Subject: IRS LISS3-based study of spatio-temporl land use and Land Cover changes and their relationship with the Ahitran watershed of Haasdeo River in in central India
Keywords: Watershed, LULC, PCA, Remote sensing, NDVI, SAVI
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.

Subject: A review on the demand status and strategies for conservation of Brihad panchamoola species
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.

Abstract: The present investigation was carried out in the Overa wildlife sanctuary in the Kashmir Valey of Jammu and Kashmir, Union Territory of India. The plant community composition and other phytosociological characteristics of the vegetation were studied in four fixed habitats of the sanctuary. The vegetation analysis was carried out by stratified random sampling. Quadrates of 10x10 m, 5x5 m and 1x1 m for trees, shrubs and herbs respectively were lid in all four habitats. The plant community composition and other phytosociological characteristics of the vegetation revealed a total of 37 plant species belonging to 25 families were recorded from the study area out of which 8 were tree species, 8 shrubs species and 21 herb species. Out of the total families recorded, Asteraceae was the dominant family represented by 4 species, followed by Pinaceae, and Fabaceae with species each. Malvaceae, Poaceae, Polygonaceae, Rosaceae and Sapindaceae represented by two species each. Betulaceae, Dioscoreaceae, Berberidaceae, Caprifoliaceae, Jugalandaceae, Simaroubaceae, Hamamelidaeae, Cupressaceae, Ranunculaceae ,Lamiaceae, Phytolacaceae, Podophyllaceae, Solanaceae, Cannabaceae, Poaceae, Urticaceae and Valerianaceae were represented by one species in each family. The phytosociology of the different habitats revealed that among trees Abies pindrow and Pinus wallichiana dominated the woodland and riverine habitat while as Abies pindrow and Piceae smithiana dominated the coniferous habitat. Betula utilis and Picea smithiana dominated the coniferous habitat. Betula utilis and Picea smithaina dominated the sub alpine pasture habitat. The phytosociology of shrubs envisaged that Viburnum grandiflorum was the most dominant shrub species in woodland, riverine and coniferous habitats whereas; Juniperous communis was dominant in sub-alpine pasture habitat. Similarly, among herbs, Fragaria vesca dominated in Woodand, riverine and coniferous habitats whereas Trifoliumrepens was dominant in sub-alpine pasture habitat. Among tress the value of Shannon Wiener diversity index was 1.60 in woodland, 1.37 in coniferous. In case of shrubs, the value of diversity index was 1.92 in woodland and 1.08 in sub-alpine pasture. Among herbs the value of the index in woodland was 2.68 and 3.27 in sub-alpine pasture was 2.15.

Abstract: Exploration of the diverse tree species in moist deciduous forests is the urgent need to conserve and restore the degraded forest ecosystem in this sub-Himalayan Terai-Duars part of Eastern India. From Red Data Book and IUCN Red List their threatened status and diversity in the unique ecosystem of gorumara National Park (GNP), India, were assessed carefully to develop baseline data for natural resource study that will help to prepare a master plan for proper conservation of the sustainable ecosystem of the national park. The study used random sampling in different seasons in various micro habitats within the National Park. The diversity of trees was observed, with 315 taxa representing 198 genera belonging to 61 families. Phytosociology and diversity of the tree layer was also analyzed through quadrate sampling. The study reflects very rich tree diversity in the area, with 211 species of wild medicinal plants and NTFP species frequently used in indigenous medicine systems and other uses by locals. The study also reveals that the forest provides a unique environment for wildlife by maintaining an ideal ecosystem and acting as a wildlife corridor by connecting several nearby forest landscape.

Abstract: The majority of migratory birds spend around three months of their yearly cycle on breeding grounds, six months on overwintering grounds, and three or more months travelling between these places. These large-scale travels over a varied range of habitat types and environmental circumstances result in a series of complicated ecological interactions that have profound implications for migratory bird biology (Webster and Marra, 2005).Birds such as raptors and aerial insectivores migrate during the day and most waterfowl, shorebirds, and songbirds migrate during the night (Cabrera-Cruz et al., 2018).

Abstract: A survey of avifauna was carried out in Jhilmil Jheel Conservation Reserve (JJCR) of Haridwar Forest Division, Uttarakhand during 2018-2020.Point count method was used to count birds in six habitats viz., plantation, mixed forest, riverine habitat, scrub forest, grasslands and agriculture field. In toral, 170 species of birds representing 16 orders and 64 families were recorded. The dominant order was Passeriformes, while the dominant forging guild was insectivores birds. Most of the bird species were resident. The overall bird species diversity was 4.126. JJCR harbours 10 species of globally threatened avifauna including 3 Critically Endangered, 3 Endangered, and 4 Vulnerable species; in addition, the reserve also has 8 species of Ner Threatened birds. The present documentation of avian community structure would help in developing conservation plan of this IBA.

Subject: A preliminary study onpollinators of New Forest campus, Dehradun, India
Keywords: Pollination, Syrphidfly,Honey bee, butterfly, host plants, new forest campus
Abstract: The present study was undertaken to find out the insect pollinators associated with some plants in the New Forest Campus, FRI, Dehradun, India. The observation were taken by three different methods from April to July 2020.The study revealed that 45 insect pollinator species belonging to four orders and ten families were present in the campus. A total of 32 flowering plant species were observed to be visited by 45 insect pollinators among them species richness of butterflies was maximum followed by non apis bees, apis bees, wasps and syrphidflies, but bees were the most dominated species for pollination in the campus. Among the host plants flowers of Peltophorum pterocarpum was visited by maximum number of pollinators (11 species), followed by Lantana camara (8 species), Lichi chinensis (6 species), Bidens alba (4 species) and Mangifera indica (3 species) etc.

Subject: Spiders of Himachal Pradesh: A preliminary checklist
Keywords: Spider diversity, Himachal Pradesh, Literature review, Aaneae
Abstract: The current paper presents the first comprehensive checklist of spider fauna occurring and/or reported from the wester Himalayan state of Himachal Pradesh, as compiled from peer-reviewed published secondary literature sources.59 species of spiders belonging to 10 families have been enlisted' which have been originally either described as state-specific records or type locality from Himachal Pradesh, of which a few have been subjected to taxonomic revisions. Of the 59 reported species, 18 species across 7 families remain reported only till the generic level, leaving an information blind-spot of them being re-reported across sources as unique species, highlighting the need to have a more systematic diversity database for this understudied faunal group.
