Activity patterns and time budgets of the Andaman Crake,Rallina canningi.

Abstract :

The fungal diversity of natural soils was monitored over two seasons (before and after summer rainfalls) in three types of Tropical Evergreen forest types viz., Wet Evergreen Forest, Semi Evergreen Forest and Dry Evergreen Forest of Tamil Nadu, Southern India. Of the 64 soil samples examined 71 taxa belonging to seventeen genera were isolated. Majority of fungi belonged to Hyphomycetes followed by Zygomycetes, Ascomycetes and Coelomycetes. Penicillium and Aspergillus were the most dominant genera in all the three forest types. The diversity indices of forest soil fungi for two seasons were 2.57, 2.49; 2.65, 2.21 and 2.78, 2.70 (Shannon-Weineer), 0.87, 0.84; 0.88, 0.81; and 0.91, 0.90 (Simpson index) and 10.51, 11.1; 8.68, 6.04 and 8.38, 7.87 (Fishers's alpha), respectively. The fungal diversity as well as composition differed among the three forest types. The highest fungal flora was recorded in the wet ever green forest, where the soil was rich in macro and micro nutrients. Most of the fungi were common in all three types of forests.
