Estimation of the above-ground biomass in three important tree species of dry deciduous forests of Udaipur (Rajasthan) is presented. The tree species selected for the investigation are Annona squamosa Linn., Diospyros cordifolia Roxb. and Wrightia tinctoria R. Br. The area of study is the Chirva forest, situated 10 km north of Udaipur town. From the study it is concluded that in all the three species, the height of tree, girth at breast height and net above-ground biomass increases with an increase in the number of growth rings. The accumulation of the biomass is the highest in D. cordifolia and the lowestin A. squamosa. The trend of the biomass accumulation is correlated with the amount of photosynthetic area.
