Due to the complex nature of the landscape around the tree, it was deemed unlikely that the tree’s root morphology would be typical. ...
One such practice, cultivation and conservation of trees in agricultural practices, or agroforestry, is an important climate-smart solution with many important co-benefits. ...
A mere 3.4 billion cubic meters is harvested each year, mostly for subsistence fuel burning; the rest rots, burns in fires or adds to forests’ density. Swapping steel, concrete or brick for wood and specially engineered wood equivalents would drastically reduce global carbon dioxide emissions and fossil fuel consumption and would represent a renewable resource. ...

Midnapore division has indicated that, by and large, the programme is set to enhance the forest cover, tree density, basal area and productivity. Tree densities have increased tremendously in the JFM protected forests, primarily due to coppicing Shorea robusta that dominates the forest. Slight protection would enhance the ...
Vegetation development in 20 JFM villages was assessed. Stem density ranged up to 321 trees/ha. Number of cut stems/ha varied from 49–92 indicating tree removals. Tree species were over 50 in Ghats, 40 in sub plains and 30 in plains indicating biodiversity improvement. Size-class distribution of trees indicates ...
Vegetation parameters such as species richness, density of trees, basal areas, Shanon Weiner's diversity index, woody biomass and MAI were observed and compared with control plots in a non-JFM village. Stem density, species richness, species diversity, basal area, biomass and mean annual biomass increment were higher in JFM forests as compared to ...
An ecological study showed that plantation approach in the Western Ghats and pre-JFPM model of Eastern Plains are comparable with high biomass and lower species diversity, and the Eastern Plains JFM areas are characterised by higher biodiversity index, lesser tree density, above ground biomass and mean annual increments.Keywords: joint forest management, ...
In this study, linear and non-linear regression equations were developed to estimate biomass of tropical forests along with estimates of goodness of fit and percentage of errors. Basal area, average height of trees and tree density data from published reports, were used to develop equations to estimate biomass of deciduous and evergreen forests. ...
