The present paper describes the impact of disturbance on the structural diversity of the plant community present in the Nanta forest area, Kota district, Rajasthan. Two sites (protected vegetation site and non-protected site) were selected for comparison of the disturbances. It was observed that the non-protected site has higher levels of disturbances that affect the vegetational structure of the forest. A higher level of disturbances in the non-protected vegetation site has resulted in lower species richness, density, and basal area in comparison to protected vegetation sites. The disturbance factors observed at the nonprotected site are overgrazing, cutting, and clearing forest for pathways etc, whereas in the protected site presence of stumps of trees / mutilated plants has been noticed. Disturbance level in the nonprotective site is 100%, whereas a 28.57% disturbance level was calculated in the protective site. In terms of diversity and distribution, the protected site is richer in diversity, but in the non-protected sites diversity index is low, specifying the poor state of species diversity and higher levels of disturbances.
