An experiment was conducted on Silver fir (Abies pindrow) seedlings raised in five different growing medium in 300cc ischolar_main trainers-M1 (Peat moss + vermiculite, 1 : 1),M2 (Dal weed +Sand, 1:1), M3 (Cupressus leaf litter+ Sand, 1:1), M4 (Peat moss+Sand, 1:1) and M5 (Soil + Sand + FYM, 1:1:1). The growth of seedlings was recorded after two years and six months of sowing. The growing medium M1 (Peat moss + Vermiculite, 1:1) recorded maximum height (10.2cm), collar diameter (3.71mm) and fresh shoot and ischolar_main weight (3.79 and 4.22g) respectively, similarly the seedlings raised in M1 also recorded maximum height increment of 3.92cm.Keywords

Acer oblongum seedlings were exposed to four levels of Nitrogen (0,40,80 and 120 kg ha-1) in combination with four planting spacings (10×10cm; 15×l0cm, 15×15 cm and 20×20cm) to elucidate their effect on growth, biomass production, nitrogen content and uptake. The most significant result was that combination of 80 kg N ha and 20×20 cm spacing is more appropriate for raising better nursery stock of Acer oblongum.- Factors Affecting Natural Regeneration of Ban Oak (Quercus leucortichophora A.

The seedfall observed from Dec.10,1989 to Feb.18,1990 followed, in general, an unimodal pattern assuming maxima on January 9. The sound and infested seeds showed more or less similar pattern with the progress of sampling date. The total seedfall was estimated to be 11.51 seeds/m2 in site-I and 14.76 seeds/m2 in site-II. The average contribution of sound and infested seed to total seedfall was computed to be 34.98 and 65.02 per cent in site-I and 29.01 and 70.99 per cent in site-II respectively. Seed infestation on forest floor as well as tree crown exceeded 50 per cent; the latter was on average relatively lower by 13.18 per cent in site-I and 10.06 per cent in site-II. The per cent seed loss from Feb. to July, 1990 was estimated to be around 73 per cent. The maximum germination took place between July to November. The total number of newly germinated seedlings after one year of seedfall was 0.63/m2 in site-I and 0.36/m2 in site-II.- Assesing the Household Fuel Wood Extraction and Consumption Situation in Rural Kashmir, India

The study examined the extraction and consumption pattern of fuel wood, socio-economic and forest resource characteristics and their relationship with extraction and consumption of fuel wood in rural Kashmir. Sample villages and representative households were selected using multi-stage random sampling for field study through structured interviews and personal observations. Correlation and multiple regression analysis was carried out to establish the relationship between socioeconomic and forest resource parameters and fuel wood consumption. Results show that the total extraction of fuel wood in the sample villages was 224.64 tons annum-1, which is mostly consumed in cooking (45.60%). Of the total extraction, 26.17 per cent was secured from forests and rest (73.83%) from other sources. All the independent variables put together had contributed to 78.60 per cent (R2 = 0.786) variation on the fuel wood consumption and the key variables viz., family composition, size of land holding, housing status, frequency of forest visits and extent of agroforestry/homestead plantation had significant contribution in influencing the fuel wood consumption. The fuel wood flow from forests to the sample villages is excessive as compared to the national estimates, creating threats to the biodiversity conservation and ecological stability of the adjoining forests of the area. The over-utilization of forest biomass by the local populace is leading to a depletion of forest resources and diminished biomass productivity, which in turn induce socio-economic and livelihood stress. Therefore, some alternative interventions are required to be implemented efficiently to keep pace with the current development and future challenges.Keywords

The traditional agroforestry systems have gained wider attention in the international agreements and among academicians and policy makers for their multifunctional role and dynamics of ecosystem services. The multifunctional traditional agroforestry systems support substantial ecosystem services and livelihoods to the rural communities in Kashmir. They are considered to be adaptive to the climate change situations and serve as efficient means to carbon sinks. Due to the remarkable significance of traditional agroforestry systems in the valley ecosystem, environment and livelihood, the systems have been considered as a promising land use pattern in the valley. With climate change rapidly impacting both ecosystems and services in the valley, the sustainability of dynamic traditional agroforestry systems is now facing new challenges and vulnerabilities. Indigenous knowledge on traditional agroforestry is an integral part of the culture and history of the local communities which offer opportunities for sustainable management of resources and support socio-ecological and socio-economic benefits. The indigenous knowledge on agroforestry needs to be further strengthened through research and development to achieve the goals of sustainable development.Keywords

Bioresources composition in District Budgam (Central Kashmir) revealed the presence of 31 genera having 32 species belonging to 20 families of herb plants and six genera of six species representing three families of trees. Seasonal variation in quantitative attributes explicated dominance of Cynodon dactylon. Index of diversity of herbaceous species demonstrated maximum values during summer season. In case of tree diversity, Malus domestica was recorded as the most important species revealing an importance value index of 72 in the evaluated agroforestry system.Keywords
