Nestled in the Aravalli ranges, Sitamata Wildlife Sanctuary offers a diverse array of ecosystems where plants like Madhuca indica (Mahua tree) exhibit remarkable adaptability to varying environmental conditions. The study focuses on understanding how Madhuca indica responds to stress factors such as soil composition, moisture levels, altitude, and microclimate variations. These ecological pressures influence the tree’s morphology and physiology, driving it to adapt for survival. By exploring the Mahua’s responses, the research aims to uncover the intricate genetic flexibility of the species, illustrating how changes in any of these conditions can impact its growth, structure, and the broader forest ecosystem.
