Research - PhD

Main focus: Eco-physiology of invasive plant (Mikania micrantha)

  • How, when and from where did the plant arrive in India? (Reconstruction of introduction pathways)

  • What is the present distribution of the species in a urban locality like Kolkata? (Mapping present distribution in the study area)

  • How does it establish and survive? (Phenoplaticity of traits)

  • How does it reproduce vegetatively to maintain its population? (Analysis of Relative Growth Rate)

  • How does it reproduce sexually to maintain its population? (Analysis of sexual reproduction and seed germination)

  • Its impact on resident plant community (Analysis of community composition)

  • Is it spreading within the city and the country? (Bio-geographical analysis)

  • Its potential distribution and identification of invasion hotspots (Species Distribution Modelling)
