75 different clones of Populus deltoides were screened in nursery stage under Eastern Indo-Gangetic conditions for recommending suitable clones for large-scale plantation in different Agro-forestry systems. Four commercial clones namely G3, G48, D121 and Udai were treated as check and these were compared with the rest of the clones. Eleven best clones (D121, D124,82-26-5, 34-N, 40-N, 25-N, UD-36, UD-5502, 90-12, UD-6502 and UD-4707) are earmarked on the basis of independent culling methods of selection. Another set of 12 clones were closely followed to the first set of 11 best clones are also graded as potential clones. The field trials of promising clones have already been undertaken for selecting the site matched clones for commercial culture of Poplar in Eastern parts of Uttar Pradesh.

The composition of forest vegetation and community structure of Moist Bhabar and Tarai Sal forest were examined on four different aspects; namely, North-East, North-West, South-East and South-West, in District Pauri Garhwal to understand the growth behaviour of Shorea robusta individuals under different micro-climatic conditions. S. robusta was found dominating on all the aspects with maximum lVI, density, frequency and TBC values and has reflected regular and random distribution patterns. the highest TBC value of this species was recorded on NE facing slope (5009.04 cm2/100 m2 ) and the highest Cd value (0.4321) on SW facing slope, where minimum diversity persisted. On the other hand the lowest cd value (0.3115) was observed on SE aspect where maximum diversity existed. The maximum accumulation of organic matter was noticed on NE aspect (average value 1.510.61 %) due to occurrence of mature Sal stand.- Response of Organic and Chemical Fertilizers to the Establishment and Growth of Eucalyptus in Sodic Land of Uttar Pradesh, India

An experiment was, taken up to evaluate the relative efficiency of organic residues in the form of oil cakes and to compare the effect of chemical fertilizers and organic residues on the growth performance of Eucalyptus planted on sodic soil at Harkumau village in District Sultanpur of Eastern Uttar Pradesh (U.P.). Four oil cakes viz., Neem cake, Sunflower cake, Mahua cake and Mustard cake in different doses, along with FYM and chemical fertilizer were tested. When the effect of different organic cakes was compared with chemical fertilizer, maximum increase in height over chemical fertilizer treatment was observed in Neem cake 1.0 kg/pit (91.09 %) followed by Mustard cake 1.5 kg/pit treatment (82.57 %). However, the maximum increase in collar diameter over chemical fertilizers, was shown by Mustard cake 1.5 kg/pit treatment (674.49 %) followed by Neem cake 1.0 kg/pit treatment (368.72 %). In comparison to chemical fertilizer, the Neem cake 1.0 kg/pit treatment caused better survival (34.30 %) followed by Mahua cake 1.5 kg/pit treatment (32.76 %).- Influence of Shade and Moisture on Performance of Poplar Clones at Nursery Stage

The article presents an accoqnt of experiment carried out in Poplar Research Nursery of Forest Research Institute, Dehra Dun with the ohjective to assess the effect of nursery conditions on performance of eight clones of Poplar. It was quite prominently observed that survival, height and diameter, of all the Poplar clones under study, suffered severely due to heavy shade and high soil moisture conditions. Clone 3650 experienced maximum setback and the clone CIMA expressed minimum effect. The study also brought out that growth pattern of Poplar clones underges changes with alterations in nursery conditions.- Suitable Season of Planting Tree Species in Sodic Soils of Haryana

The article deals with the findings of a field experiment conducted in sodic soil (Natrustalf) of Kurukshetra Forest Division, Haryana, with the objective to determine the most suitable season for planting tree species in such problem soils. The study brought out that pre-monsoon is the most favourable season followed by post-monsoon season for planting tree species in such problem soils. Planting during monsoon, a normal silvicultural practice, was not suitable for these soils. Among the species tried, Tamarix articulata was most promising, but E. tereticornis and C. citrinus also performed satisfactorily.- Salt Affected Soils of Indo-Gangetic Plains

In order to develop technology for afforesting highly sodic wasteland soils, field experiment consisting of four soil management treatments with and without drainage channel on five species was laid out on sodic (pH 9.7, conductivity 1.3 ds/m) Revar soils of Kurukshetra Forest Division in Haryana. The study brought out that best results could be obtained with treatment M2, which consists of mixing original soil with 3 kg gypsum, 2 kg rice-husk, 50g urea (in three split doses), 50g single super phosphate, 25g muriate of potash, O.2g zinc sulphate and 5g BIIC. Amongst the species tried, P.chilensis was most promising followed by T.articulata and A.nilotica. P. pinnata survived but growth rate was very slow. A.lebbek was not found to be the suitable species for highly sodic soils. The observations are continuing.- Soils of South Kheri Forests of Uttar Pradesh

Eight different soils were recognized in South Kheri forests on the basis of diffence in their characteristics. The soils are developed on alluvial sediments and are more or less young with marks of pedogenesis either faint or lacking. Sand constitutes the bulk of the solum invariably with varying amounts of silt and clay in the pedons and manifest their properties accordingly. Grasses appear to be the initial colonizers of the depositional surfaces and with advancement in pedogenesis woodland replaced grasslands in the process or ecological succession. They do not appear to have atained equilibrium with their environments so far and are still in dynamic state.- Soil Characteristics of Chandars of Easters Uttar Pradesh

The soils of the grassy blanks, locally known as Chandars of the pilibhit and South Kheri forests were studied to sort out the salient differences in their characteristics in relation to associated vegetation. The growth of the supported vegetation was found to be related to organic matter and clay content. Where texture is comparatively heavier, indicative of high moisture retention capacity, with pronounced translocation of clay resulting into argillic horizon, and availability of nutrients is high, the invasion of grasses by Shorea robusla and Colebrookia oppositifoloa is apparent. The grasses are tbe early colonizers and not the retrograded stage of vegetation. The soils of the sites have heen classified as Typic Ustipsamment,Entic Haplumbrept.

Certain soils of Mussoorie forests under Deodar (Cedrus deodara) , Chir (Pinus roxburghii) and Oak (Quercus incana) were studied for their various physical, chemical and physicochemical attributes and classified in to four classes viz, Typic Hapludolls,Typic Dystrochrepts, Typic Argiudolls and Ruptic-Alfic Eutrochrepts. Typic Hapludoll, identified under Deodar and Oak were not much influenced by vegetation whereas Typic Dystrochrepts encountered uDder Deodar and Chir expressed higher order of interaction of vegetation on soil development. The soil development process of Typic Argiudolls found under Deodar were influenced by the vegetative cover in contrast to RuptiC-Alfic Eotrocbrepts under Chir cover.- Study of the Humus Forms in Some Ecosystems of Chakrata Forest (Dehra Dun) U.P., India

Special features of the soil organic materials, present in the forests of Chakrata Himalayas (U.P.) were studied in respect of their nature, distribution and type for the purpose of interpreting their suitability under various forestry management practices. The study indicates that the prevailing favourable conditions of these habitats viz. good aeration, balanced moisture supply, favourable temperature and easily decomposable litter along with fairly good nutrients reserve have given rise to a 'Orthirhizomull' type of 'Humus form' which is supposed to contain a stable c1ay-humus aggregations suitable for intensive cultivation and is least susceptilble to ground fires and fertility losses.- Vegetation Analysis of Woody Species of some forests of Chakrata Himalayas-india

A detailed phytosociological analysis of woody species of Chakrata forest at twelve different sites supporting seven tree species viz., Cedrus deodara, Pinus roxburghii, Picea smithlana, Pinus wollichiona, Quercus florihunda, Q. semicarpifolia and Abies pindrow was carried out. Their total basal cover varied between 1455 and 5672 cm2 100 m-2 and total density from 0.7 to 3.7 trees 100 m-2. The distribution pattern was random for most of the species. The species diversity was greatest in Pinus wallichlana forests followed by Quercus floribunda forests. However, the values of concentration of dominance, exhibited inverse relationship with the species diversity.- Forest Soil Characterisation with Reference to Clay Mineralogy and Natural Vegetation

Clay mineralogical characterisation of soils of four different natural vegetational sequences of South Kheri forest division has been attempted. Sand mineralogical analysis revealed that the soils have developed from the same source. Hence differences in their characteristics might have been triggered off by the diversity in their vegetative cover. Ellite was present in all the soils with different relative propositions. Vermiculite, mixed minerals and chlorite seem to be present in higher amount in Argiustolls, Haplustolla and Haplustalfs having more diversity in their natural vegetation. Ellite dominated in Ustochrepts under a purest and of Shorea robusta. More alteration of Ellite or neo-synthesis of vermiculite and chlorite seems to have taken in soils with comparitively wet soil moisture regims as evidenced from the natural groeth of moisture loving indicator species like Syzygium cumini and Terminalia alata.- Characterisation of Soils in Relation to Site Index of Eucalyptus Tereticornis

Variation in site index (S.I.) of 4-13 year old Eucalyptus plantations have been discussed in relation to physico-chemical characteristics of soil of Tarai Central Forest Division. S.I. ranged from 15.2 to 25.8 metres at an index age of 8 years. S.I. was generally higher in Aquolls and Udolls of lower peidmonts (Tarai) where soil characteristics associated with excessive wetness were observed. However, high pH due to distribution of CaCO3 throughout the profile affected site index adversely. Growth of Eucalyptus was the lowest in skeletal Haplustolls of upper peidmont (Bhabar) because of the presence of gravels and pebbles. Sandy texture of non-skeletal Haplustolls also seem to have lowered the S.I. in the transition zone between upper (Bhabar) and lower (Tarai) peidmonts. Roots were crinckled, twisted and bunchy in appearance indicating restricted distribution in skeletal soils.- Soil Characteristics and Quality Class of Sal (Shorea robusta) in West Dehra Dun Forest Division of U.P.

This investigation was undertake on Northern and Southern aspects of two ranges of hills separated by a narrow long valley. Sal (Shores robusta) is the predominant natural vegetation in the upper storey. Quality class of Sal ranged from 1.0 to 3.14 in Haplustalfs, 2.15 to 2.50 in Argiustolls and 1.86 to 2.30 in Haplustolls. Best quality class 1 of Sal was observed in Hapluatalfs on Northern aspect. However growth performance within a given level of taxa varied considerably mostly due to land and to some extent due to soil characteristics. In coarse loamy skeletal Udic Haplustolls and sandy skeletal Typic Udortha is, presence of gravels reduces the effective volume of soil which gets compensated to some extent due to deeder penetration of ischolar_mains but quality is next to Udic Haplustalfs. From morphological characteristics and evidences of phytocycling of Ca and Mg it seems that interactions of natural vegetation and soil development very considerably in different soils. Haplustalfs on Northern aspect which receive more solar radiation and where growth of vegetation is better represent more developed soils as compared to Southern aspects.- Soil Biosequences of a Forest Land of Dun Valley with Reference to its Vegetation

Interrelationship between the soils and vegetation have been discused in respect of a forest land of Dun Valley (U.P.) having sal (Shorea rabusta), teak (Tectona grandis) and miscellaneous species as its main vegetation. The soils under various types of vegetation differ marginally from one another at various levels. The soil under teak and miscellaenous species contain comparatively more available nutrients than soils under sal, which has otherwise sustained greater interaction by vegetation during the course of their development.- A Comparative Study of Saline-sodic, Sodic and Normal Soils in Relation to forest Growth of South Kheri Forest division, (U.P.)

A soils investigation was conducted in April. 1979 in some salt-affected and normal soils of South Kheri Forest division (U.P.) in order to compare (I) saline-sodie soils where all forest species have failed to grow, (ii) sodie soils having fair growth of some tolerant forest species, and (iii) Normal soils having good stand of natural sal forest. These soils vary widely in several morphological. Physical and chemical characteristics and accordingly, the forest species have shown varying growth response. In general, all forest species have failed to grow on CO3-CI type saline-sodic soils which are compact and indurated with cemented bed of CaCO3 (kankar) nodules mixed in clay pan, have drainage donditions very poor, pH>9.5, ESP>40 and EC> 4 m mhos/cm. Few lines on reclamation of these soils have also been suggested. Tendu (Diospyros tomentosa). Dhak (Butea monosperma) Mahus (Madlmca indica). Dudhi (Wrightia tomentosa). Jamun (Syzygium cumini) and Rohini (Mallotus philippinensis) are able to grow on CI-HCO3 type sodic soils having a maximum pH value 8.0. EC of saturation extract 4 m mhos/cm at 25°C and ESP 10 in top one metre deep soil but in subsoil tolerance of plants may go upto the values of pH 9.3, ESP 40 and EC 4. A good growth of sal (Shorea robbusta) is obtained in well drained nonsaline-nonsodic soils.- Soil Characteristics of Sal Forest-chander Ecotone in South Kheri

A comparative study of two sites, one representing the sal-chander and the other contiguous sal forest ecotone, was made in a part of South Kheri Forest Division, U.P. to determine the properties of the soils of the two sites, bring out the salient differences between them, and to establish hypothesis as to their origin. The study revealed that the soils of the two sites differ considerably in most of the physico-chemical properties and moisture characteristics. The soils of Chanders are of comparatively), recent origin and the grassy vegetation, perhaps the early colonizer, is the result of immaturity of the habitat possessed with unfavourable edaphic factors. Adjoining sal forest area is a habitat of mature edaphic sequence with better soil development and the invasion by sal from the periphery inwards indicates the progress of the succession form grassland to woodland.- Electrophoretic Fractionation and Characterization of Humic Acids of the Soils of Doon Valley under Sal (Shorea robusta)
