The present study is an attempt to assess the
spatial variability and the changes in the population of
Prosopis cineraia (khejri) trees in the agroforestry systems
of arid part of western Rajasthan. This tree is regarded as
an important natural resource for the rural livelihood of
desert dwellers because of its multifarious uses. The tree
populations were mapped in a geographical information
system using available information from aerial photographs,
google earth images and IRS-LISS-III satellite
images to compare their populations between the past and
the very recent period. Mapping carried out in a part of
Nagaur district in western part of Rajasthan, indicated
increase in khejri trees in the region in 2013–2014 compared
to 1960s. The number and tree density were higher
under irrigated croplands than under rainfed. Increase in
rainfall, multiple uses of the tree, societal and scientific
support are the key reasons for the observed changes in
their population
