“…Species like M. longifolia, C. domestica, Z. officinale, O. tenuiflorum, A. capillus-veneris, Viola odorata, M. arvensis and Acorus calamus with high use-value are some of the most used medicinal plants in Kathua (Kumar and Bhagat, 2012;Bhushan and Kumar, 2013) as well as other mountainous regions of the state (Bhatia et al, 2014;Lone et al, 2014). M. longifolia and M. arvensis are used as a carminative, anti-spasmodic, antipeptic ulcer agent, cooling medicine, anti-diarrhoea and anti-gut spasmodic, and to treat indigestion and flatulence (Duke, 2002;Akram et al, 2011;Bhatia et al, 2014).…”

“…Due to this a number of researchers are attracted towards these regions to explore the ethnoveterinary (Sharma et al, 2012) and ethnomedicinal knowledge (Kumar and Bhagat, 2012;Bhushan and Kumar, 2013) possessed by the locals. Other ethnomedicinal studies (Sarin and Kapur, 1984;Virjee et al, 1984;Kaul et al, 1990;Siddique et al, 1995;Kirn et al, 1999;Kant and Sharma, 2001;Tantray et al, 2009;Bhat et al, 2012;Baig et al, 2013;Jeelani et al, 2013;Lone et al, 2013Lone et al, , 2014Hassan et al, 2013;Bhatia et al, 2014Bhatia et al, , 2015 have also listed the medicinal plants of various local areas of Jammu and Kashmir.…”

“…A lot of work has been done to explore the medicinal plants of Kashmir Himalaya Q2 from time to time by various workers (Ara and Naqshi, 1992;Kaul, 1997;Kapahi et al, 1999;Khan et al, 2004;Wani and Dar, 2006;Tantray et al, 2009;Malik et al, 2011;Bhat et al, 2012;Baig et al, 2013;Jeelani et al, 2013;Lone et al, 2013Lone et al, , 2014Hassan et al, 2013). But, the ethnomedicinal potential of the Shankaracharya Hill has not yet been explored.…”

Aims: The study was aimed to determine the edaphic qualities of two Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites in Mindanao; Mt Apo in Cotabato and Mt. Hamiguitan in Davao Oriental, the Philippines Study Design: Random soil sampling within the plots Place and Duration of Study: Analyses of the soil samples collected from each site were performed at Soil and Plant Analysis Laboratory (SPAL), Central Mindanao University, Musuan, Bukidnon, the Philippines from October, 2012 to December 2013. Methodology: One hectare permanent plot was established in each site. Soil profile description was done in a pit measuring 1m wide, 1.5m long and 1m deep in each site. Soil samples for physicochemical characterization were collected within the plot. Soil physical properties included bulk density, particle density, soil texture and water holding capacity while the chemical properties included soil pH, organic matter, extractable P and exchangeable K contents using the methods employed at SPAL. Results: Results showed that the soils in Mt. Apo were extremely to very strongly acidic, had very high organic matter contents, slightly deficient to very deficient in extractable P, low to very high exchangeable K content, low particle and bulk density values, high porosity, moderate water holding capacity and moderately coarse to moderately fine-textured soils belonging to loamy textural class. On the other hand, the soils in Mt. Hamiguitan were slightly to very strongly acidic, contained adequate organic matter content, low extractable P, low exchangeable K, low particle and bulk density values, high porosity, moderate water holding capacity and are moderately fine to fine-textured belonging to loamy and clay textural classes. Generally, soils in Mt. Apo were more acidic but with relatively higher fertility status and comparable physical make-up with the soils in Mt. Hamiguitan. Conclusion: It was found that both sites have some soil constraints, particularly in terms of soil acidity and low nutrient availability to plants. Information obtained on this study revealed that identification of soil constraints are indispensable in formulating proper land use and conservation program.
