Table 1

Disturbance status of three distance sites in the study area.

Sites	Distances	Elements of disturbance	Severity	Other anthropogenic disturbances
Site-1	Adjacent to industries	Industrial development, infrastructure of roads, boundary, buildings, clearing forest species, plantation of exotic species, waste discharge channel, dumping site	High	Forest resources destruction, logging, lopping, regeneration destruction, litter sweeping, soil disturbance
Site-2	160 m distance to industry	Labor settlement, minor road, stall, waste dumping, cleaning forest floor, lopping, loss of native species	Medium	Forest resources destruction, logging, regeneration destruction, litter sweeping, soil disturbance
Site-3	320 m distance from industry	Litter sweeping, human gathering	Less	Leaves collection, logging
