Namdapha National Park in Arunachal Pradesh is one of the largest reservoirs of plant biodiversity in the North-East India. A large number of medicinal plants, rare and endemic taxa occur here in the wild. The Chakma community inhabiting the North-western periphery of the park has been utilizing a large number of medicinal plants from the park area for their day-to-day life. This paper documents the medicinal use of 63 plant species belonging to 38 families in different ailments by the Chakma community in Arunachal Pradesh. It is suggested that the traditional ecological knowledge pertaining to the medicinal plant utilization needs further exploration and warrants recognition of an incentive based community conservation of medicinal plants.

Manipur in India is endowed with rich biodiversity and abundant natural resources. Despite inaccessibility, marginality and heterogeneity, the state has made good progress in agriculture and allied sectors. About 80% of the state population depends on agriculture for livelihood. However, agriculture sector in Manipur is facing the consequences of climate change. Climate change is a reality and an increasing trend in temperature, precipitation and emission of greenhouse gases has been observed in Manipur. The state is also projected to experience more of extreme rainfall and reduction in crop yields. As subsistence level farming is coupled with prevalent shifting cultivation, the small and marginal farmers will be most affected due to climate change. Hence, there is an urgent need for devising climate proof plan and climate ready policy for climate compatible agricultural development in Manipur. Location-specific climate smart technology baskets need to be devised or introduced and should be demonstrated through participatory approach, for ensuring a climate resilient production system, and a climate resilient ecosystem. The interactions between the system’s adaptation strategies and the mitigation potential should also be given due importance in the action plan for combating climate change. This article deals with the present status of agriculture and allied sector and various technological and policy options for climate resilient agriculture in the hill and mountain ecosystems of Manipur.Keywords

It has been observed recently that the majority of far-mers in North East India have shifted their attention towards traditional agroforestry practices owing to their economic and ecological values. We conducted an extensive survey in three districts of Arunachal Pra-desh, India, namely, Kra Daadi, Lower Subansiri and Papum Pare. The study focused on the imperative of agroforestry practices in terms of socio-economy, live-lihood, food security and the existing constraints ham-pering the development of agroforestry practices. The traditional agroforestry has replaced the old way of jhumming that registered a decline of at least 70%–80% during the last 15 years. The practice of tradi-tional agroforestry in this region displayed several so-cial, environmental and economic benefits leading to the growth of adoption for sustainable development.Keywords

Transitioning to a net-zero world is one of the greatest challenges humanity may face across the world. Nonetheless, land-based carbon removal actions are vital to meet net-zero targets but involve significant trade-offs that may risk food security. The potential increase in demand for land in the near future for land-based climate mitigation methods across India could certainly threaten the right to land and food, especially for people and communities whose livelihoods depend on land. In the context of global efforts to address and combat the climate crisis and to improve food security, agroforestry is a sustainable land use with immense potential to achieve significant impact and synergy across priorities.Keywords

A study was undertaken in the Vaishali district of Bihar, India, in 2020 to assess the effect of various agroforestry systems (AFS) on the distribution of different pools of soil organic carbon (fraction I – very labile, fraction II – labile, fraction III – less labile and fraction IV – non-labile), carbon stocking and soil microbial activity. The mean (0–45 cm) total organic carbon (TOC) in different AFS ranged from 5.55 to 6.64 Mg C ha–1, with the highest under poplar-based AFS (PB-AFS). Across the AFS studied, the C stocks (0–45 cm) varied from 36.24 (mango-based AFS) to 41.43 Mg C ha–1 (PB-AFS). Overall, the magnitude of C fractions showed the order: fraction I > fraction IV > fraction III > fraction II. Significantly higher soil microbial biomass carbon was recorded under PB-AFS (219.36 mg g–1) in 0–15 cm depth. Basal respiration was also the highest under PB-AFS (0.54 mg CO2-C g–1 h–1), followed by TB-AFS (0.50 mg CO2-C g–1 h–1) in 0–15 cm depth. Principal component analysis result showed that PC 1 and PC 2 represented about 97% of the total variation. TOC and active carbon pool had the maximum loading in PC 1, while microbial metabolic quotient and bulk density had the maximum value in PC 2Keywords
