Indian Forester, Vol 134, No 1 (2008), Pagination: 26-35Abstract
The Valley of Flowers National Park spread over an area of around 87.5 km2 ensconced within the upper Himalayan ridges between the altitudes of 3,200 to 6,675 m is visited by on an average around 3,000 visitors annually from all over the country as well as from out side. The study was carried out to estimate recreational benefits derived from the national park by employing two valuation techniques, viz., travel cost method (TCM) and the contingent valuation method (CVM). Application of TCM estimated a recreational value of Rs. 194.68 per visit and when extrapolated to the total number of visitors, the total recreational benefits of Rs. 5,88,332 were obtained. The recreational value estimated by application of CVM gave an average willingness to pay of Rs. 1833.83 which when extrapolated to the total number of visitors become Rs. 55,41,834. The reason for significant higher value obtained by the CVM may be due to the hypothetical nature of this valuation technique and the strategic bias where the nature loving respondents tend to place a much higher value on a site like Valley of Flowers National Park. In view of the weighted average travel cost being a small fraction of the average income of the visitors, the authors recommend an increase in gate fee and utilization of these funds for improvement in the management of the park.Keywords

The goods and services provided by forest plantations contribute significantly to human welfare, both directly and indirectly. A study was undertaken for quantification and valuation of plantation based provisioning services in Haryana. Group preferences and individual preferences for different landscape units were assessed through community meetings, PDM and household survey. Results indicated that the dependency of local people for fodder, fuelwood and timber was more on private lands, which met 92% of their demand, while plantations provided merely 8% of their total requirement that too to the landless people mainly.Keywords

A study was undertaken in three villages of Bhiwani District in Haryana to assess the value of habitat function of planted forests. These villages were located at varying distance from a Blackbuck (Gazella gazella) Breeding Farm, which is a planted forest. Contingent valuation method was by asking the people to reveal their willingness to pay, both in terms of money as well as mandays, for the protection and improvement of the habitat for continued habitat function benefits. The total value of habitat functions provided by the farm was Rs. 15,71,641 per year for three villages out of which Rs. 12,24,112 per year came from the WTP in the form of labour mandays.Keywords

An experiment was conducted in the bamboo areas of Dehra Dun and Lansdowne Forest Divisions to assess the impact of felling and cultural operations on the production of new culms in D. strictus. Felling was carried out as per the prescription of Working Plan. It was observed that the production of new culms increased substantially at the sites where felling was undertaken. However, mulching with soil after carrying out felling did not produce better results at Giwain where overhead shade was more. The results of these experiments have been discussed in detail in the present paper.Keywords

This paper describes the role of traditional ecological knowledge and wisdom of the Monpa tribe in the management of natural resources like water, soil and forest in the high altitudes of the Eastern Himalayas. The traditional water resource management practices are highly diversified and have multipurpose uses. People have developed irrigation system using gravitational force that check surface runoff and maintain the water table throughout the year. They have unique technique for pre-detection of the flash flood using water force. The traditional highland farming system is highly productive, sustainable and environment friendly. The wet paddy cultivation in high altitude valley and intercropping system in terrace cultivation has been described in detail. Both these systems ameliorate soil fertility and have no negative impact on environment. The forests are owned and managed by the community. People follow customary laws and traditions regarding collection of forest products. They follow traditional silvicultural practices for management of their forestland. They have strong religious belief on conservation of plants and animals. The sacred groves concept plays a significant role in this aspect. All these systems have been discussed in detail in present paper.- Status of Import of Wood in Punjab : do we Really Need that ?

Punjab is predominantly an agriculture state having over 85 per cent of its land area under agriculture crops. Large quantity of wood is being imported from abroad to meet the demand of construction sector, furniture units, truck body building units and sports goods industries. It has reduced the use of indigenous species considerably in these sectors. Of late, poplar and Eucalyptus plantations have been adopted by the farmers in a big way due to their large-scale use in plywood and veneer industries. At present the state is able to meet around sixty per cent of its annual demand of industrial wood from local production. The situation can be improved by providing certain incentives to the tree growers such as, financial loans at low interest rates, market support and even subsidies.- Status of Collection, Cultivation and Marketing of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants in Pithoragarh, Uttaranchal

The status of collection, cultivation and marketing of medicinal and aromatic plants was studied in Pithoragarh District of UttaranchaI. The primary information was collected as per structured questionnaires from collectors/cultivators belonging to twelve villages spread over two blocks namely Munsiyari and Didihat. The important species being collected were observed to be Jhula, Reetha and Tejpat. The cultivators seem to be growing greater quantities of Atees, Gudhvach, Indrayan, Jambo, Jatamansi, Kalajeera, Kutki, Pashanbhed, Reetha, Same va and Tejpat. The most favoured market channel was observed to be Producer Middlemen Trader Consumer which was being adopted by 50% collectors and 90% cultivators. The producer's share in consumer's rupee in case of collection varied between 45.76.47% for different species with an average of 56.22%. Similarly the producer's share in consumer's rupee for cultivated species varied between 32.67- 89% with an average of 60.88%. The paper also discusses thc recent changes introduced by Uttaranchal Govt. in markcting of these medicinal and aromatic plant species.- Economics of Cultivation of some Commercially Important Medicinal Plants

Agro technologies for cultivation of a number of medicinal plant species have been developed but large-scale cultivation on farmlands is yet to begin. Amongst other causes for this gap, lack of reasonably correct information on economics of cultivation of these species is one important cause. The economics of cultivation of five medicinal plant species, viz., Kalmegh, Buch, Safed musli, Ashwagandha and Akarkara was studied on farmer's field in Haryana. The net benefits calculated for each species were also subjected to sensitivity analysis in relation to fall in price by 25%, 50%, 75% increase in wage rate by 10%, 20%, 30% and increase in rental value of land by 20%, 40% & 60%. The results showed that maximum net benefits of Rs 36,140 and Rs. 19,016 per acre could be received by cultivation of Safed musli and Kalmegh respectively. The cultivation of Kalmegh and Ashwagandha were observed to be more resilient to the adverse factors of price fall, increase in wage rate and rental value of land, compared to other species. On the basis of initial investment involved and resilience to adverse market conditions, the cultivation of Kalmegh and Ashwagandha is recommended for small farmers. The large farmers who can afford greater risk may cultivate Buch and Safed musli and Akarkara for higher returns.- Recreation Value of Fri Estate - an Application of Travel Cost Method

FRI estate spread over an area of around 450 ha in the sylvan surroundings of the Doon valley offers opportunities for recreation not only to the local population but also to the tourists from far off places. The estate is visited by 55-60,000 visitors on an average per year. The FRI main building, an impressive edifice of the Greco-Roman and Oriental architecture spread over a plinth area of 2.5 ha, with the outer Himalayas forming its backdrop is the main attraction for the visitors. This colonial era piece of architecture is probably the most photographed building in the Dehra Dun city. The building houses six forestry museums, a Xylarium with 18,000 specimens and a world class herbarium with 3,30,000 specimens. The study was carried out to estimate recreational benefits; the society derives from the FRI estate by application of Travel Cost Method. A recreational value of Rs. 27.10 per visit was obtained and when extrapolated to the total number of visitors, the recreational benefits from FRI estate have been estimated to be Rs. 16,26,190/-.- Medicinal Plants Sector in Arunachal Pradesh - an Overview

The worldwide concern over global warming led to the formation of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1992 to deal with GHG emissions. As per the Kyoto protocol of 1997 , the industrialized countries are expected to reduce the GHG emissions by 5.5% by 2008-12 over 1990 levels. Such countries are expected to buy carbon credits from developing countries under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). Global negotiations are on for operationalisation of the CDM mechanism. Afforestation and reforestation have already been included under CDM , and forest conservation activities are also likely to be considered under adaptation measures. A study was carried out to estimate the creation of carbon sinks and sequestration achieved in community-protected forests of Sambalpur Forest Division , Orissa. The results have shown that 1.53 to 3.01 tonnes of carbon is being sequestered per ha per year with only protection , which can be enhanced through proper implementation of the management prescriptions. Enormous opportunities exist to sequester carbon and to mitigate climate change patterns through regeneration in India's forests.- Evaluation of Seed Viability of Phoebe goalparensis Hutch. by Tetrazolium Tests

Arunachal Pradesh joined the JFM stream in October, 1997 by a resolution being passed by the State Government. At present about 10 projects are being implemented under this scheme in different parts of the State. However, looking at the vast geographical area, unsettled status of land, low human population, community ownership and customary laws, the whole concept requires a review specially in North-Eastern States. In the present paper an effort has been made to analyse the problems and prospects of JFM implementation in Arunachal Pradesh.- Bambusa manipureana and Dendrocalamus manipureanus Two New Species of Bamboo from Manipur, India

The paper reports study on carbon sequestration potential and cost effectiveness of tree growing operations on farm lands of Rupnagar District of Punjab. Project based-comprehensive mitigation analysis process (PRO-COMAP) was used to estimate the sequestration potential between 2005 and 2030. The results show that there is a potential to sequester 821,961 tons of carbon during the period of analyses on farm lands of Rupnagar. The whole of this potential could be achieved at a negative cost where non-carbon revenue is sufficient to offset the direct costs. Agroforestry options seems to be attractive for the district as large number of farmers and land area is dedicated to agriculture, supported by availability of irrigation facilities and high productivity of land. The development of agroforestry, however, faces certain barriers due to unorganized markets, poor technical and financial support and lack of extension activities by the Government, which must be addressed before the mitigation activity is undertaken.- Nursery Techniques of Bamboo - Standardization of Planting Method

The vegetative propagation of Dendrocalamus strictus, D. membranaceus, D. hamiltonii, Bambusa tulda and B. bambos through seedlings proliferation have been studied by raising the seedlings in nursery beds with a view to reduce the nursery period to obtain massive production of tiller/rhizomes in a single phase of separation of seedlings. The results indicated that by separation of saplings through macro-proliferation after a span period of four months approximately four times of culms (tillers) and five times of rhizomes are produced in Dendrocalamus strictus, D. membranaceus, D. hamiltonii and Bambusa tulda from mother stock. The performance of Bambusa bambos is even better (5 times of culms and 6 times of rhizomes per sapling were obtained) by raising the seedlings in nursery bed by adopting better nursery practices.- Vegetative Propagation of Panax Species (Ginseng) in Arunachal Pradesh

Neem now needs a distinct approach, other than conventional ones meant for general forestry species. Farming sector, realising the complete potential of neem as beneficial plantation species to be brought under intensive culture, will demand for systematic insights into the silvicultural methods. Practices prevalent in other trees of semi-arid ecosystem, reared for fruit only, would offer enough base to start systematic studies. Market demand at global, national and regional level for an ecofriendly biopesticide can accommodate any amount of Neem oil and value added products. Ecological benefits will come as natural intangible returns. Development of pomological procedures to arrive at better and abundant yield of neem seeds will strengthen quality neem oil production, ultimately lead to the self-sustaining plant health in all food crops.- Carbon Sequestration Potential of Selected Plantation Interventions in Terai Region of Uttarakhand

Selected afforestation and reforestation interventions have been studied in the Terai region of Uttarakhand with the objectives to assess their carbon sequestration potential, and cost-effectiveness exclusive and inclusive of carbon benefits. The excel spreadsheet model "Project Based Comprehensive Mitigation Assessment Process" was employed to workout the annual incremental carbon sequestration, cost effectiveness indicators and likely benefits under different carbon price scenarios for each selected afforestation and reforestation intervention. The results have shown a wide range of sequestration potential, which varied from 0.74 tC/ha/yr in case of amla block plantation to 2.34 tC/ha/yr for Triphala block plantation, calculated for the assessment period 2008-38. However, for the 'with wood products' scenario, the maximum sequestration potential was observed for poplar block plantation (2.41 tC/ha/yr), closely followed by Eucalyptus block (1.73 tC/ha/yr), while teak block plantation showed sequestration potential of 1.50 tC/ha/yr. Among the selected plantation interventions under 'without wood products' scenario, Triphala block, NTFP block, and NTFP bund were observed to be associated with maximum carbon benefits, viz., Rs. 1976/-, Rs. 1841/- and Rs. 1518/- per ha per year respectively. The study has demonstrated that plantation interventions involving NTFP species associated with appreciable recurring non-carbon benefits are more likely to succeed as afforestation and reforestation CDM project interventions compared to fast growing commercial tree species, viz., popular and Euealyptus on furmlands.Keywords

In Sukhna Wildlife Sanctuary, Chandigarh the enumeration of vegetation was conducted during 2005 at five different sites, i.e. Lattwala, Bolianwala, Miyapur Ka Khet, Barotawala khet and Kansal. The results revealed that five sites yielded a total of 2720 stems and 25 species of trees ≥ 30 cm cbh with different combination of dominant and co-dominant species. Acacia catechu was dominant at Lattwala, Bolianwala and Kansal sites, Acacia nilotica ssp. indica at Miyapur Ka Ket and Dalbergia sissoo at the Barotwala site. The total tree basal area among the five sites ranged from 7.28 to 26.50 m2 ha and total density varied from 280 to 1020 stems/ha. Carissa opaca and Murraya koenigii were the common shrub species in all the sites. The density of shrub layer among the sites varied from 3.0 to 2 13.05 stems/9m2. Remarkable difference was observed in the composition of herbaceous flora including grasses. Both herb and grass species among the sites varied from 7 to 64 and 1- 26, respectively. The density value oscillated between 7.90 and 69.10 stems/m2 for herbs and 0.22 and 146.93 2 tillers/m2 for grasses. The diversity indices suggest that the Kansal site had greater diversity in all stratums except sapling layer.Keywords

An attempt has been made in this paper to estimate the economic value of the goods and services provided by the forests of the country. The total economic value has been estimated at 6.96 lakh crore annually, which is approximately 6.86% of the GDP and represents the bare minimum approximate values of goods and services generated by forests. Valuation of certain services such as waste treatment, biodiversity, cultural and traditional values of trees and forests could not be assessed due to lack of proper methodologies; therefore the total value may be even higher than what has been projected in this paper.Keywords
