The present study was to determine the decomposition pattern of litter of Fraxinus excelsior and Ulmus villosa forests in different seasons in Dachigam National Park, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir. The pattern of litter decomposition seems to have been more by presence of micro organisms and favourable climatic conditions. There was about 22.7 gm weight loss in F. excelsior and 20.78gm in U. villosa with in 12 months of decomposition. 95% exponential rate of decomposition was 2.04 and 2.55 indicating faster decomposition in F. excelsior as compared to U. villosa.Keywords

The present study deals with quantification of litter production, monthly variation in Fraxinus excelsior and Ulmus villosa forests of Dachigam National Park, Jammu and Kashmir at an altitude of 1,600-1,750 m above msl. A study plot of 50 x 50m was selected in the two communities and litter collection traps were constructed of wooden frames. 15 litter traps were placed randomly in each study plot of the selected species for collection of the litter. The contents of traps was collected every month. The litter was separated in to leaves, twigs and bark. In Fraxinus excelsior total litter production was maximum in October (1855.26kg/ha) followed by November (1720kg/ha) and September (723kg/ha) with no litter production during the month of April and May. In Ulmus villosa, total litter production varied from 2.3kg/ha (April) to 1747.10 kg/ha (October).Keywords

The present study deals with traditional knowledge regarding utilization of ethnomedicinal plants for treating various diseases and ailments was collected by direct interviewing elderly learned and experienced knowledgeable resource persons who have traditional knowledge about these ethnomedicinal plants in the remote villages of Jhansi and Lalitpur district of Bundelkhnad, Central India. A total of 68 plant species in 64 genera and 36 families were used traditionally with various plant parts and their combination for the treatment of various ailments and diseases in the studied area. The highest number of ethnomedicinal plants was recorded in families Fabaceae having 12 plants species. Among all the plant habit, tree (25 plant species) was found to be the most used plant habit. Methods of preparation fall into eight categories viz., ash, infusion, decoction, extract, juice, paste, powder, and various fresh plant parts used directly. The flora of Jhansi and Lalitpur district of Bundelkhand region has immense pharmaceutical and commercial potential.Keywords

The present study was conducted for probability analysis of 17th years (1994-2010) with the prime objective for prediction of annual maximum rainfall of one to five consecutive months Sultanpur region. The maximum rainfall values were estimated by proposed prediction models viz., Gumbel, Log Pearson Type III and Log Normal. The predicted values were compared with observed values and correlation between the predicted and observed values was also established. Rainfall data had been in the above distributions and their corresponding rainfall events were estimated at 5.5, 11.5, 6.6, 33.3 and 50 per cent probabilities level. The goodness of fit models was tested by chi-square. The comparison between the measured and predicted maximum value of rainfall clearly shows that the developed model can be efficiently used for the prediction of rainfall. The statistical comparison by chi-square test for goodness of fit clearly indicates that the Gumbel distribution was found to be best model for predicting two, three, four and five consecutive months annual maximum rainfalls (mm) while Log Pearson types III are fairly close to observed for one and four consecutive months annual maximum rainfall (mm). Rainfall prediction by Log Normal distribution shows very close relation to the observed rainfall for one consecutive months annual maximum rainfall (mm).Keywords
