  With the aim of restoring the disturbed sites on one of the premier tiger reserve of the country or the only biosphere reserve of the state, the study was planned to investigate the effect of disturbance on seed germination, early seedling growth and adaptation potential of Cassia fistula (L.), Albizia lebbeck (L.) and Dalbergia sissoo Roxb. in Similipal Biosphere Reserve (SBR), Odisha. The study sites of the biosphere reserve was categorised into disturbed, moderately disturbed and undisturbed stands on the basis of disturbance index. They differ from each other in forest floor light intensities along with other biophysical characters. High light intensity in the forest floor of Disturbed Stand (DS) than Undisturbed Stand (UDS) and Moderately Disturbed Stand (MDS) of the reserve was found suitable towards significantly higher rate of seed germination and seedling growth of the three ..
