Biodiversity declines with increasing distance from the equator, such that tropical regions near the equator harbor more species than temperate or polar regions further from the equator. This pattern is demonstrated by countries like Colombia, located near the equator, having over 1400 bird species, compared to places like New York at 41°N only having 105 bird species. Tropical forests at the equator can have ten times more vascular plant species than forests of equal area in temperate regions. This distribution of species can be studied under latitudinal gradients and species-area relationships.

Silviculture iof (silviculture system)
Silvicultural systems are methods of harvesting, regenerating, and tending forests. The two main types are high forest systems and coppice systems. High forest systems regenerate from seedlings and have long rotations, while coppice systems regenerate from stumps and have short rotations. Some common high forest systems include clearfelling, seed tree, shelterwood, and selection systems. Clearfelling removes the entire mature crop at once, while shelterwood and seed tree methods remove trees gradually to allow for natural regeneration under shelter. Selection systems involve uneven-aged management with continuous regeneration throughout the forest area.
Social Forestry in India
Social forestry is a concept involving management and conservation of forests with community participation.
OVERVIEW OF NTFP
This document provides an overview of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) from a national and international perspective. It defines NTFPs and provides a classification system categorizing them by plant or animal origin. The document discusses India's current NTFP scenario, national forest policy regarding NTFPs, issues in their management and marketing. It analyzes international trade data for several commodities, such as pine nuts, jujube fruits, mushrooms, oils, rattan, and bamboo. The document concludes by outlining constraints in NTFP marketing in India and their potential to provide sustainable incomes and livelihoods.
Global pattern of biodiversity
Biodiversity refers to genetic, species, and ecosystem variation within a specific area or planet. It is measured by both species richness, the number of species, and evenness, the number of individuals belonging to each species. Several factors influence biodiversity patterns, including geological history, climate, resource availability, and competition. The tropics generally have the highest species diversity due to high productivity, complex habitat structures, and survival of fragments during past climate changes. Both random processes and necessity, through competition and interaction laws, along with historical factors shape current species diversity patterns in a given location.
Distribution in global pattern of biodiversity
Biodiversity varies based on latitude and altitude, with the most biodiversity found in the tropical regions near the equator and decreasing as one moves further north or south in latitude or to higher altitudes up mountains. Specifically, biodiversity is lowest in the Arctic, moderate in temperate regions, and highest in the tropics between 23.5 degrees north and south latitude, while biodiversity also decreases with increasing altitude as temperature decreases the higher one goes. The document discusses these latitudinal and altitudinal gradients in biodiversity as major global patterns.
Biodiversity and its conservation
This document provides an overview of biodiversity, its importance, threats, and conservation. It discusses key topics such as what biodiversity is, why it is important both intrinsically and for human well-being through ecosystem services, major threats like habitat loss and climate change, biodiversity hotspots, and methods of conservation including protecting habitats in situ and ex situ conservation. The overall message is that biodiversity is essential to life on Earth but facing severe threats, so conservation efforts are needed to protect species and ecosystems.
Silviculture system FOR201
This document discusses various silvicultural systems used in forest management. It begins by defining silvicultural systems and classifying them based on regeneration methods. The main types discussed are high forest systems, which regenerate from seedlings, and coppice systems, which regenerate from stumps. High forest systems include clearcutting, shelterwood, seed tree, and selection methods. Coppice systems include simple coppice and coppice with standards.

Community ecology...1
Community ecology is the study of the interactions between species within a biological community. A community is defined as an assemblage of plant and animal species that occur together in a specific habitat. Characteristics of a community include species diversity, dominance by one or a few species, trophic structure consisting of producers, consumers, and decomposers, and successional changes over time. Communities can be classified and analyzed based on quantitative characteristics like frequency, density, and cover, and qualitative characteristics like physiognomy, phenology, and stratification. Ecotones form transitional zones between two adjacent communities, and the biological spectrum indicates the distribution of life forms in a community.

Convention on Biodiversity (CBD)
The document provides information about the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). It discusses that CBD is an international treaty with the goals of conservation, sustainable use, and fair and equitable sharing of genetic resources. CBD has 196 parties and aims to achieve the Aichi Biodiversity Targets. The Conference of Parties (COP) is CBD's governing body that meets every two years to review progress. CBD also has two protocols on biosafety and access to genetic resources. Sustainable use of biodiversity and fair benefit sharing from genetic resources are important principles of CBD.
Endemism
The document discusses species endemism and hotspots of endemism. It defines endemism as species that are unique to a defined geographic location and not found elsewhere. Areas with high rates of endemic species include islands, mountains, and regions like Madagascar, Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, and South Africa. However, many of these endemism hotspots are experiencing high rates of habitat destruction. The document also notes that protecting just 1.4% of the world's land containing hotspots could preserve 44% of vascular plants and 35% of terrestrial vertebrates, but these areas contain 20% of the human population and face threats from development.
NTFP: VALUE ADDITION AND IT’S IMPACT ON RURAL LIVELIHOOD
This document discusses non-timber forest products (NTFPs) and their value addition in rural livelihoods. It covers NTFP classification, trade in Southeast Asia, supply chains, processing techniques for honey, lac, amla, tendu leaves, sal leaves, and others. Value addition through products like honey processing, lac sheets, amla murabba helps stabilize incomes and provides opportunities. However, issues include exploitation by traders, lack of market information and government support, and environmental impacts if not sustainably harvested. The document suggests promoting sustainability, empowering communities, and ensuring benefits are shared.
Biodiversity and its Conservation
Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth at all levels, from genes to ecosystems. High levels of biodiversity are important for ecosystem functioning and human well-being. However, biodiversity is being lost due to threats like habitat loss, overexploitation, pollution, and climate change. Conservation approaches include protected areas as well as international agreements like CITES and the Convention on Biological Diversity, which aim to protect threatened species and ecosystems.
Tree breeding methods
Tree breeding is the application of genetic principles to improve the traits of forest trees. It involves selecting superior trees, known as plus trees, for traits like growth, form, and disease resistance. Progeny of plus trees are tested in progeny tests and seed orchards established to produce improved seed for planting. Tree breeding techniques include selection, hybridization, progeny testing, and use of seed orchards. The long generation times of trees require accelerated breeding approaches like vegetative propagation to shorten breeding cycles. Modern techniques also include use of micropropagation and genetic engineering. Tree breeding aims to develop trees with improved traits for yield, quality and stress resistance to enhance forest productivity.
HOT SPOTS OF BIODIVERSITY
Biodiversity hotspots are biogeographic regions with significant biodiversity that is threatened by humans. There are 25 hotspots identified worldwide based on having many endemic species and facing severe threats. Two of the hotspots are in India: the Western Ghats and Himalayan regions of northeast India and Myanmar. These hotspots are rich in endemic plant and animal species like reptiles, amphibians, insects and mammals. However, only a small percentage of the total land in biodiversity hotspots is currently protected.
Biodiversity and Hot spots
It contains definition types ,values,list of hot spots and ten most endangered animals and plants in the world.
Tree forms
Tree form refers to the shape and taper of a tree stem from base to tip. Several theories attempt to explain tree form, with Metzger's beam theory receiving the most acceptance. It models the tree stem as a cantilever beam resisting wind forces. Form ratios like the form factor and form quotient are used to classify tree form based on the ratio of a tree's volume to a reference geometric shape or the diameter at different heights. Taper equations try to model stem taper as a function of variables like diameter and height to predict diameter at any point on the stem.

Forest dynamics
Forest dynamics helps to understand several succession methods and to know about stand structure and development with forest based models like FORMIND, FORMIX, GRASMIND etc.,
Red list categories
Species are organisms that can breed and produce fertile offspring. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classifies species into different categories based on extinction risk. The IUCN Red List evaluates thousands of species and subspecies to convey the urgency of conservation and help reduce extinction. Species are classified into groups including Extinct, Critically Endangered, Endangered, Vulnerable, Near Threatened, Least Concern, Data Deficient, and Not Evaluated based on population decline, size, distribution and other risk factors.
Endemism by vimalpriya subramanian
This document discusses different types of endemism and theories of endemism. It defines endemism as species that live only in a particular location. There are two main types discussed - relic endemics which are ancient species restricted to few areas due to past climate changes, and neo-endemics which are recently formed species, often through hybridization. The age and area hypothesis proposes that older species have larger distributions while younger neo-endemic species have smaller ranges. Factors like isolation, mutations, and natural crosses can lead to the formation of new endemic species. Some examples of endemic plants in India are provided.
Loss of biodiversity
loss of biodiversity is the most important in biodiversity and conservation.it is useful to reduce the activities which are responsible for extinction and endangering of living organisms.

This document provides information about biodiversity in India. It defines biodiversity as the variety of life forms on Earth, including genetic diversity within species, between species, and between ecosystems. It describes the different types of biodiversity such as genetic diversity, species diversity, and ecosystem diversity. India represents two biogeographic realms, five biomes, ten bio geographic zones, and is home to two biodiversity hotspots - the Western Ghats and Eastern Himalayas. The document highlights the threats to biodiversity from habitat loss, pollution, and overexploitation, and discusses the importance of in situ and ex situ conservation efforts to protect biodiversity.
Biodiversity and conservation
Biodiversity knows no political boundaries and its conservation is therefore a collective responsibility of all nations. The historic Convention on Biological Diversity (‘The Earth Summit’) held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, called upon all nations to take appropriate measures for conservation of biodiversity and sustainable utilisation of its benefits. In a follow-up, the World Summit on Sustainable Development held in 2002 in Johannesburg, South Africa, 190 countries pledged their commitment to achieve by 2010, a significant reduction in the current rate of biodiversity loss at global, regional and local levels

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Patterns of biodiversity(introduction
- 1. •Biodiversity is in the form of a mosaic, varying greatly across the globe as well as within regions. Such a study is called BIOGEOGRAPHY
- 2. Species diversity declines with increasing distance from the EQUATOR (north or south) •Tropical region (Lat. Range -23.5°N to 23.5°S) harbors more species than the temperate or polar areas(Lat. Range -23.5°N to 66.5°N and 23.5°S and 66.5°S).
- 6. Colombia located near the Equator has 1400 species of bird INDIA located near the tropical latitude has 1200 species of birds Phillippines 13°N has 530 bird species New York 41°N has 105 species GreenLand 71°N has 56 species
- 7. Tropical Forests in the Equator has ten times more species of vascular plants when compared to the forest of equal area in a temperate region This pattern of distribution can be studied under 2 categories : I. Latitudinal Gradients II. Species –Area Relationship
