The present experiment was carried out to assess influence and inter-relationships of soil properties in grasslands of three national parks in Madhya Pradesh, Central India. Above ground biomass samples of grass and soil samples were collected during different seasons based on specified measurement protocol by the state forest department. Aboveground biomass of grass showed a characteristic growth pattern throughout the year, increased and achieved maximum biomass at the end of rainy season (September), while started decreasing and attained minimum biomass during pre-summer (March) season. Mean aboveground biomass in the study regions varied from 2.03 (Bandhavgadh National Park) to 5.44 Mg/ha (Kanha National Park) with an average biomass of 3.37 Mg/ha. Biomass showed strong correlation with soil moisture (r=0.69), organic carbon (r=0.77) and electric conductivity (r=0.80) at p=0.05. Correlation between six soil properties showed significant correlation (r=0.90; p=0.01). From this analysis it can be conclude that variation in soil moisture, electric conductivity and organic carbon have direct effect on biophysical properties of grass. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
