In recent decades, carbon (C) management is an important point on the agenda to identify best viable mitigation strategies for its reduction. The study was conducted at Jaldapara National Park located in Eastern Himalayan region of India. quantified litter production, decomposition, periodic nutrient release, soil fertility status, and organic (SOC) five major forest stands i.e., Tectona grandis (TGDS), Shorea robusta (SRDS), Michelia champaca (MCDS), Lagerstroemia parviflora (LPDS)...
Estimating carbon footprint of forest operations is essential to budget the environmental impacts industry. The study objectives were a) assess whole-tree (WT), cut-to-length (CTL), and hybrid (Hyb CTL) harvesting methods in Northeastern US; b) global warming potential various processes involved timber for different harvest methods; c) evaluate variation summer winter harvest. SimaPro 9.3.0.3 software allied databases (USLCI US-EI 2.2) adhering ISO 14,040 14,044 standards used cradle-to-gate...
Abstract Background Stevia rebaudiana is an economically important medicinal plant that has generated interest among the growers and pharmacologists in terms of its industrial or pharmaceutical value. For mass production seedlings, easy convenient techniques are lacking while, micro propagation was reported promising but still out reach at farm level. The unavailability quality planting materials due to non-viable seeds restricting commercial scale cultivation. present study therefore...
Urban green spaces are effective extension of carbon sinks in human dominant landscapes to supplement climate change mitigation. There have been several studies on the environmental effects urbanization, but few services offered by urban areas. The current research took place at four sites Cooch Behar, West Bengal, India, which is situated Eastern Himalayas. biomass, primary nutrients, and stock, as well fractions, were recorded study. used stratified random quadrate sampling with line...
Parks and other green sites improve urban avenue environment while also crucial to mitigate climate change. Indian cities are now experiencing high level of pollutions, so trees not only act as carbon sinks but assist in improving the quality life. Cooch Behar town located northern part West Bengal is upsurge development population increase. Therefore community parks an institutional campus were assessed for their species richness ecosystem services they provide. A total 75 represented by 39...
Nine fungicides, one antibiotic and four herbicides including both systemic non were screened against Rhizoctonia solani f.sp. sasakii Exner (Thanatephorus (Shirai) Tu Kimbrough causing Banded Leaf Sheath Blight (BLSB) in maize. All the 27 isolates of R. from maize rice found to be highly sensitive fungicides propiconazole, hexaconazole, tebuconazole carbendazim which showed cent % mycelial inhibition followed by new molecules i.e. cabriotop, metiram pyraclostrobin at recommended half...
Under Paris Agreement on Climate Change India has pledged for creating an additional 2.5 to 3 billion tons of CO 2 equivalent by 2030. In this context strengthening traditional agro-forestry and homestead garden systems practically spread all over would be important carbon sinks. International Compliance as well Voluntary Carbon Markets provides excellent opportunities incentivize the local communities getting credits from plantations. present study a total 45 gardens three villages in...
An updated checklist of the birds Kerala Agricultural University main campus is presented here. The current includes 172 species in 60 families and 17 orders. avifauna two Western Ghats endemic three globally threatened species. also supports 11 included Schedule I Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 16 that are listed Appendix II Convention on International Trade Endangered Species Flora Fauna (CITES).

Wood biomass from forest is the major source of domestic energy in most developing countries.The present study was an attempt to document information on wood collection, consumption and species used for needs by residents both rural urban villages Ranchi district Jharkhand state, India different seasons round year.Wood fuel area which mainly collected forests or non-forest lands purchased.The need also supplemented coal localities.The areas increases during winter gradually decreases rainy...
It has been noticed that Saraca asoca (Roxb. de Wilde) populations are drastically declining in the wild. Conserving such is crucial because of numerous ecological, cultural, and economic values. The purpose our study was to determine if germination seedling growth could be improved for globally vulnerable Ashoka populations. analyzed effect various hydro, mechanical, chemical pre-sowing treatments on one-year seedlings. Our results demonstrated mechanical (exposing seed cotyledons) soaking...
Background: In recent times the micro nutrients were reported to influence crop growth and productivity. Among them zinc is a vital micronutrient for plants, humans animals. However, use efficiency mainly depends on methods of fertilization. Although there are many ways deliver crops such as soil application, foliar sprays, fertigation, seed priming root dipping, etc. The right method proportion apply fertilizer in southern Odisha not yet standardized. Hence, present investigation was...
