The impact of climate change on the distribution of species of the single cycad genus Cycas L. of the family Cycadaceae
in Kerala can be assessed by forecasting the habitat suitability of these species. It will aid in conservation efforts as they
are endangered. The current study aimed to predict the current, future and paleoclimatic distribution...
Carbon stock options to mitigate climate change have become a significant area of interest as every possible way to address this global issue is being explored. Afforestation and ecosystem restoration activities are widely adopted to improve the potential of the land in carbon storage. The Kerala State Action Plan on Climate Change proposed the ‘Tr...
Cycas L. is an economically important threatened genus at risk of extinction due to natural population degradation. The present study observed unexplored populations in the Kannur district, Kerala, India, including the Kannavam Forest Reserve (KF) during 2021-2023. The normality of the datasets was checked using the Anderson-Darling test in R using...
Prerequisite knowledge of the ecosystem is indeed to achieve effective
conservation of biodiversity in the Western Ghats. Phytosociological,
economical, and ethnobotanical studies may help us understand better the
local environment and its current status. From a conservational point of
view, such knowledge would help to develop conservation str...
The research focussed on the analysis of thirteen soil parameters, including pH, Soil Organic Matter (SOM), Organic Carbon (TOC), Total Nitrogen (N), Available Phosphorus (Av.P), Exchangeable Potassium (Ex.Potassium), Exchangeable Sodium (Ex.Sodium), Exchangeable Calcium (Ex.Calcium), Exchangeable Magnesium (Ex.Magnesium), Available Copper (Av.Cu),...
Endemism centres are the cradle of rich biodiversity around the globe. Surprisingly, a significant proportion of protected areas are not concordant with endemic hotspots. Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve is the largest continuous protected area in the Western Ghats. Due to the high endemism and species richness, it is a hotspot for rich flora and fauna. I...
The present study examined the significance of potential trends in rainfall, temperature, and relative humidity across Peechi-Vazhani Wildlife Sanctuary of Kerala state, on a monthly, seasonal, and annual basis. The data of 30 years (1988-2017) were processed to check out the climatic variability using the non-parametric Mann-Kendall test and Sen's...

Hi,
I came across the ENMToolpackage where I read about background tests. What is this background points used as an input file for the analysis?
Regards.
Hi,
I need to calculate the abundance of a single species from the occurrence data collected from the field. It is not possible to record every GPS co-ordinates for the species in an area more than 250 square kilometres. Is there any apt method to estimate abundance, like random replacement model?
Hi, I need to know the abundance of a particular plant species in a village. Though roads and rivers are included, how accurate will be our samples from transects or quadrats? Which is the apt method for the study? Is it possible to use both methods for the same area and study?
Hi, I need to report a plant species from an unexplored location. The plant falls under IUCN threatened category. The plant has geoprivacy as it is threatened. How can I report the same by obeying the conservation rules?
