In the current era of global warming, the Himalayan forests are under tremendous pressure due to intensified anthropogenic activity, resulting in the loss of forest diversity. However, the potential of carbon (C) sinks for increasing carbon storage and/or sequestration is still uncertain....

The study examined the spatial pattern of tree diversity, their population structure, regeneration status, and impacts of ecological disturbances on forest structure in 412 forested grids in tropical deciduous forests of Central India using the belt transect method. The study recorded a total of...

Chir pine (Pinus roxburghii, Sarg.) forests are dominant in the Indian Himalayan region and act as a huge carbon (C) sink. However, measuring the C sink in soil is complex and time-intensive, and therefore the present study attempts to estimate the soil organic carbon (SOC) through a remote sensing ...

Agroforestry is an age-old practice in Assam, the Northeastern state of India. But the documentation of such traditional practices is very meagre. Assam has six agro-ecological zones. This paper attempts to present the different types of traditional agroforestry systems practiced in North bank...

Understating of forest functioning is crucial for ensuring the sustainable flow of forest ecosystem services. Climate regulation service of a forest ecosystem can be ensured through emission reduction by increasing carbon sequestration in forests. However, understanding about the functioning of...

The estimation of carbon stock in agroforestry is crucial for curbing the global climate crisis. In this study, biomass production and carbon storage potential of the prevalent agroforestry systems along an altitudinal gradient in the Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh was carried out during...

In this correspondence, a study was conducted to analyse coppicing ability and impact of stump diameter on coppicing behaviour in Melia dubia. A total of 45 trees, six years of age, were randomly felled at about 6-12 cm above ground level. The stump-bearing coppices were categorized into three...

In Assam, a north-eastern state of India, most of the traditional agroforestry systems are still practised. The plant species composition of three agroforestry systems namely homegardens tea gardens and agrisilvicultural systems, were assessed using quadrat method. A total of 516 plant species...
