The status and distrubution of Jurinea dolomiaea Boiss. (Dhoop) in different habitats has been assessed using stratified random sampling. Belt transects of 20 × 2 m were laid to quantify the availability of Dhoop. Highest density (27,215 individualslha), frequency (86%) and biomass (1,687 kg/ha) were found in the undulating meadows and least in the rocky habitats, where the density, frequency and biomass were 3,125 individuals/ha, 26% and 193 kg/ha respectively. Patterns and processes of Dhoop extraction by the local people are discussed in the light of conservation implications.

Abstract


The status and distrubution of Jurinea dolomiaea Boiss. (Dhoop) in different habitats has been assessed using stratified random sampling. Belt transects of 20 × 2 m were laid to quantify the availability of Dhoop. Highest density (27,215 individualslha), frequency (86%) and biomass (1,687 kg/ha) were found in the undulating meadows and least in the rocky habitats, where the density, frequency and biomass were 3,125 individuals/ha, 26% and 193 kg/ha respectively. Patterns and processes of Dhoop extraction by the local people are discussed in the light of conservation implications.
