Role of Insect-Pollinated Flora in the Gurguripal Forest: A Study of Biodiversity, Forest Regeneration and Entomophilic Interactions

Author(s) Chhatradhar Das
Country India
Abstract The Gurguripal Forest in West Medinipur, West Bengal, has experienced significant ecological transformation due to deforestation and overgrazing, leading to soil erosion and degradation in the early 1980s. Initially dominated by Shorea robusta (Sal) trees, the forest has gradually recovered through watershed management and afforestation efforts, such as gully modifications and earthen dam construction.
This study investigates the role of insect-pollinated flora (entomophilic plants) in the biodiversity and regeneration of the Gurguripal Forest. Insect pollination plays a vital role in plant reproduction, fostering biodiversity and ecological stability. A multidisciplinary approach combining literature review and on-site botanical surveys was carried out to assess plant and insect diversity, and to explore the relationship between forest regeneration and entomophilic interactions. The study identifies dominant plant families such as Fabaceae, Asteraceae and Dipterocarpaceae which depend on insect pollinators. In conclusion, exuberant entomophilic flora exemplify the dynamic relationships between plants and insect pollinators which includes significant success in rejuvenating the degraded forests.
