Subject: Genetic variability assessment of Morphometric and Economically important traits for Eucalyptus clones in Northwestern India
Keywords: Eucalyptus clones, Varianbility,Form quotient, Stem stability, Volume, Rotation
Abstract: Ten clones of eucalyptus planted at central plains of northwestern India were evaluated for growth traits, stem stability and wood volume at different age rotations. A significant amount of genetic variations were found for all morphometric traits, i.e., height, diameter at breast height (DBH), form quotient, stem stability and economic trait, i.e., volume. Notably, clone P-23 was observed best for DBH, stem stability against the winds (wind firmness), tree architecture because of low eight diameter ratio (more stem stability) and volume, whereas P-46 was found best for height with less stem taper. Important traits like height, DBH, form quotient, stem stability and volume ranged from 17.53-20.06 m, 12.58-18.23 cm, 0.356-0.423, 96.27-120.58 and 0.083-0.247 m3 at harvesting stage with 13.06%, 11.14%, 4.27% ,5.19% and 35.8% of genetic grain. High heritability (5) was recorded for tree height (70.81) and volume (63.66), while moderate for DBH (44.21).Genetic advance for height (0.40 to 2.42%) and DBH (0.40 to 1.82%) is increased substantially with the increase in the ag of the tree. Volume is highly correlated with the DBH as the scatter plot ellipse i narrowed and diagonally oriented. Volume is increased by 14.07% at compound rate of DBH as explained by bivariate fit of volume by DBH and model is highly fit (r2=0.8389). Negative effect has been observed by form quotient for volume estimation in clonal plantations of eucalypts.

Keywords: Ecosystem services, Ecological fiscal transfer, Forest, finance commission of India, Intergovernmental fiscal transfer, REDD, Sustainable Forest management, Valuation
Abstract: Ecosystem services (E.S.) are the outcome of ecosystem functions of the forests, benefitting society and their economies immensely. Accounting and Valuation of ecosystem services emanating from forests is not only necessary to get its due importance among stakeholders, but it also helps designing the environment friendly and sustainable policies. This paper approximates the E.S. worth of forests of Indian states, on the basis of different frameworks and further shows how; such valuation of E.S. of forest has been used as "evidence" in argument for ensuring equitable fiscal redistribution from the national budget to forest rich states-which is important step for "Sustainable Forest Management " and optimal land use planning at national/regional level, by this tool IFT/EFT. Further, the available data on "actual monetary dispensation to states" and resultant "forest cover change" have been used to analyze how it has led to paradigm shift towards pro-forest/environment-financial decentralization, ensuring equitable distribution of economic resources in federal setup and that has resulted in enhanced forest coverage. Beyond this, the evolved "fiscal redistribution mechanism" has also led to "default design" of a "pioneer", model of REDD plus mechanism in the Indian context, which can further incentivizes, the states for their action to regulate "deforestation and degradation of forest". A suggestion has also been made to make present EFT/IFT dispensation scheme more effective by using both principles of dispensation i.e., "Derivation" and "cost "reimbursement" in combination, which is expected to make it a more "effective" and "efficient" model of REDD, ensuring equitable and efficient Forest/Environmental conservation.

Keywords: Mitigation hierarchy,Valuing trees, Ecosystem services, Transplantation, Substitution
Abstract: Public trees such as those along highways, roads, canals an in urban green spaces play a vital role in making built-in environment livable. What is the conservation status accorded to these trees? The priority revealed that the state laws are designed to protect the trees from the actions of individuals but not from state projects that are emerging as the biggest threat. The study recommends the need to formulate a national law that stipulates a mitigation hierarchy of avoidance, reduction and offsetting. For offsetting, it suggests a cost-based approach and developing a formula for assessing the value of the trees. The findings of this study will be relevance to the global south that is rapidly urbanizing, to preserve its green spaces.

Abstract: Eastern Ghats of India have a rich biodiverity, vast generic resources and culture (Mohanty et al.,2011). The Eastern Ghats of Odisha is highly enriched in floral diversity (Haines,1922; Saxena and Bramham,1995; Panda and Patnaik,1996). Almost 80% of the world population depend on plant resources for primary health care (Praveen et al.,2007). The medicinal use of plants has been found from various tribal communities through Siddha, Ayurveda and Unani (Gadgil,1996). Among the flowering plants, grasses, occur everywhere and covers about one fifth of the earth's land surface 9Shantz,1954).

Abstract: Morphological characters of plants, which can be compared, measure, counted and described to assess the differences or similarities in the plant taxa are often used for plant taxonomic identification, description and classification. Likewise, trees stem bark characters have also been found useful in the taxonomy of various plants, supplementing to the vegetative and floral characters of the plant for its identification (Whitmore,1962).In fact, the tree stem bark characters are of great diagnostic value and therefore the bark has been considered as a hallmark for the tree species identification (Ghosh, 2006).

Abstract: Neanotis W.H. Lewis is a small tropical genus mostly confined to South Asia, East Asia and Southeast Asian regions .All the Asian species were initial treated in the genus Anotis DC, a broadly heterogeneous group of both New and Old World tropics and later, Lewis (1966) transferred all the Asiatic species of Anotis to Neanotis based on palynological evidence, as the pollens are distinct not only from their allies in Asia but also from all members of the tribe Hedyotideae known elsewhere. Presently the genus is represented by 31 species (Govaerts et al., 2014; Wangwasit and Chantaranothai, 2014), of which 22 species are distributed in India.

Keywords: Poplar, Populus deltoides, Leaf defoliator, Resistant, Choice feeding, No-choice feeding, Clostera cupreata
Abstract: Poplar, Populus deltoides is one of the fast-growing forestry species and widely planted in the farm forestry in north-western India. This species is very susceptible to the defoliator C. cupreata insect pest which causes economic loss every year. To manage this pest with eco-friendly method, screening of relatively resistant clones was carried out in Foret Entomology Discipline, Forest Research Institute, Dehradun. In this study 39 clones were screened in which 34 clones were developed by FRI, Dehradun and five other clones were included. Screening of the clones was undertaken based on the leaf area consumed by larval stage under 'choice' and no-choice' method of feeding. Results of the present study revealed that clones viz.FRI-PD-FS-95, FRI-PD-FS-28, FRI-PD-FS-21, and one clone of Australia-G-48 were found to be most resistant against C.cupreata with the feeding of 24.18,41.04,42.07 and 48.39 cm2, respectively. The feeding data of both the 'choice' and 'no-choice' experiment were positively correlated with each other. Therefore, these clones may be opted for plantation under farm forestry in northwestern India for achieving the better growth of the poplar.

Keywords: HYdrophytes, Traditional knowledge, Secondary metabolites, Tripura
Abstract: The present paper mainly focuses on ethnobotanical diversity of wetland plants of Khowai River System of Tripura, North-East India, a trans-boundary river that originates in the eastern part of the Antharamura Hills of Tripura. Field survey was concluded in and around the river system to collect information about the wetland flora. Data on the use of plants was collected with a semi structured questionnaire and from the peer-reviewed literature. A total of 43 angiosperm species belonging to 36 genera under 24 families were identified along with their family, botanical name, vernacular name. In the biological spectrum, the dicotyledons are the most divergent because of number of species and genera. The depth of the river is gradually shrinking due to severe anthropogenic factors, therefore, there is an urgent need to conserve the biodiversity as well as quality of drinking water.

Abstract: The Hasdeo river watershed is the source of various land use practices. Human activities have a long-term impact on land use/cover changes and the sustainability of a watershed to research aims to assess changes in land use/land cover (LULC) in the Ahiran subwatershed of the Hasdeo River in Central India, based on temporal analysis of independently produced classified images, normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) from 2000 to 2013.The comparison of the LULC change maps over different time periods (2000-2013) shows that the land use structure within the study region have changes. The land use intensity within the study region have changes. The land use intensity within the study region indicates the degree of human activities on lands, which may be important indicators of land use pattern. During the thirteen years, the dense forest region rise in hyperbolic due to the establishment of plantations and other tree species in barren and scrublands. Expansion of mining, industrial activities, and settlements has to hydrological changes also. The NDVI and SAVI indicate of healthy and unhealthy vegetation in subwatersheds when compared to various LULC.PCA demonstrates a strong relationship between baren and riverbed, water resources, and dense forest to conduct conclude, subwater shed is currently due to intensive anthropogenic activities. Good government policies which encourage the growth of forests in the vicinity of mining areas through social forestry should be implemented.

Keywords: Brihad panchamoola, Threatened,CAMP,Chemotype, Herbal industry
Abstract: The Indian Systems of Medicine has a long tradition of using medicinal plants. Various parts, such as roots, bark and leaves, are harvested, processed and used to prepare herbal formulations. Dasamoola,one such herbal formulation consumed for general health improvement, uses roots of five medicinal trees, Aegle marmelos, Premna integrifolia, Oroxylum indicum, Stereospermum suaveolens, Gmeina arborea. As the root is the major constituent of the formulation, the five species are destructively harvested from wild, leading to depletion of their genetic stocks. This commercial exploitation has pushed the species to threatened levels in the wild, as reported through CAMP Workshops. The increasing demand for the formulation and the widening demand and supply gap for raw materials has encouraged research on various aspects of these five species. The paper describes the demand of the species both at industry and household levels, leading to their threatened status, there is need for research to conserve the resources and strategies for sustainable use.

Abstract: This paper seeks to examine the “Scheduled Tribes and other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006”-popularly known as ‘Forest Rights Act’-and its subsequent amendment brought in 2012, from the environmental justice perspective. The main purpose of this study is to analyse its environmental justice content with special reference to the stat’s approach towards tribals’ local cultural practices and traditional knowledge-possessed by the forest communities especially tribals-in the forest management. The study adopts the social environmental justice perspective as its analytical framework to explore to what extent the customary and cultural practices as well as the values and the beliefs systems based traditional knowledge of tribal communities living in India find any articulation in the existing forest legal structure.

Subject: Growth performance of Santalum album L. in association with different host species in South Gujarat region
Keywords: Santalum album,Growth performance, Host species, South Gujarat
Abstract: Santalum album is conceived as one of the most precious tree species in the world. In the present investigation growth performance of sandalwood with reference to various host species has been studied on five years old plantation in moist deciduous region of Southern Gujarat. Three parameters height, DBH and volume index were considered for comparing growth performance of sandalwood in association with eight host species in four replications and ten combinations for total of 240 plants. Significant variations among all combination were statistically analyzed through one way ANOVA test. Cajanus cajan and Cassia siamea showed most potential host species for sandalwood growth compared to other host species.

Subject: Influence of various biofertilizers on growth and biomass of rooted cuttings of Casuarina (Casuarina equisetifolia L)
Keywords: Biofertilizers, growth parameters,Biomass parameters, Casuarina equisetifolia
Abstract: The present investigation was conducted at college of forestry 9ACHF), Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat, India. The experiment was laid out in a completely Randomized Design with three repetitions. The cuttings were raised by using IBA @25 ppm + NAA @ 25 ppm. After two months of planting of cuttings the rooted cuttings which exhibited uniform growth were treated with different eight treatments of biofertilizers viz.,Azospirilium, Phospho bacterium, Azotobacter and their combination along with three repetitions were studied for six months. The treatment Ta Azospirilium+ Phosphobacterium+ Azotobacter (3.33 ml each/rooted cutting) enhanced shoot length (12.48, 18.89, 24.94, 31.80, 38.65 and 44.97 cm) and collar diameter (3.00, 4.22, 6.36 , 8.50, 10.29 and 11.23 mm) respectively of new sprouted shoot at 30,60,90, 120,150 and 180 days after transplanting (DAT) .The same treatment also recorded maximum values of fresh and dry weight rot (5.62 and 2.58 g plant) , shoot (51.54 and 18.42 g plant) and plant (57.16 and 21.oo g plant), shoot (51.54 and 18.42 g plant) and plant (57.16 and 21.00 g plant), respectively at 180 DAT. Moreover, minimum values of above all parameters were noticed in Control. However, at 180 DAT the highest value of root: shoot ratio on dry weight basis was observed in Control (0.26).
