The keys have been provided for plant species from infra specific to family level for easy identification. The short diagnostic description phenology ecology and distributional aspects have been provided under each plant species. Besides statistical analysis of floral composition the phytogeographical and biological spectra have also been worked out to determine the routes of migration and phytoclimate respectively. Bioperspective value of the Reserve has been assessed to determine the economic potentiality and sustainable utilization of bioresources. The faunal diversity includes vertebrate fauna only arranged in a classified manner. The shelter and feeding habits along with dependency of fauna on vegetation have been provided to determine plant animal relationship and flow of energy. Details about endemic and threatened species of plants and animals along with causes of threats have been given for proper management of the Reserve. About 107 colour photographs of habitat and plants and animals with 36 illustrations of plant species have been provided. Several maps pie charts graphs figures etc. along with data tables are appended to illustrate the findings. It is hoped that the book will prove a milestone in the management of the Reserve. 416 pp. Seller Inventory # 64566
