This book was released on 2013-10-21 with total page 828 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North-East India, comprising the seven contiguous states around Assam, the principal state of the region, is a relatively unknown, yet very fascinating region. The forest clad peripheral mountains, home to indigenous peoples like the Nagas, Mizos and the Khasis, the densely populated Brahmaputra valley with its lush green tea gardens and the golden rice fields, the moderately populated hill regions and plateaus, and the sparsely inhabited Himalayas, form a unique mosaic of natural and cultural landscapes and human interactions, with unparalleled diversity. The book provides a glimpse into the region’s past and gives a comprehensive picture of its physical environment, people, resources and its economy. The physical environment takes into account not only the structural base of the region, its physical characteristics and natural vegetation but also offers an impression of the region’s biodiversity and the measures undertaken to preserve it. The people of the region, especially the indigenous population, inhabiting contrasting environments and speaking a variety of regional and local dialects, have received special attention, bringing into focus the role of migration that has influenced the traditional societies, for centuries. The book acquaints the readers with spatial distribution, life style and culture of the indigenous people, outlining the unique features of each tribe. The economy of the region, depending originally on primitive farming and cottage industries, like silkworm rearing, but now greatly transformed with the emergence of modern industries, power resources and expanding trade, is reviewed based on authentic data and actual field observations. The epilogue, the last chapter in the book, summarizes the authors’ perception of the region and its future.

Book Synopsis Plant Biodiversity, Ethnobotany and Anthropogenic Interventions of Western Ghats Forests – Saputara and Purna by : Dr. Rita N. Kumar
Download or read book Plant Biodiversity, Ethnobotany and Anthropogenic Interventions of Western Ghats Forests – Saputara and Purna written by Dr. Rita N. Kumar and published by Google Book Publishers. This book was released on with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biodiversity most commonly refers to the number and variety of distinct organisms (species) living on the Earth. Biological variety encompasses all life forms on earth including species of plants, animals and microorganisms and the ecosystem and ecological processes. Biodiversity stands for the number, variety and variability of living organisms. Biodiversity areas are featuring outstanding concentrations of species, and experiencing incomparable loss of habitat. It was observed recently that the present 25 hotspots of the world have been raised to 34 hotspots with a new list of 9 new hotspots in the great range of the Himalayas and the island nation of Japan. In general, the 34 important areas once covered 15.70% of the Earth’s land surface. In total, 86% of the hotspots have already been destroyed, such that the intact remnants of the hotspots now cover only 2.30% of the Earth’s land surface. These areas together, now cover 1.4% of the land on the Earth. Tropical forests appear in 15 hotspots, Mediterranean-type zones in 5 and 9 hotspots are majorly of islands. 16 hotspots are in tropical area, about 20% of the human population lives in the hotspot regions. India is one of the leading hotspots in terms of endemics. The three hotspot of Biodiversity in India are i) Eastern Himalaya harbouring 9,000 species of plants with 3500 endemic species; ii) Western Ghats possessing 5800 plant species with about 2000 endemics; and iii) The Andaman and Nicobar Islands harbour about 83% endemic species. The Western Ghats of India extends upto 1,80,000 sq km, extraordinarily rich in biodiversity. The existing forests are highly fragmented and facing the prospect of increasing degradation. The Western Ghats cover the portion of the Gujarat, Maharashtra, Kerala, Karnataka and Tamilnadu. Keeping all these in minds, the present book Plant Biodiversity, Ethnobotany and Anthropogenic Interventions of Western Ghats Forests – Saputara and Purna covers an in-depth and systematic study of forest vegetation in terms of community structure analysis, qualitative community structure, quantitative community structure, ethnobotanical studies, and anthropogenic pressures in biodiversity rich forests (Saputara and Purna), a northern extreme regions of Western Ghats. The book would definitely be the need of an hour for forest managers, forest conservationists, policy makers, and decision authorities to prevent the unrestrained exploitation of forest biodiversity and resources, destruction of potential forested habitats, and uncontrolled interactions of man and technology with forest ecosystems of the world.
Book Synopsis Diversity and Dynamics in Forest Ecosystems by : Munesh Kumar
Download or read book Diversity and Dynamics in Forest Ecosystems written by Munesh Kumar and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-12-29 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a wealth of in-depth knowledge of forest ecosystems, this new volume explores a collection of important topics on forest community dynamics. It looks at the diversity of forest ecosystems and explores such aspects as forest products in enhancing local livelihoods and community participation, forage production, forest conservation and sustainable management, regeneration patterns, seed handling, and more. Chapters in Diversity and Dynamics in Forest Ecosystems present new research on forest products, livelihood generation mechanisms of forest-dependent communities, utilization patterns of untapped resources from forests, and the structure of different ecosystems from the tropical to the temperate landscape. This book also features different drivers of community dynamics, such as the role of seed handling in forests, the influence of altitudinal variations, and protected and community-conserved forests on the forest diversity. Chapters also consider the role of non-timber forest products and their significance in livelihood diversification for tribal communities and forage crop genetic resources, and forest resource extraction by forest fringe dwellers. Also explored are aspects of soil organic carbon in agroforestry systems and integrated approaches of sustainable agroforestry development in diverse forest ecosystems. This edition also examines the vegetation structure and regeneration aspects of timberline zone, including diversity of herbaceous flora along the altitudinal gradient. The abundance of in-depth knowledge of the diversity and dynamics of forest ecosystems in this volume will be valuable in conservation and management of forests, which play an important role in the world environment. Forests are presently facing multiple disturbances, and this volume will help forestry professionals and others formulate further strategies to mitigate global climate change and other challenges.

Book Synopsis Bioprospecting of Indigenous Bioresources of North-East India by : Jubilee Purkayastha
Download or read book Bioprospecting of Indigenous Bioresources of North-East India written by Jubilee Purkayastha and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is a comprehensive information on the indigenous bioresources of North Eastern India with the scope of bioprospecting for discovery and commercialization of new sources and products and long-term ecological balance. The exploration, conservation and sustainable utilization of bioresources of world’s Megabiodiversity Hotspots are undeniable. North Eastern India is a recognised biodiversity hot spot where the evolutionary forces are at its optimum, making this region as centre of origin for many species. Although little bit exploratory studies have been conducted in this part of the globe but a scientific exploitation of the bioresources is almost lacking. Unscientific exploitation and overexploitation without proper knowledge of the bioresources may lead to imbalanced ecosystem of this mega diversity region. At the same time, very less exploration and exploitation will hamper biodiversity based development. Today, unscientific dramatic changes are underway in this region. Human activities are changing, degrading and destroying the bioresources in an unplanned manner. Scientific bioprospecting of the bioresources will boost the economy while ensuring conservation. This book offers comprehensive information about various levels of bioprospecting of the gene pool of this Indo-Burma Mega Biodiversity Hot Spot, the North East India, which is endowed with huge biodiversity potential for exploration and exploitation for the benefit of humankind. Also, this book highlights the less and merely explored part of the indigenous biodiversity of North East India with explanation towards their better sustainable exploitation for benefit of the people, economy and environment. The novelty of the book lies in expert coverage of the bioresources of this mega-diverse region including plants, microbes, insects etc. with provisions for their sustainable scientific utilization. This book portrays North East India as a melting pot of bioresources which are little explored and also those resources which are still to be explored. The book mainly highlights the bioprospecting approaches for North East Indian bioresources, and thus, it make itself a unique one in filling the knowledge gap that is there regarding the bioprospecting of the biodiversity of this special region on the earth. The book concludes by the ecotourism potential of this region. The target audiences for this book include biodiversity economists who are working on technology and bioresource management issues, and especially on biotechnology and biodiversity, development economists addressing the issues of bioresources in developing countries. These people may be in academia, in government, in non-governmental organizations and in private companies. The other target audiences group is policy scholars in government/public sectors who are interested in issues of biotechnology, IPRs, and biodiversity. In addition, scholars/experts in both development studies and resource management studies form another group of target audiences. Also, the book will be useful for the interaction between developed and developing nations regarding the issues of biodiversity and bioprospecting, as North Eastern India is the hub of Biodiversity.
