The influence of seed size and weight on seed germination behaviour and development of Acer oblongum, Kydia calyciana, Terminalia tomeutosa, T. belerica, T. chebula have been investigated. Heavy and large seeds of T. belerica and A. oblongum performed better in term of germination pattern while T. belerica and T. tomentosa gave better results in term of seedling development after 3 month and 6 month respectively.

The present study was carried out in Banju Nami Tok sacred grove situated in village Chachganda of district Tehri to describe the role of small sacred groves dedicated to local deities in conservation. The grove covers an area of less than two hectares. This grove is dominated by Quercus leucotrichophora which is the only remnant of this species around 2 few km within that vicinity. In the present study 28 plant species which includes 12 tree, 5 shrub and 10 herb species belonging to 19 families were recorded. These plant species have different economic values like medicinal, edible, timber, oil and dye yielding and are used for making furniture, constructive timber and agricultural implements. Asteraceae and Lamiaceae families represent the maximum number (3 each) of species. This grove provides different ecosystem services in the form of water, soil conservation and beautification of village.Keywords

The present study was an attempt to access the ecological status and influence of the socio-cultural heritage/ deities on conservation of Sem Mukhem temple landscape. The study reported 99 plant species representing 85 genera under 49 families. The recorded flora includes 23 tree, 34 shrub and 42 herb species. The species like Quercus floribunda, Quercus leucotrichophora, Berberis asiatica, Berberis aristata, Perilla frutescens and Achyranthes bidentata were dominant among different life forms. The Shannon and Simpsons diversity indices recorded for tree layer was (2.42) and (0.13) whereas for shrubs it was (3.24) and (0.05) respectively. Contagious pattern of distribution was observed for all the tree, shrub and herb species. Out of 23 tree species, 18 species were found at saplings stage, whereas only 11 showed survival at seedling stage. The temple located in the landscape is of Lord Krishna and different myths do exist among the surrounding communities. This landscape has preserved the socio-cultural heritage of the region and has kept intact local rituals in spite of growing modern culture, urbanization and other developmental activities around the region.Keywords

The present study was carried out to understand the fuelwood resource use pattern by semi-nomadic pastoralist community (Van Gujjar) and adjacent villagers in and around Corbett Tiger Reserve, Uttarakhand, India. A total of nineteen settlements of Van Gujjars and fourteen adjacent villages were surveyed. Overall average fuelwood consumption of Van Gujjars community was found higher than adjacent villagers. But the average per capita fuelwood consumption of adjacent villagers was found higher than Van Gujjars. The fuelwood consumption by both communities was 1584.1 t dm and the observed total deforested wood was found 833.73 m3, which leads to the emission of various green house gasses. Inaccessibility of the area, lack of communication, high prices and a limited supply of alternative source of energy are largely responsible for the total dependence on nearby forests for fuelwood, fodder and other life supporting demands.Keywords
