Heavy metals are among the important environmental pollutants, yet their impact in remote areas remains underexplored because of limited studies on their monitoring. This study presents the first dendrochemical analysis from Mizoram, using Magnolia champaca tree rings to assess heavy metal concentration trends at a natural forest site (Site-I) and...
There are growing evidences that indicate the Himalayan region is warming rapidly with more warming in high elevation areas. The elevation-dependent warming (EDW) accelerates the rate of change in mountain ecosystems, including cryosphere, hydrology, biodiversity and socio-economic systems. Here, we present temperature lapse rates (TLRs) based on p...
The annual tree rings are used to reconstruct the history of the past climate and the impact of climatic and environmental changes on tree growth. Several conifer and broad leaf tree species (e,g. Abies densa, Larix griffithiana, Pinus merkusii, P. kesiya, P. wallichiana, Quercus serrata, Toona ciliata, and Tectona grandis) have been used for diver...
Agroforestry (AF) is a popular farming technique and a perfect scientific approach that can help to manage resources sustainably and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Using an agroforestry system (AFS) greatly increases Soil organic carbon (SOC), and in many cases, it also enhances farm diversity, microclimate, and many other factors. This hap...
Many tropical trees show distinct annual ring formation as in temperate conifers, and the growth of these annual rings is used as bio-indicators of environmental changes. Dendroclimatology is the science dealing with the reconstruction of a history of past climate through dendrochronological (tree ring) analysis and assessing the effect of climatic...
The government of India has been undertaking various programs for the socioeconomic upliftment of tribals for the improvements in various indicators related to food, health, literacy, livelihood. However, there is a large gap in the human development indices between the general and tribal populations. NTFPs are getting global recognition by providi...
Southern India (SI) is bestowed with several threatened and near threatened (TNT) underutilized edible fruit species (UEFS) that contributes to food and nutritional security, particularly to the indigenous people. Unfortunately, information related to these natural products is fragmentary and least researched. The PRISMA Protocol was used to conduc...
The Government of India is promoting natural farming (NF) which is evolved from our ancient heritage and traditional cultivation practices. Though NF has many advantages, it is facing several challenges like low yield in initial years, expecting high outputs from low cost of cultivation, lack of local cultivars and livestock, less availability of t...
This study provides a concise overview of the significance of tree rings as a valuable tool in evaluating historical and spatiotemporal trends related to ecological contaminants and climate change. Tree rings, serving as natural archives, offer a unique perspective on environmental changes by capturing a wealth of information within their annual gr...
The rapid increase in global urbanization and industrialization, driven by population growth, has led to a corresponding rise in urban pollution, posing significant challenges for urban green management and pollutant control. Poor industrial management and urbanization contribute to the release of effluents, elevating the threat of heavy metal accu...
Woodfordia fruticosa (Dhawai) is an important medicinal gregarious woody shrub having potential for commercial cultivation due to its great demand in domestic and international markets. Usually, this multipurpose medicinal plant is sexually propagated which do not produce healthy and uniform seedlings due to tiny and micro-biotic nature of seed, lo...
