Recent declines in large herbivores have led to significant conservation efforts globally. However, the niche-specific megaherbivores residing outside protected areas face more imminent extinction threats. Swamp deer, obligate grassland-dwelling endemic cervid is most extinction-prone megaherbivore Indian subcontinent. Limited information on distribution and habitat status pose management challenges for remaining fragmented populations north, north-east central India. To this end, we...
Summary Grassland habitats currently face severe anthropogenic exploitation, thereby affecting the survival of grassland-dependent biodiversity globally. The biodiversity-rich grasslands India lack quantitative spatiotemporal information on their status. We evaluated status upper Gangetic Plains in 2015 and compared it with those from 1985, 1995 2005. On-ground mapping visual classifications revealed a 57% decline these between 1985 (418 km 2 ) (178 ), mostly driven by habitat conversion...
Background: The current study primarily focused on documentation and identification of ethno-botanical plants utilized by local inhabitants in sacred groves the Kumaon Himalayas. These are traditionally used indigenous communities region to treat various ailments. Methods: present is based extensive frequent field surveys conducted respondents were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire group discussions. Microsoft Excel was for analysis collected data. Results: A total 70 plant...
This work focuses on the effect of dissimilarity mass flow rate (m � f ) energy metrics double slope (DS) solar energy-based water purifier (SEBWP) by incorporating N equal partially covered photovoltaic thermal (PVT) compound parabolic concentrating collectors (NPVT-CPCs) having series connection keeping depth as 0.14 m.All four kinds weather conditions for New Delhi have been taken computation different parameters.The equations obtained parameters after solving balance all components...
Abstract Grassland habitats currently face severe anthropogenic exploitations leading to cascading effects on the survival of grassland-dependent biodiversity globally, particularly in non-protected areas. Significant amount such biodiversity-rich grasslands India are found outside protected areas but lack quantitative information their status. We evaluated current and historical (30 years) status using a combination intensive field surveys GIS tools across one most fertile, human-dominated...
