With the rapid developmental process taking place across the globe, there are several pockets widespread in North East Region of India which are becoming hotspots of land-use change. Industrial expansion is one of the main reasons for conversion of landuse/land-cover classes, particularly from forest to nonforest. This study focuses on the impact of the cement industrial and mining activities leading to the loss of forest cover in Jaintia hills district, Meghalaya, NE India. The region owing to its large natural resource store is becoming the zone of forest to non-forest conversion at a much faster rate. In this study, remote sensing has been used as a tool to observe the extent of land-use change using an automatic change detection software, DeltaCue to map the expansion of the cement industrial units and their impact on the vegetation in the immediate vicinity. The present study highlights the spread of the industrial units from 2005 to 2011 and the loss of vegetation.Keywords

With the current trend of land use/land cover (LULC) change taking place globally, several parts of northeast India are also showing signs of change in LULC pattern leading to forest loss. This study focusses on the expansion of monoculture rubber plantation (Hevea brasiliensis) in selected sub-watersheds in north-east India, and distributed in parts of north Tripura, Mizoram and a major portion in the Karimganj district of Assam. Remote sensing and GIS technique has been used to map and analyse the extent of rubber plantation using temporal IRS LISS III satellite data from 1997 to 2013. It has been observed that rubber plantation increased from 4.47 sq. km to 28.42 sq. km in various parts of the study area. The expansion was more rapid during recent times, i.e. during 2010 to 2013. The plantation took place in dense forest, open forest and degraded forest areas. The spread of the plantation was also observed in one reserved forest located within the study area. There are several instances of negative impacts of rubber plantation expansion in Southeast Asia. Similar expansion of rubber plantation has been observed in northeast India as well. Further spread of rubber plantations in the region needs to be regulated to avoid conversion of dense and reserved forest areas by fostering use of mixed cropping methods instead of rubber monocultures, and by adopting more sustainable land use and management practices.Keywords

Frequent ground surveys and satellite-based information on tree height, canopy gaps and forest dynamics are limited by time, cost and spatial scales. In this study, an attempt has been made to derive forest biometric parameter on tree height by canopy height model and crown area projections using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV)–RGB image. Sorensen’s coefficient has been used as an index to compare between ground inventory and UAV-based species identification. The statistical paired t-test showed UAV RGB can be used for maximum tree height and tree crown extraction to aid in ground surveys.Keywords

Much work has been done on hydrothermal alteration and serpentinization of high-magnesian bulks like dunite or peridotite. In contrast, serpentinization of dolomite has received scant attention. In this study we focus on a system of nearly monomineralic intersecting veins comprising serpentine or epidote or calcite developed within Vempalle dolomite of unmetamorphosed Cuddapah Supergroup of rocks, Eastern Dharwar Craton, India. Our studies show that hydrothermal alteration under moderately low temperature, low pressure and moderate silica activity can lead to extensive serpentinization of the dolomitic host. Development of talc can occur under increased silica activity at similar P–T conditions. We also explore the mechanism of formation of chrysotile veins, epidote veins and calcite veins that transect the lizardite which replaces dolomiteKeywords
