Abstract Globally, soil erosion transports a significant amount of carbon (C), but the magnitude erosion‐associated loss organic (SOC) from India is poorly quantified. The present study quantified C flux induced by accelerated for different states where most critical form land degradation. lateral transport eroded was estimated individual Indian using spatially referenced data rates that were assessed universal equation (USLE) applied to information about 1649 association units and their SOC...

Though soil erosion is a natural phenomenon, the rate of has been increased 10 to 100 times because land conversion (e.g.land from forest agriculture) and management (overgrazing, expansion cultivation).However, behind this transformation some, socio-cultural policy decision acts as drivers.Ancient humans had good knowledge prevent through terracing even 4000 years ago.The decline civilizations closely linked with degradation their resources particularly deforestation, accelerated crop...

Abstract. Although intensive agriculture is necessary to sustain the world's growing population, accelerated soil erosion contributes a decrease in environmental health of ecosystems at local, regional and global scales. Reversing process land degradation using vegetative measures utmost importance such ecosystems. The present study critically analyzes effect grasses reversing systematic review. collected information was segregated under three different use management situations....

This communication presents experimental research findings on the application of flower pollination algorithm (FPA) and African buffalo optimization (ABO) to implement complex fairly popular benchmark Dejong 5 function.The study aims unravel untapped potential FPA ABO in providing good solutions problems.In addition, it explores function with hope attracting attention community evaluate capacity two comparative algorithms as well function.We conclude from this that implementing for solving...

The article presents biomass and carbon stock for Ailanthus excelsa plantation in Dehradun Forest Division, Uttarakhand, India. Destructive sampling was used to calculate the content of A. Biomass Expansion Factor (BEF) also developed species. total calculated as 126.07 t ha-1 with above ground (AGB) 102.96 below (BGB) 23.11 ha-1. Carbon excels 58.52 i.e. 48.3 AGB 10.22 BGB soil organic (SOC) 46.27 Total (t ha-1) different tree components were order: 40.27 (bole)>10.22 (root)>5.36...

Abstract. The present study critically analyzes the effect of grasses in reversing process land degradation using a systematic review. collected information was segregated under three different use and management situations. Meta-analysis applied to test hypothesis that reduce runoff soil erosion. Effect deduced for grass strip combination with physical structures. Similarly, effects were analyzed degraded pasture lands. overall result meta-analysis showed infiltration capacity increased...

Solid waste poses a major threat to the environment, aesthetics, and human health which also includes spread of various communicable diseases. Due rapid industrialization, urbanization, uncontrolled population growth, India is witnessing an unresolved problem in terms solid management (SWM). The appropriate execution SWM can play pivotal role achieving sustainable development highlighted many global agendas, visions, charters. A may help achieve some United Nations’ Sustainable Development...

The article presents biomass carbon stock for an Ailanthus excelsa plantation in Dehradun Forest Division, Uttarakhand, India. Destructive sampling was used to calculate the of A. and undergrowth vegetation (shrubs herbs); volumetric equations were estimating associated tree species. total calculated as 126.07 t ha-1 with above ground (AGB) 102.96 below (BGB) 23.11 ha-1. two species estimated 43.91 (AGB 34.01 BGB 9.9 ha-1). shrub herb 1.62 0.98 ha-1, respectively. Litter whole ecosystem...

The present study was conducted in Shorea robusta (sal), Pinus roxburghii (Chir pine), Tectona grandis (Teak) and Ailanthus excelsa (Ardu) plantations of different ages at sites Uttarakhand. Biomass calculated on the basis complete tree harvesting method (stratified mean technique method). Expansion Factor (BEF) root-to-shoot ratio (R) all these 4 species have been presented this paper. Sample trees S. were 45, 53 60 years age. BEF for 3 age series assessed as 1.3 45 years, 1.4 1.2...

A detailed ecological analysis of woody species the Chaupal Forest Division, Himachal Pradesh, was carried out at five sites under different altitudes and aspects. The study revealed that total basal area covers forests varied between 0.093 m2/ha (Alnus nepalensis) Site-IV whereas 46.682 Site-V (Cedrus deodara). distribution pattern found regular, random contagious. Species diversity index maximum 1.595 minimum 0.574 Site-I richness highest 9 (Site-V) lowest 2 (Sites -I II).

Forest ecosystems are facing the risk of degradation mainly due to habitat fragmentation and human activities. Forests life supporting systems beings. Restoration tropical forest is a critical task in present era as fires major issues for degradation. important reverse ecosystems. Globally, 2 billion ha land have been identified restoration forest. Deforestation accounts 60% emission carbon back into atmosphere which sequestered by ecosystem. forests large biodiversity pools sinks, this...
