Due to mining activities a great loss of vegetation is inevitable. Eastern coal field areas, Rajmahal coal block of ECL has been selected for the present investigation. The selected site divided into two zones i.e. core zone (mining lease area) and buffer zone (10km radius from mining lease area). Altogether,102 angiospermic plants of diverse nature were found to grow in core and peripheral zone. Out of 102, only 6 plant viz. Croton bonplandianum, Melia azedarach, Phoenix sylvestris, Cassia occidentalis, Calotropis gigantea and Vitex negundo were recorded in both core and peripheral zone. Herbaceous plants were more in the core zone than peripheral zone due to settlement of new soil with changed microbial niche.
