Van panchayat is a self-initiated forest protection group in Uttarakhand.
Village communities of Uttarakhand have been involved in forest management and forest protection known as Van Panchayats (VPs).
Nutrient cycling in soil is mainly through inputs from aboveground and belowground biomass. Belowground litter resulting from the mortality of fine roots (≤ 2 mm in diameter), contributes to a significant degree of nutrient and carbon transfer from the atmosphere to the soil. Moreover, the belowground C pool, where C is stored as soil organic matter, accounts for 60-70 % of the total forest ecosystem C, exceeding the aboveground C pool in forest ecosystems. Since root production has been suggested to contribute about half of the carbon being cycled annually in many forests and 33% of the global annual net primary production, obtaining accurate estimates of belowground biomass are important. Therefore, there is a need to better understand some of the aspects of root development and life cycle that might influence below-ground carbon stock turnover.
Roots can respond to both internal and external controls (e.g. temperature, soil resources, and water availability). Root lifespan has important implications on plant growth, competition and belowground carbon dynamics and nutrient cycling. No single technique has been accepted universally as the best for studying fine roots. Controversy exists on the best methods to use (direct or indirect approaches) for estimating the biomass and production of fine roots at an ecosystem level in forests. However, till the development of a totally independent method to determine actual root biomass certain indirect methods need to be used with caution. Fine root production (FRP) is influenced by various biophysical factors such as CO2 concentration, soil depth, stand management, species composition, stand age, season, soil nutrients, soil pH, tree basal area etc. For instance, it is reported that CO2 enrichment has increased plant demand for nutrient acquisition and consequent high FRP in many forest ecosystems. Roots also proliferate in water zones, and greater root production at depth may also occur in response to increased tree water use under elevated (CO2). Fine root production is highly influenced by soil depth. For instance, FRP in surface soil was 4.5 times higher as compared with subsurface layer. Fine root production is also influenced by forest disturbances. Studies revealed that mild to moderate disturbances of tropical moist forests had a significant negative effect on total fine root biomass and carbon fluxes associated with root production. Fine root biomass and fine root production were strongly correlated with canopy cover and basal area of the stands, whereas soil physical or chemical conditions were of secondary importance. As of now, information on the fine root production and its dynamics is very much limited for most of tropical woody ecosystems and there is genuine need to undertake research in this line.

Now on the way to understand the aba signaling , the initial task is to identify and uderstand the proteins that receive the aba signal and initiate signaling cascade. The ABA receptors interacted with and inhibited PP2C phosphatase activity against the SnRK2-type kinase, releasing active SnRK2 kinase to phosphorylate, and activate the SLAC1 channel, leading to reduced guard cell turgor and stomatal closure.

2016 MOOC to Blended; pedagogies & personalised learning Inge de Waard
Slide deck providing an overview of MOOC & blended learning. Including personalized, social and individual learning benefits. This deck provides an overview of the pedagogies used by iMinds to design courses that strengthen professional learners. Practical guidelines and theoretical frames are described briefly.
I recently had the honour of speaking at the EdTechXEurope summit which was held in London on June 16th, 2016. I was part of a panel of 4 experts invited to talk about "Trends to Watch in 2016", where we all explored trends that are shaping the future of education. My focus was MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) with a presentation entitled "The Power of MOOCs".
These slides formed part of my presentation.

Storytelling has become one of the hottest topics in marketing, but what makes a great story, and how can marketers harness storytelling to build stronger, more successful brands?
