Microhabitat Influencers in Native Orchids of the Western Ghats: Insights from Wayanad, India

Author(s) Sabu VU

Abstract Our findings underscore that the intricate interplay of microhabitat elements within Wayanad’s forests is central to the survival and adaptability of native orchids. These environmental factors shape not only the distribution and abundance of orchids but also their physiological and reproductive adaptations. Preservation of these microhabitats is thus critical, as changes in soil, climate, or forest structure could severely impact orchid populations. This research provides a foundational understanding of the environmental requirements of orchids in the Western Ghats and offers valuable insights for conservation strategies aimed at maintaining biodiversity in these fragile ecosystems. The study advocates for habitat-specific conservation efforts, emphasizing the need to maintain microhabitat conditions as part of larger ecological preservation initiatives across the Western Ghats.
