The opencast mining has resulted to destruction of habitats, particularly for ground flora species, which is essential for maintaining nutrient cycling and ecological balance. The ground flora species are themselves capable of modifying site conditions to some extent. The floristic composition and luxuriance of ground flora in degraded ecosystem are largely dependent upon the secondary site conditions. In the present study, attempts have been made to assess the floristic composition and biomass accumulation of ground flora in age series of OB dump plantations and plain plantations of opencast mined out projects of NCL Singrauli. The frequently occurring ground flora species among different reclaimed sites were Ageratum conyzoides L., Hyptis suaveolens (L.) Poit., Tridex procumbens L., Alternanthera sessilis (L.) R.Br.ex DC., Desmodium triflorum (L.) DC., Justicia simplex D.Don., Sida cordifolia L., Achyranthes aspera L., Cassia tora L., Tephrosia purporea (L.) Pers., Euphorbia hirta L., Atylosia scarabaeoides (L.) Benth., Oplismenus burmanii (Retz.) P.Beauv., Eragrotis tenella (L.) P.Beauv. ex Roem. & Schult., Imperata cylindrical (L.) P.Beauv., Heteropogon contortus (L.) P. Beauv. ex Roem. & Schult., Bothriochloa purtusa (L.) A. Camus., Apluta mutica L., etc. In general, the biomass was found to show the increasing trend with the advancement of age of plantations. The diversity index values are falling in the middle range which indicates ambiguous distribution between all the species. The maximum and minimum values of total biomass varied from 0.339 tonnes per ha. (2 year old plantation of Dudhichua) to 1.993 tonnes/ha (16 year old plantation of Amlohri). The value of carbon content in ground flora was found to be varied from 0.169 tonnes per ha. (2 year old plantation of Dudhichua) to 0.997 tonnes/ha (16 year old plantation of Amlohri).
