Abstract

The present communication deals with the primary productivity of four wetlands namely, Sohola, Kawoimari, Borbeel and Jamuguri of Kaziranga National park, Assam. The study revealed higher rate of gross primary productivity and net primary productivity during winter season followed by post monsoon and pre monsoon season. The productivity values suggested that the wetlands are at properly functional state having adequate trophic status at the producer level and can support appropriate consumer population.
