The foothill of Central Aravallis is stabilized with indigineous and exotic tree species. Tree species such as Acacia leucophloea, Acacia tortilis, Maytenus emarginata, Anogeissus pendula, Acacia senegal, Grewia tenax are dominants in Central Aravallis of Ajmer. These tree species were found to be suitable for plantation on different soil substrata. From ecological point of view it is necessary to find out the impact of these tree species on floor vegetation, soil and transfer of nutrient dynamics because many plant species show difference in chemical constituency which may lead to illuminate many beneficial local flora. In the present investigation, it has been observed that individual tree species affect the soil and litter properties and phytosociological parameters of many herbaceous plant species, such changes are either negative or positive from economic utilization point of view. It was estimated that differential rate of litter production in different seasons and chemical constituency of individual plant lead to differences in above ground biomass (AGB) and below ground biomass (BGB) of herbaceous species. Therefore, individual tree species should be scrutinized before plantation at specific sites of Aravalli hill ranges. Micro level variations in nutrient cycling may thus result in the differences in tree floor characteristics.
