Plant species composition on two rock outcrops from the northern Western Ghats, Maharashtra, India

Abstract. Biodiversity datasets are generally stored in different formats. This makes it difficult for biologists to combine and integrate them to retrieve useful information for the purpose of, for example, efficiently classify specimens. In this paper, we present BioKET, a data warehouse which is a consolidation of heterogeneous data sources stored in different formats. For the time being, the scopus of BioKET is botanical. We had, among others things, to list all the existing botanical ontologies and relate terms in BioKET with terms in these ontologies. We demonstrate the usefulness of such a resource by applying FIST, a combined biclustering and conceptual association rule extraction method on a dataset extracted from BioKET to analyze the risk status of plants endemic to Laos. Besides, BioKET may be interfaced with other resources, like GeoCAT, to provide a powerful analysis tool for biodiversity data.

“…The varied topography supports this extent of angiosperm diversity in BWS. Rahangdale & Rahangdale (2014) reported that, more diversity is associated to the areas having more diverse topographical features constituting varied type of microhabitats supporting different life forms. The results of the present study are also in corroboration with the previous study of two locations in the northern Western Ghats adjoining the Bhimashankar Wildlife Sanctuary.…”

“…Documentation of vegetation and forest types was done using the types and subtypes given by Champion & Seth (1968) with a few variations. Microhabitats, especially on the plateaus were also recorded following the types given by Watve (2013), and Rahangdale & Rahangdale (2014).…”

“…Wetland plants of Mutha riverbed near Pune (29) and later 74 macrophytes are reported from Mula river in Pune city (30). Recent reports from the region provided structure and composition of wet microhabitats on the high altitude plateaux and plants associated with these microhabitats (31)(32)(33). All these evidences showed that, the comprehensive reports with special reference to the aquatic ecosystems of the region are not available.…”

The wetlands and wetland macrophytes play crucial role in the ecosystem with direct as well as indirect benefits of uncountable value. A study was undertaken to document angiospermic wetland macrophytes in Pune district, Maharashtra state, India. Results of the study revealed that, there are 11 categories of wetlands in Pune district including seven natural and four man- made. These wetlands harbour 457 angiosperms belonging to 72 families. Of these, 457 taxa, 204 taxa are under different categories as per IUCN, while 253 are not evaluated. Among recorded taxa, one is ‘Critically Endangered’ (Eriocaulon santapaui), three ‘Endangered’ (Iphigenia stellata, Eriocaulon richardianum and Dimeria hohenackeri), two ‘Vulnerable’ (Isachne bicolor and Utricularia albocaerulea) and 198 taxa are ‘Least concerned’. Total 67 Indian endemic taxa are recorded from the wetlands in the study area.
