Abstract Due to extensive root system, connected rhizome bamboos are considered suitable for improving soil properties within a short period, though most of the claims anecdotal and need be supported with quantified data. The study evaluates seven bamboo species viz., Bambusa balcooa, bambos, vulgaris, nutans, Dendrocalamus hamiltonii, stocksii strictus their rooting pattern impact on health properties. Coarse fine intensity was maximum in B. vulgaris . biomass ranged from 0.6 kg m −3 nutans...
One of the main issues influencing quality soil and agricultural productivity is land degradation. In degraded lands, crop cultivation not sustainable without adopting resource conservation practices. Agroforestry systems that incorporate canopy management practices have potential to significantly contribute restoration by preserving natural resources. We hypothesized restoring through a combination tree planting, shade-loving cultivation, management, practice could result in significant...
<title>Abstract</title> Agroforestry systems play a critical role in enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) stability and mitigating climate change by integrating trees crops to improve fertility sequestration. This study investigates the SOC stability, aggregate dynamics, temperature sensitivity of mineralization across four agroforestry (<italic>Michelia oblonga, Parkia roxburghii, Alnus nepalensis</italic>, <italic>Pinus kesiya</italic>). Tree traits, properties, characteristics were...
In India, the per capita availability of water is projected to be 1465 m3 and 1235 by years 2025 2050, respectively, hence, India would a water-stressed country as United Nations’ standard less than 1700 availability. predominantly an agricultural-dominant country. Rainfed agriculture in contributes 40% food grain production supports half human population two-thirds livestock population. The has 15 different agro-climatic zones, each region its own constraints management along with potential...
Abstract The rapid growth rate, high biomass production, and annual harvesting make bamboo a suitable species for commercial production. Allometric equations many broadleaf conifer tree are available. However, knowledge of production allometric bamboos is limited. This study aims to develop species- specific models predicting synthetic height values as proxy variable seven in Himalayan foothills. Two power form-based were used predict aboveground culm using diameter at breast (D) alone D...
In the north-eastern regions of India, shifting cultivation is traditional and a dominant land use practice, leading to heavy soil erosion severe degradation biodiversity. Agroforestry systems (AFS), which have great potential for crop livestock production, are best alternative overcome adverse effects cultivation. an ecologically based, natural resource management system that sustains production benefits all those who by integrating trees on farms in agricultural landscape. addition timber,...
