Indigenous plant use-systems have evolved under, and constantly adapted to human non-human impacts. In the last decades however, increasing socioeconomic cultural transformations, including land-use change, outmigration, globalized markets, introduction of new species, climate change led a decreasing availability indigenous resources, are ultimately leading reduction local use-knowledge. Participant observations, discussions, walks-in-the-woods, semi-structured interviews informal meetings...

<ja:p> Roxb., commonly known as rosewood, is one of the highly valuable tropical timber species Nepal. The tree was widely distributed in past, however, over-exploitation natural habitat, deforestation, forest conversion for agriculture, illegal logging and invasion alien resulted classification this vulnerable by IUCN (International Union Conservation Nature) category. So, prediction habitat suitability potential distribution required to develop restoration mechanisms conservation...

Soil C sequestration through enhanced land use is a good strategy to mitigate the increasing concentration of atmospheric CO2. A study was conducted in Chhatiwan VDC Makawanpur District compare soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks four main types such as forest, degraded Khet and Bari land. Stratified random sampling method used for collecting samples. Organic content determined by Walkley Black method. Total SOC stock different followed order: Forest (110.0 t ha-1) &gt; (96.5 (86.8 Degraded...

Abstract. Environmental gradients affect vegetation structure and ecosystem productivity. Along the northern Australia tropical transect (NATT), which transitions from moist conditions in north to arid south, composition are closely tied rainfall patterns. We hypothesise that biotic competition abiotic stress exhibit opposing patterns along NATT gradient aim disentangle these effects on Using a trait-based dynamic model, we simulated responses varying NATT. The model successfully spatial...

Background: Global emergence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is a major public health concern. Phage therapy – application lytic phage to kill pathogenic bacteria considered as one the promising alternatives tackle this antibiotic crisis in recent days. This study aimed isolate, characterize and evaluate therapeutic efficacy novel K. mouse model.Methods: A bacteriophage (phage) Kp_Pokalde_002 was isolated against (Kp56) characterized. Safety parameters were evaluated by...

Human–wildlife conflict is a challenging issue that requires the attention of conservationists worldwide. Habitat fragmentation and encroachment reduce abundance prey species, an increase in number predators leads to higher risk with large cats such as leopards, jeopardizing conservation efforts. This study explored spatio-temporal pattern human–leopard Bardia National Park, Nepal, from 2000 2020. To analyze we used data (compensation cases filed park) buffer zone management office, Trust...

Climate change is the global concern of our sustainable development whose impact great to humanity. In Nepal, we are already starting become aware recent changes and developing mechanism adapt. A study was carried out in Bramha Thakur Community Forest User Group Makawanpur district with an objective assessing prioritizing adaptation options by local community using soil water conservation measures on climate change. Primary data were collected from direct observation, focus group discussion,...

Observers with different experience levels are involved in the measurement of large number sample plots during forest inventories, particularly national inventories. However, limited information exist on quality data produced by observers inventory after certain training. This study tries to evaluate error associated observers' initial and field-based training for measuring most fundamental variables- DBH (cm), total tree height (m), horizontal distance (m) together bearing (azimuth) from...

Personalized 3D avatars require an animatable representation of digital humans. Doing so instantly from monocular videos offers scalability to broad class users and wide-scale applications. In this paper, we present a fast, simple, yet effective method for creating humans videos. Our utilizes the efficiency Gaussian splatting model both geometry appearance. However, observed that naively optimizing splats results in inaccurate geometry, thereby leading poor animations. This work achieves...

Abstract. Bolakhe S, Ghimire P, Paudel Lamichhane U. 2024. Trees outside forest for Chure dry land conservation in Makawanpur District, Nepal. Intl J Trop Drylands 8: 106-113. (TOF) are considered as a potential strategy to meet the needs timber, fuel wood, fodder and fruits of growing population crop diversification address management problems ecological concerns. In this backdrop, study attempts explore contribution TOF Hetauda Sub-metropolitan City, Field observation, household surveys...

A study was carried out in Thulosirubari village of Chautara Sangachowkgadi municipality Sindhupalchok district, Nepal to analyse the importance TOF for immediate earthquake response and recovery. More than 80% households have trees their own land with species such as Chilaune (Schima wallichii), Kutmiro (Litsea monopetala), Khote Salla (Pinus roxburghii) Bamboo are common. Among surveyed (134), more 75% respondents reported that they used Schima wallichii pillar (Khaba) make temporary...

Abstract Volume, biomass and carbon of forest ecosystem are generally estimated using lookup tables or allometric equations known as models. These general equation-based models usually exclusively based on dimensional measurement such diameter at breast height (DBH) and/or height, which sometimes makes it difficult to judge applicability equation given condition types. It is therefore important estimate stock develop predict with stratification by categorical variables like crown cover,...

Partnership Forest Management (PFM) in Nepal was initiated to balance the supply of forest products between nearby and distant users' communities Terai region Nepal. This study Buddha Shanti analyzed financial benefits provisioning services identified socio-economic attributes influencing such benefits. A analysis carried out using user prices outlined Operational Plan on market-price-based approaches. shows that timber provided more users, while users have reaped gains from fuelwood fodder....

Tree height is one of the basic variables which used for estimation growing stock, biomass, carbon stock and site quality. Measuring tree expensive, time-consuming, error prone due to stand structure efficiency measuring instruments. Here, we try explore errors efficiencies associated with Vertex, Abney’s level, Laser Rangefinder measurement. Standing was measured using all three instruments true determined careful measurement linear tape after felling. In total 102 trees Arunkhola community...
