Tree diversity, distribution and regeneration in major forest types along an extensive elevational gradient in Indian Himalaya: Implications for sustainable forest management

Shiekh Marifatul Haq et al.

Summary: Elevation plays a crucial role in determining the diversity and distribution of forest tree species in mountainous landscapes. This study in the Indian Himalaya region found that tree species richness decreases with increasing altitude, with four distinct forest communities identified based on distribution patterns. Abies pindrow showed the highest regeneration performance at higher elevations.

Evaluation of ecosystem carbon storage in major forest types of Eastern Himalaya: Implications for carbon sink management

Anudip Gogoi et al.

Summary: The study focuses on estimating ecosystem-level carbon stocks and factors influencing carbon stocks in major forest types of the eastern Himalayan region in India. Significant variations were found in carbon stocks among different forest types. Vegetation, soil, deadwood, and litter were identified as main components of ecosystem carbon stocks, with strong correlations observed with factors like species diversity, tree density, and soil moisture content.

Assessment and prediction of carbon sequestration using Markov chain and InVEST model in Sariska Tiger Reserve, India

Deepakshi Babbar et al.

Summary: The study evaluates carbon sequestration based on total carbon change in different scenarios, showing significant carbon loss in the forest area of Sariska Tiger Reserve. Recommendations for afforestation and forest management practices to mitigate carbon loss are proposed, along with the importance of improving access to cleaner energy sources for effective carbon sequestration and potential involvement of the renewable energy industry and government.

Global maps of twenty-first century forest carbon fluxes

Nancy L. Harris et al.

Summary: Global forests have been a net carbon sink over the past two decades, with an estimated annual net carbon uptake ranging from -7.6 +/- 49 GtCO(2)e. The study integrates ground and Earth observation data to map forest-related greenhouse gas emissions and removals globally, aiming to support the development of climate policies. This geospatial monitoring framework introduced in the research aims to promote consistency and transparency in climate policy development.

Carbon stock potential in Pinus roxburghii forests of Indian Himalayan regions

Munesh Kumar et al.

Summary: This study assessed the carbon stock potential of chir pine forests in different altitudes of the Himalayan region, highlighting tree density and growth patterns as key factors influencing total carbon stocks; litter production was found to have an inverse relation with altitude.

Long-Term Impact of Transhumance Pastoralism and Associated Disturbances in High-Altitude Forests of Indian Western Himalaya

Shiekh Marifatul Haq et al.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of nomadic settlements on plant species composition, ecosystem properties, and fire incidence in high-altitude forests of Western Himalaya, India. Significant differences were found between different forest types, emphasizing the importance of managing nomadic settlements for the sustainable development of forest mountainous regions.
