Conservation Priority of Indian Tropical Dry Deciduous Habitat: Case Study in Panna Based on Potential Regeneration of Tree Species

The Panna Tiger Reserve's conservation efforts serve as an excellent example of sustainable wildlife conservation.Therefore, to better understand the features of tropical dry deciduous forests of PTR, various metrics were used, such as species density and regeneration status of different tree species.The findings indicate that 19 tree species were designated as good regenerators, while 36.956percent of tree species were deemed non-regenerative .PCA and Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) studies were utilized to find the relationship between the different life forms of plants and the predictor or environmental variables predicted tree, seedling, and sapling density .The PCA-MLR Model accurately and revealed that shrub density, shrub cover, and disturbance variables such as lopping, cutting, cattle dung, and grazing were the most important contributors to lowering tree density.In addition, shrub density, shrub cover, and cattle dung were the most important elements influencing seedling density, whereas herb density, grass density, tree cover (%), and height were the most important factors influencing sapling density.
