Keywords: Bandheli Grass species, Species composition, Threats
Abstract: In Gujarat, a total of 8,490 km3.are under grassland falls in the eight districts. However, a systematic inventory of grassland is not yet done in the state. The present study deals with the systematic inventory of grass species diversity and characterization of Bandheli Reserve Grassland. As a result of the present investigation, a total of 60grass species have been reported. Among the recorded 60 grass species, 18 were highly palatable, 22 are moderately palatable, nine are least palatable, and 11 are unpalatable. This entire grassland is divided into major types based on the dominant grass and its composition. This zonation will be used in its management and improvement. This grassland facing threats of converting into woodland by tree growth, i.e., out of 754.04ha, 304 ha area covered by trees and around 100 ha is degraded. The zonation map will be helpful in the management and improvement of this grassland.

Subject: Scope of wod scanning applications in India-A Review
Keywords: Wood scanning, NDT, Agar-wood, Urban forest,Genetic tree improvement ,Silviculture management, and wood industries
Abstract: This article describes the opportunities of major wood scanning technologies in the Indian forestry field. Researchers have developed various non-destructive technologies to better understand the inner properties of wood. In the wood industry, the correct identification of wood species and their physical (in furniture industries) and chemical (in paper and pulp industries) characteristics is critical for end-use applications. The measurements of wood properties (Elastic properties, Thermal properties, Electrical properties, Dielectric properties, and ionization radiation properties) with the help of wood scanning technologies are used for locating and quantifying wood decay and knots in both standing trees and logs. These measurements have been employed in various perspectives on forestry applications. For instance, measurement of Modulus of Elasticity (MoE) is used to assess thinking effects and tree health assessment s, and as a breeding criterion in tree improvement. This article aims to describe major wood scanning technologies that provide tomography of wood and the scope of wood scanning technologies, and their current status in the Indian forestry field. The major wood scanning technologies include Acoustic Tomography, Electric al Impedance Tomography, Magnetic induction Tomography, Radiography Computed Tomography, and Microwave Tomography

Subject: Nutritional assessment of a traditionally important shrub Haloxylon salicornium from four different locations of western Rajasthan
Keywords: Nutritional,Seeds,Elements, Proximate, Supplement, Dietary
Abstract: Haloxylon salicornium is a very important lesser-known wild fruiting shrub species of arid region. It has edible seeds and reported to be used for bread making by mixing with other grains during faminies. Fruits and seeds are also used as animals feed, wood as fuel and different plant parts for medicine purpose. It is a good soil binder hence used in restoration of degraded lands. Nutrional evaluation of Haloxylon salicornicum seeds was carried out from four different locations of Western Rajasthan. Moisture, ash, sugar, fat, fibre content were determined using standard AOAC procedures. Seeds were found to contain protein (12.04-18.3%), sugar (2.63-6.11%), crude fat (1.6-3.51%) and vitamin C (34.85-47.96 mg/100g). Mineral analysis showed that they were rich source of Fe, Mn, Mg, K and Ca. This work aims at summarizing information on the food value of H.Salicornicum so as to promote this species for domestication in arid lands for use as dietary supplement. As it can survive under extreme drought conditions so can be used for cultivation in marginal lands o arid areas.

Subject: Study of tree diversity and biomass in natural and managed site of ridge forest ecosystem, Delhi Forest, India
Keywords: Biomass, Forest Ecosystem, Density, Tree species, Carbon stock
Abstract: Tree diversity and biomass (above and below-ground) were studied in natural and managed sites of Delhi Ridge Forest. The study was conducted in the Northern Ridge (NR) and South-Central Ridge (SCR) of the forest ecosystems. In the natural site of both ridges, Prosopis juliflora (IVI=105) was the dominant species due to its invasive nature. Eucalyptus tereticornis (IVI=41.7) and Pongamia pinnata (IVI=63.5) were dominant species in the managed site of NR and SCR, respectively. Rare species in the natural site was Wrightia tinctoria. In managed site, Thuja orientalis (IVI=4.08) and Ficus bengalensis (IVI=4.6) were rare. The maximum biomass was found in the aboveground biomass of the natural site of Delhi NR forest i.e aboveground biomass (AGB) ranged was from 44.59 Mg ha-1 to 89.99 Mg ha-1 while the belowground biomass 9BGB) was 17.29 ranged from 9.16 Mg ha-1 to 17.29 Mgha-1.The least AGB was in the managed site of SCR (44.59 Mg ha-1) .The total biomass of the NR ranged between 70.35 to 107.28 Mg ha-1.In SCR, it ranged between 53.75 to 96.22 Mgha-1 which was low as compared to NR due to high human disturbance and poor soil quality. AGB and tree density was found to be maximum in 10-30 cm diameter class in all the sites of Ridge Forest. Prosopis juliflora was the most important tree species in ridge ecosystem as it allocated approximately 50 % of the total biomass. Trees of Delhi ridge forest falls under lower dimeter classes due to disturbance regime. Variations in species composition, density, diameter distribution pattern, biomass and Carbon stock in the Northern and South-Central Ridge were attributed to two different forest management practices adopted. Hence, both the ridge Forest had potential management carbon sequestration due to presence of large number of trees belonging to small dbh classes.

Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different cutting sizes on performance of different clones for rooting ability and other morphological parameters for vegetation propagation of Casuarina clones under controlled climatic conditions. Six clones of Casuarina viz. IFGTB CH1, IFGTB CH2, IFGTB CH 4 IFGTB CH5, IFGTB CH6 and IFGTB CJ7 were selected for the present study. Three cutting sizes i.e., diameter of <0.3 cm, 0.3-0.6 cm and 0.6-0.9 cm were tested to see the effect on propagation. Clone IFGTB CH 4 registered its superiority for sprouting (69.61%) survival (37.75%) and days taken for sprouting (3.00 days). Clone IFGTB CH5 performed Better for shoot and root parameters. Cutting diameter of <0.3 cm resulted in highest survival (40.01%), plant height (46.63cm), number of days taken for sprouting initiation (4.66 days) and branches number (1.41). High genotypic coefficient of variation, phenotypic coefficient of variation, heritability and genetic gain were recorded for most of the traits. Highest phenotypic correlation was observed between root dry weight and root fresh (0.9219). Highest direct effect on rootdry weight was recorded by root fresh weight (0.2828) and indirect effect was registered by root length through collar diameter (0.2486)

Subject: Analysis of genetic diversity through leaf trichome characters and RAPD markers in two species of Dendro calamus
Keywords: Dendrocalamus asper, D.strictus, Micro-morphology, Trichomes, RAPD
Abstract: Traditionally, Phenotypic characters or protein profiling were used to establish the genetic relationships or identification purposes of species. In recent times, DNA profiling is done using various molecular techniques. Analysis of micro-morphological characters can be used as preliminary tool compared to phenotypic characters. Present study is an approach to find out the intra-generic and intra-specific relationship based on micro-morphological and RAPD analysis in Dendrocalamus spp. For micro morphological analysis, observations on tricholes were recorded on both the surfaces of leaves. Total five genotypes, Dendrocalamus asper (mother and microproapagated plant) and D.strictus (seed raised three cultivars from various locations) were included in the study. Both the samples of D. asper showed close similarity on the basis of presence and size of trichomes (371.07-1019.17 µm) on the lower surface (abaxial) and being present in the same subcluster for all the seven primers tested out of total nine. However, one primer (B17899) gave no amplification whereas, OPB4 divided the genotypes into three clusters-cluster 1(sample2), cluster II (sample 1) and cluster III (sample 3,4,5). Out of three samples of D.strictus, one sample showed characteristically very large trichomes (1189.3-2166.61µm) and was in different cluster by the primer OPE1, OPD1, OPA12 and A17898.

Abstract: Simpli Pal forest is situated in Mayurbhanj district of Odisha, India. It is both a tiger reserve and a biosphere reserve notified in 1973 and 1994 respectively by government of India. The tribes residing in the district of Mayurbhanj are Bathudi, Bhumija, Kharia, Kolha, Mankidia, Munda, Santal, Bindhani and others. There are 62 villages inside Similipal (four in the core and 58 in the buffer zone of the reserve) and about 1200 villages located in the transitional ozone. The people in and around 1200 villages located in the transitional zone. The people in and around Simlipal lead a subsistence living. The study reveals that there is extreme poverty, unavailability of schools and remoteness of tribal habitations in the core area. But there is an increase in pe capita income and decent living for the families of relocated community. Simultaneously, wild animals found extensive inviolate area for movement and reproduction in the core area of Simlipal reserve from where human habitation is relocated.

Subject: Phenology for the weed flora f the tea gardens in Terai and hills of Darjeeling district of West Bengal, India
Keywords: Phenology, Tea garden, Darjeeling, Weed flora
Abstract: The present studies have significantly contributed to the methods of the phenological observations on 220 dominant and troublesome weeds of the Tea Gardens of Terai and Hills of Darjeeling district of West Bengal from ± 125m to ±2010m and also in in vitro condition. Repeated visit to different tea gardens in different months were to record the stages of life cycle of different species of plants in the vegetation and a comprehensive phenological calendar were prepared, covering the period from 2017 to 2019.The tea garden weeds are mostly Therophytes of Annual herbs and most of them are local species. Different parameters of phenophase used for this study are germination, seedling appearance, vegetative stage, flowering, fruit-set, sed dispersal, death or perennation and modes of pollination which are discused in this paper.
