The size of the global forest carbon stock appears to be declining , thereby generating a net carbon source. While forest decline contributes to the build-up in atmospheric carbon , analysts widely agree that the primary cause of the build-up in atmospheric carbon is not attributable to land use changes , but rather is due largely to fossil fuel burning and its associated emissions. However , forestry can playa major role towards increasing the global carbon sequestration if the world's forest could be managed properly with due importance to afforestation and reforestation. Recognizing the role of forestry in carbon sequestration the 1997 Kyoto protocol specifically mentioned afforestation and reforestation as tools that can be used to reduce level of carbon dioxide from atmosphere.

Spectral characteristics of phyllodes associated with leaf position were investigated for fiveyear old A. auriculiformis trees. The spectral patterns for phyllodes were similar to true leaves. Overall absorptance was 88% with 7% reflectance and 3% transmittance. Phyllode at first position from the top of the branch showed lowest absorptance (83%) due to high reflectance and transmittance. Phyllodes at other positions did not show significant differences in their spectral patterns. Also both surfaces showed similar spectral properties indicating absolutely unifacial nature of two faces of A. auriculiformis phyllode.- Human Influence on Forests in Tripura

Tripura is a small hill State in the North-Eastern part of India. About 60 per cent of geographical area is forest land. The recorded forest area and actual forest cover have declined substantially over the years due to high rate of population growth. The per capita forest area has come down to 0.23 ha in 1991 from 1.38 ha in 1951. The State Government has taken up large scale plantations of forestry tree species and rubber. The Forest Department is under severe pressure to supply forest products and to protect the forests from illicit clearing and diversion of forest land for settlement and other developmental activities. The rate of deforestation is higher than the rate of afforestation. There is urgent need to check the population growth and to increase the plantation target per year with the people's cooperation and to develop alternative means for firewood and timber.- Behavioural Studies on Nicobar Crab Eating Macaques in Caprivity

Crab eating macaque, Schedule-I animal under WildLife (Protection) Act, 1972 is confined only to a few Islands of Nicobar group. Its feeding, drinking, running, fighting, grooming and tool-using behaviour have been studied.- Behavioural Studies on Andaman Green Imperial Pigeon in Captivity

Andaman green imperial pigeon is endemic to Andaman group of Islands and is kept under Schedule-I of Wildlife (Protection Act), 1972. Study has been made on its feeding behaviour, flying behaviour, drinking behaviour, nest building behaviour and preening behaviour.- Studies on the Constituents of Shells and Peduncles of Different Eco-races of Antheraea mylitta D

Shells and peduncles of nine eco-races viz., Raily, Daba TV, BOgal, Moonga, Modia, I.aria. Bhandara, Mandla and Jadai of Antheraea mylitta D. were analysed for the four constituents viz moisture, total nitrogen, total minerals and boil off loss. Results of analyses of variance reveal that the eco-race; differ significantly from each other in respect of all the four constituents of shells and peduncles. Considering inter-racial variations, mean values for all the constituents except boil off loss are higher in cocoon shells. Total nitrogen varies from 19.34% (Moonga) to 16.78% (Jadai) in cocoon shell. And from 17.82% (Railey) to 16.06% (I aria) In peduncles while total minerals content ranges between 6.00% (Raily) and 2.27% (Mandla) for shells and between 3.85% (Bhandara) and 0.823% (Raily) for peduncles. Similarly, boil of loss content varies from 21.15% (Bhandara) and 10.38% (Daba TV) in shells and from 36.01% (Raily) to 23.54% (Mandla) in peduncles. Cocoon shells and peduncles of Mandla eco-race have the hiehest moisture content (12.80% and 11.43%) and that of Raily eco-race the lowest (5.01% and 4.63%) respectively.- Foliar Constituents of Secondary Food Plants of Tasar Silk Worm Antheraea mylitta D.
