The utilization of plants and plant resources for various ethnobotanical purposes is a common practice in local towns villages developing countries, especially regard to human veterinary healthcare. For this reason, it important unveil document ethnomedicinal their traditional/folk usage livestock healthcare from unexplored areas. Here we advance our findings on Haripur District, Pakistan, not only conservation purposes, but also further pharmacological screenings applied...
Introduction: Indigenous people in a far-flung mountainous area without basic facilities, mainly rely on medicinal plants to cope with various veterinary health problems. Objective: The present study was carried out explore the traditional knowledge of ethnoveterinary practices Kaghan Valley, district Mansehra, Western Himalayas-Pakistan. Method: Ethnoveterinary data were collected between February October 2014 from nine villages Valley by involving 80 local include healers using...
Abstract Moso bamboo expansions into Japanese cedar forests are common. The expansion effects on soil nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions have not been thoroughly understood, and the underlying microbial mechanisms remain unclear. We studied bacterial fungal contribution to N2O under moso or by applying inhibitors using streptomycin iprodione, respectively. Soil were measured relative of bacteria fungi was calculated. emission from with significantly higher than cedar. Compared control, inhibitor...
Plant invasions affect biodiversity and seriously endanger the stability of ecosystems. Invasive plants show strong adaptability growth advantages but are influenced by various factors. Soil bacteria fungi critical to plant important factors affecting invasions. also soil N 2 O emissions, effects invasive from different population origins on emissions their microbial mechanisms not clear. In this experiment, we grew Triadica sebifera native (China) (USA) populations with or without bacterial...
Abstract Litter decomposition impacts carbon (C) and nutrient cycling. Nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) addition as well litter age impact decomposition. Effects of on may emissions soil nitrous oxide (N2O), which is an important greenhouse gas. However, no study has examined the effects interactions between N2O emissions, explored underlining mechanisms simultaneously, thus limiting our evaluation emissions. with different was collected from Cunninghamia lanceolata plantations experienced N P...
Abstract Medicinal plants are the primary sources of healthcare among people developing countries in villages and local towns. Documenting reporting traditional knowledge medicinal may contribute to pharmaceutical research development. For this reason, we present our findings on ethnomedicinal from Lingchuan County, Shanxi, China, an unexplored area rich plant resources. Information were collected through questionnaire/semi-structured interviews 180 informants, including healers. Field...
Intensive management of C. oleifera has produced many pure plantations. The transmission plantation will potentially affect soil C, N, and P pools as well their stoichiometric characteristics both in top layer vertical profile due to the intensive management. To understand changes affected by plantations, mixed plantations were studied. We conducted studies five locations Jiangxi, China with compare stoichiometry P. Both C N significantly different between types oleifera. However, ratio C:N,...
The current study was performed to evaluate the ethnobotanical uses of medicinal plants treat and prevent kidney diseases, especially urolithiasis in Abbottabad region, Northern Pakistan. Field surveys were conducted from 2014–2016 various rural tribally dwelled hilly areas like Ayubia National Park, Sherwan Thandiani. Ethnobotanical information about employed urinary ailments obtained well-informed sources local healers (hakims) residents (men/women), who had vast knowledge uses....
Abstract Agro-morphological characterizations offer robust and vigorous means for the precise characterization of germplasm to be used in breeding programs. Here, agro-morphological features-based analyses were considered figure out genetic variability within 99 maize accessions five (5) check varieties including Azam, W. Islamabad, Haq Nawaz, Ev-5 Evr197. A total 28 important traits accounted field trails at Hazara University Mansehra Pakistan, during spring 2015. The maximum variation was...
Abstract BackgroundLingchuan County is the main producing area of Chinese medicinal materials in Shanxi Province, rich plant resources. The aboriginal residents Lingchuan have certain traditional knowledge and experience use plants can effectively to treat common diseases. MethodologyA field survey 53 villages was carried out over one year, i.e., November 2017—August 2018. Ethnomedicinal data collected through designed questionaries/interviews by involving 180 informants familiar with...
