Present study analyzed the population structure and regeneration status of nine selected tree species in eight tropical dry deciduous forest of in the lateritic zone of West Bengal. All the selected species were not recorded from the eight sites. Highest number of species was recorded at Ballavpur (8) and lowest at Garh Joypur (1). The overall structure of the eight forests comprises of 15.82% seedlings, 59.35% saplings and 24.82% adult trees. The highest percentage (61.02%) of trees within a site was found at Garh Joypur forest and the lowest (10.78%) at Ganpur forest. Seedling, sapling and tree densities of different species differed significantly with sites. Regeneration was better at the Ganpur forest with its high density of seedlings (3290/ ha) and saplings (15900/ha). The forests were dominated by small sized trees in all the eight sites and exhibited reverse J shaped diameter density distribution.
