Structure, Composition, and Regeneration Status of Trees in Non-protected Forests of Eastern Himalaya
Aditya Pradhan, Sarala Khaling Tropical Ecology | February 27, 2024 In the socio-ecological landscapes of tropical mountains, including the highly diverse Eastern Himalaya, fragments of natural forests have been traditionally managed as part of different agriculture systems. Recent studies have recognized their role as important biodiversity repositories outside protected areas. However, basic information on forest […]
Nature’s Contribution to Poverty Alleviation, Human Wellbeing and the SDGs
Anamika Das, Sharachchandra Lele, Siddappa Setty R. Scientific Data | February 22, 2024 Millions of households globally rely on uncultivated ecosystems for their livelihoods. However, much of the understanding about the broader contribution of uncultivated ecosystems to human wellbeing is still based on a series of small-scale studies due to limited availability of large-scale datasets. […]
Impacts of climate change on the distribution of Phyllanthus emblica Linn across Southeast Asia: identifying critical variables that determine the distribution of a medicinally important tree
E. Geethika, G. Ravikanth & R. Siva Tropical Ecology | February 20, 2024 The demand for the fruits of Phyllanthus emblica, an important tree species with a long history of medicinal use, has risen tremendously in recent years. The rapid decline in the distribution of the species can be attributed to habitat loss, climate change, […]
