species and its presence is good in majority
of the cities and towns.
Pipalo
is important
species. Although number is not very high but
appears dominant in some cities due its canopy
dimension.
A few exotic species like Gando baval (
Prosopis
chilensis)
,
Eucalyptus sp.
, Su-baval, Isarael
baval and Saptaparni are among the twenty
dominant tree species in the urban areas.
Pipal (30,890) and Vad (24,830) do not appear
in the list of the main twenty species but their
presence is felt
,
and they are dominant species
in term of biomass and Carbon store values. The
distribution of different tree species in different
Nagarpalika
follows the trend that prevails in
the
Mahanagar Palika
of that region.
