Abstract
Twenty stands from 4 localities voz,
gharo, dhabeji, shujaabad and manghupir industrial areas were sampled quantitatively and the soil samples from various stands were analysed physically and chemically. Using dis-similarly matrix of species composition a three-dimensional phytosociological ordination was constructed. The three=dimensional environmental ordination was constructed on the basis of integrated
response to various soil factors. Thus the moisture gradient , calcicolous gradient and silt-clay gradient served as the axes of the ordination. The studt of the
spatial pattern of 10 important species in the phytosociological as well as environmental ordination showed that no two species were identically distributed and each species followed a more or less continuous distribution pattern. A three-dimensional species
