Study of downstream variation in channel morphology is very much important to understand the lifestyle, rhythm, melody, and dynamic ecstasy of a river. In the present study attempt has taken to detect the trend in some selected morphological elements and how they are related to each others. The results show that, total width, average slope, wetted width, etc. are marginally coinciding with normal principle (parameter value increases downstream), depth is reverse to normal principle because it increases downstream and slope decreases marginally with downstream distance. Some significant relationships between pair of morphological parameters at 99% significance level are Bank to bank width and Wetted width (Monsoon); Average Wetted Depth and Maximum depth monsoon; Maximum depth monsoon and Average depth, monsoon; Average depth, monsoon and Average depth, post monsoon; Maximum velocity, monsoon and Maximum velocity, post monsoon etc.Keywords

Anthropogenic activities like careless boating, diving, snorkeling, overfi shing, destructive fi shing practices and harvest of live corals for commercial purpose affect the integrity and ecosystem functions of coral reef. Urban and industrial waste, sewage, agrochemicals and oil spills are contaminating sea water, thereby, destroying corals and dependent taxa. Soil erosion due to various human activities augments river sediment content that settles in the ocean, increasing possibility to 'smother' corals by cutting off their sunlight. Dwindling mangrove forests, which normally trap large amounts of sediment, is magnifying the problem. Global warming has already led to increased levels of coral bleaching, and this is predicted to increase in frequency and severity in the coming decades. Thus, conservation strategies to reduce threat and restoration of degraded conditions needs to be prioritized to sustain ecosystem services derived from coral reefs. Stringent legislation to prevent contamination of sea water and reduced human interference around the coral reefs should be implemented instantly.Keywords

A total of 17 sacred groves were identified from Barjora (7), Saltora (7) and Chhatna (3) blocks of Bankura district. The largest sacred grove was reported with 0.4891 km2 at Kathia Babar Ashram in Barjora block. Total 58 trees were recorded from these three blocks of which 51 scientifically identified. Among them, 12 are important for their timber value, 16 for their food value, 17 having medicinal properties, 6 ornamental and 3 as sacred trees.Keywords

The aim of the study is to inventorise and portray the present status of sacred groves and sacred trees (SGs&STs) spreaded over the eastern bank of the river Hoogly of North 24 Parganas, West Bengal. Among 129 SGs and STs reported here, 84 SGs and STs are found as well maintained (65.1%) and followed by 29 irregularly maintained (24%) 15 deserted (11.6 %) and the rest one of occasional use. Among the eight municipalities, Naihati Municipality is carrying the maximum number of well maintained SGs and STs and Titagarh Municipality is accompanied with the highest number of deserted SGs and STs. All these sacred areas are under threat due to urbanization. Replacement with idols and concrete structures may lead to Traditional Conservation.Keywords

Medicinal plants are a source of naturally active compounds used extensively by tribal people worldwide for many ailments. Withania somnifera(WS) is one such plant used to treat many ailments from the time of Ayurveda. The dried ischolar_mains of Withania somnifera are widely used in the treatment of many disorders, the current investigation aimed at extraction and detection or screening of active phytochemical compounds from different extracts of Withania somnifera ischolar_main. From chemistry point of view, the drug contains group of biologically active constituents known as withanolides. The chemical structures of withanolides have been studied and they are widely distributed in family Solanacae. Phytochemical screening of different extractions revealed the presence of phenols, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, alkaloids, steroids, terpenoids, and glycosides which could account for its varied medicinal properties like anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-analgesic. The ischolar_main samples of Withania somniferaare used to examine the anti-bacterial activity against some pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. The anti-bacterial activity of the powder extract was done with Chloroform, methanol and petroleum ether. Petroleum ether extract showed minimum anti-bacterial activity followed by aqueous, chloroform and methanolic extract. In the present study, the free radical scavenging potential of three extracts of the ischolar_main of Withania somnifera was assessed by measuring its capability for scavenging 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Our study demonstrated that the three different extracts of Withania somnifera ischolar_main showed different level of antioxidant activity and is a potential source of antioxidants and thus could prevent many radical related diseases. In the present study, withaferin A (active component of Withania somnifera), a steroid lactone was examined for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties employing different experimental models in mice. The study was done to evaluate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity of the aqueous, methanolic, choloroform and petroleum ether extract of the ischolar_mains of Withania somnifera . The analgesic activity was studied using Eddy’s Hot Plate method in swiss albino mice and for anti-inflammatory investigation Carrageenan-Induced Paw Edema method was applied.

Forested patches with single tree to diverse forms of flora protected by the local people with some customary myths and taboos associated are called sacred groves (SGs). Removal of biological resources is strictly restricted from these isolated patches and thus SGs are playing a significant role in the conservation of biodiversity. Present communication reports on such sacred groves of Blocks Gangajalghati, Bikna and Onda in Bankura district of West Bengal from where 37 SGs are reported. Altogether, these 37 SGs hold a total of 46 plant species belonging to 24 families with various functional values. Of them, 24 are medicinally important, 13 produce timber, 3 are ornamental trees, 2 shade trees, 9 produce edible fruits, 2 are sacred trees and 20 species belong to the non-timber product (NTP) genre.Keywords

The taxonomic study of the family cerambycidae is very poor in Himachal Pradesh. Contributions of Breuning (1937, 1958, 1965), Beeson and Bhatia (1939), Basak and Biswas (1993), Mukhopadhyay (2011), Saha et al. (2013) were enriched the cerambycid fauna of this state. Later, few publications were made on other aspects than taxonomy of cerambycidae by Uniyal and Mathur (1998), Singh, and Verma (1998), Bhargava and Uniyal (2011). Therefore, an attempt has been taken to prepare a consolidated taxonomic account of the cerambycid species reported from the Himachal Pradesh. After consulting all the available literatures on Cerambycidae of India it is enumerate that, 37 species under 27 genera of 17 tribes belonging to 4 subfamilies of Crambycidae were reported from this state.Full Text

India, the highest producer of the beverage tea (Camellia spp), is not yet self-sufficient on edible oil production. A large portion of oils from secondary sources remains unexploited, which also includes the potentiality of oil production originating from trees. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the possibility of tree-borne oilseeds like tea. The crude fat (oil) was extracted from the dried cotyledons of matured tea seeds of eight different bi-clonal tea seed stocks of Assam, which were commercially maintained for propagation purposes. The oil content ranged from 10.75% to 26.84%. Acid values, iodine values, saponification values and specific gravity of oil were found to be in the range 1.01–1.22 (mg KOH/g), 72.94–94.91 (gI2/100g), 177.56–200.45 (mg KOH/g) and 0.82–0.88 g/cm3 respectively. The saturated and unsaturated fatty acids range in tea seed oil as determined by GC-MS was 2.21–20.3% and 79.97–97.79% respectively. The 50% 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity (IC50 values) of oils of different bi-clonal seed stocks ranged from 60.3 to 81.52 mg/ml. Identification of high level of oleic acid and linoleic acid in most of the tea seed stocks revealed better nutritional quality of tea seed oil. The present study indicates the future scope of tea seed oils as a commercial product in India.Keywords
