摘要：The emerging field of conservation biology, focused on need of identifying species rich zones, their mapping and conservation. In the present study an attempt was made to identify different phytodiversity zones within north Andaman Islands using remote sensing, GIS and phytosociological field data. Zones were identified using three factors viz. altitude, aspect and forest patches, each categorizing into different zones and analyzed for 18 species parameters to obtain phytodiversity value. Based on values phytodiversity zonation map was prepared using GIS technique and area was categorized as high, moderate and low priority zones. The results of study showed that much of area is under high Phytodiversity category and is located within semi evergreen forest of north Andaman.
