 2319-7064 ResearchGate Impact Factor (2018): 0.28 | SJIF (2018): 7.426 Biodiversity of Coastal Areas of Valsad, South Gujarat Ayantika Das1, Jigna Desai2 1, 2Veer Narmad South Gujarat University, Department of Biosciences, Surat, India Abstract: The present study documents the diversity and quantitative assessment of fringing mangroves in these nine different estuarine regions of Valsad district of South Gujarat. The most outstanding feature of our study is that we observed four species of mangrove and sixspecies of mangrove associate namely Avicennia marina, Sonneratia apetala, Salvadora persica, Acanthus illicifolius, Ipomoea pes caprae, Sesuviarum portulacastrum, Clerodendrum inerme, Derris heterophylla, Cressa cretica,and Aeluropus lagopoides.The dominant mangroves in these areas are Avicennia species and Acanthus illicifolius.Earlier works included Rhizophora mucronata which was not found during this study in any of the nine spots of mangrove forests.We have used the Jaccardian similarity index to analysis the floral diversity of our mangrove sites. Our studyhighlighted the relation between water quality parameters, environmental and anthropogenic stress and speciescomposition and structures of mangrove. Keywords: Quantitative assessment, anthropogenic pressures,water quality parameter 1. Introduction indicates that mangroves can change over from C3 to C4 photosynthesis under salt stress. Mangroves are prolific seed According to Chapman. 1976 coastal vegetation in India is producer that has higher viability as compared to other types categorized as – (1) marine algae(seagrasses) of littoral and of plants, also they are quick to attain height and biomass sublittoral zone, (2) algal vegetation of brackish and (Alongi. 2002). saltwater marshes, (3) vegetation of sand dunes, (4) vegetation of drift lines, (5) vegetation of shingle beach, (6) Though they breed sand flies and mosquitoes their benefits vegetation of coastal cliffs, rocky shores and coral reefs exceed their few disadvantages. -
