We examined the recruitment, survival, mortality, growth, and development of Rhododendron arboreum Smith, one of the important Non-Timber forest Product species (NTFPs). Ten permanent plots (10 x 10 m 2) were created in four sites of mixed broad-leaved temperate forests of Garhwal Himalaya. We measured seedling shoot length and collar diameter at t...
Studies to assess carbon stocks and their potential for implementation of
REDD and REDD+ projects and policies have been conducted by
scientists, academicians and policy makers all over the world. The present
study reports estimates of carbon pools and fluxes in forests of all Indian
states and Union Territories since 2003 to 2017. To estimate the...
The present study was conducted to estimate soil carbon stock in various Land-use systems viz., grassland, pine forest, apple orchard and walnut orchard in the Shopian district of Kashmir valley. Soil sampling was done by nested plot design method. Soil organic carbon was measured at two depths (0-30 cm and 30-60 cm). A total of 24 soil samples fro...
One of the parameters for terrestrial biomass estimation is specific gravity of the woody species. Present study reports wood specific gravity of 26 species. Maximum moisture content method was used to calculate specific gravity. Specific gravity of eight species (8) was found between 0.71-0.80, seven species between (0.61-0.70) and specific gravit...
The present study was carried out in the Dhasoli block of district Chamoli, in Garhwal Himalaya of Uttarakhand. The aim of the study was to document the cultural and indigenous knowledge of plant resources for health care management practices among the inhabitants of remote areas of Himalaya. Questionnaire and field visits were used for data collec...
The present study was carried out to assess the economic viability of Angelica glauca. Cost-benefit ratio tool was used to assess the net benefit that could lure the local farm community to bring this important species in farm cultivation and thus promote the ex-situ conservation of species. To observe the economic yield of plants, underground part...
In present study, distance independent and indirect indices for identification and assessment of competition and facilitation between species of the Indian temperate forest ecosystem have been developed. We found broken stick rank/abundance model. Humpback relationship was obtained between Importance Value Index and Total Biomass Cover. Based on pr...
p class="default0">Rhododendron is a very widely distributed genus, occurring throughout most of the Northern Hemisphere except for dry areas, and extending into the Southern Hemisphere in southeastern Asia and northern Asia with 1200 species. In India, Rhododendrons are represented by 80 species with 10 subspecies and 14 varieties most of which ar...
The present study was carried out to understand the fuelwood resource use pattern by semi-nomadic pastoralist community (Van Gujjar) and adjacent villagers in and around Corbett Tiger Reserve, Uttarakhand, India. A total of nineteen settlements of Van Gujjars and fourteen adjacent villages were surveyed. Overall average fuelwood consumption of Van...
Angelica glauca (Apiaceae), endemic to the Himalaya, is a critically endangered medicinal herb for which, beside in situ conservation, ex situ cultivation is recommended to overcome poor seed germination that limits natural reproduction in the species the present study was conducted to examine; (i) the effect different growing media on seed germina...
The State of Uttarakhand occupies a special place in participatory management of common natural forest resources because of its Van Panchayat system. This article indicates that the rules and regulations devised by the Van Panchayat Village Committee for the management of forests are unique from one Van Panchayat to another. The study also examines...
The present research work was carried out to study the effect of plant density
and organic biofertiliser on the growth and yield of Angelica glauca. The
experiment was laid in randomized block design for spacing and factorial design
for biofertiliser effect. Spacing maintained as per treatments between rows and
plants were 30 x 30cm (S1), 30 x 45cm...
Species richness, diversity and distribution pattern of tree species were studied along a disturbance gradient in three mixed broad leaved forests. The forests were selected on the basis of varying disturbance intensities and were categorized into highly disturbed (HD), moderately disturbed (MD) and least disturbed (LD). A total of 34 tree species...
The present study was carried out in a Community Conserved Forest
Area (Van Panchyat) dedicated to local deity in Rudraprayag district
of Garhwal Himalaya to estimate biomass and carbon stock. The
forest was dominated by Quercus floribunda and other associated
tree species were Aesculus indica, Alnus nepalensis, Persea duthiei
and Lyonia ovalifolia...
The traditional agroforestry land use system in Indian Himalayan region is an integral part of the
society and local environment as in that the crops, animal husbandry and forests constitute interlinked systems.
But due to variety of factors the land use under traditional crops is changing very fast in a part of Indian
Himalayan region. The present...
Allelopathic effect of aqueous leaf extract of three different species (eucalyptus, guava, and litchi) were used to investigate their effect on germination, shoot and root lengths of two food crops viz. Zea mays L. (Maize) and Triticum aestivum (Wheat). Mature fresh leaves of three species were crushed and soaked for 24h; the filtrates were diluted...
Forests often store carbon at rates well below their potential and thus could be responsive to the management of enhanced carbon sequestration. The present study was carried out in Duggada area of Garhwal Himalaya to assess tree biomass and total carbon density. The dominant tree species were found Salix tetraseprma, Toona hexandra, Emblica-1 offic...
Soil-based agriculture is facing some major challenges with the advent of civilization all over the world, such as decrease per capita land availability. Apart from this, due to rapid urbanization and industrialization as well as threats from climate change and its related adverse effect, the land cultivation is going to further facing challenging...

The present study was conducted along and away from riverine vegetation of Khoh river near Duggada area of district Pauri of Garhwal Himalaya. The aim of the study was to assess the physical and chemical properties of soil. Soil samples were collected from two sites and analyzed for texture, pH, organic matter, water holding capacity, soil organic...
The estimation of carbon density of high altitude forests was carried out at fi ve different sites along an elevational gradient from 1550 m to 3550 m in a part of Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary, which is one of the largest protected areas of the Garhwal Himalaya, India. Among the study sites the above ground biomass density (AGBD) ranged from 202.72...
This paper describes the regeneration status of trees along and away from riverian vegetation of Khoh river area of District Pauri in Garhwal Himalaya. Two sites were studied to examine regeneration status/pattern along the river and away from the river area. Seedling (1129.15 seedlings ha-1), sapling (1010.01seedlings ha-1) and tree density (660 t...
The present study was carried out along the Khoh river of Garhwal Himalaya with the aim to assess the species composition and diversity of plant species between the forest vegetation along the river and the forest, which was away from the river. Vegetational analysis was carried out by quadrat sampling method and a total of 30 quadrates along the r...
