“…The present study reports the use of 19 species as fruits and vegetables, also confirm the findings (Faiz et al 2014) reported in Lesser Himalayas in Tolipir landscape. The use of the species (J. mesnyi, C. alba, A. incisum, C. rosthornii) as ornamental and spiritual purposes also confirm the findings (Faiz et al 2014) reported in Lesser Himalayas in Tolipir landscape. In all, 47 species are used for medicinal purposes.…”

“…These actions will also have a positive impact on lowland ecosystems that depend on the sustainability of these mountain ecosystems. A lot of studies on Lesser Himalayas have been done by Faiz et al 2014, Faiz and Fakhr 2015a, 2015b, 2015c but the results of this study provide quantitative information on the natural vegetation of the Pir Punjal range. This contribution also assesses the importance and roles this plant diversity provides the ecosystem, with the overall aim being the identification of those plant species and communities at greatest risk of overuse and loss.…”

The utilization patern of plant resources of Pin Punjal Mountanious range of Azad Kashmir and anthropogenic stress of the ecosystem was documented. A total of 150 species were recorded by the local people for various needs, such as, 19 species used as fruit and vegetables, 47 as medicinal, 26 as fuel wood, 12 as timber for furniture making, 32 as fodder for grazing of livestock, 4 as ornamental and 10 as aesthetic for cultural and religious activities. The anthropogenic pressure on the ecosystem was analysed by using principal components analysis (PCA) which resulted significant anthropogenic stressors on the natural resources of the area.

“…The highest seasonal Shannon index (4.3) of bird species was recorded in summer followed by autumn (3.99), winter (3.64) and spring (3.58) (Figure 3), while its overall value was recorded to (3.9). Faiz et al [18] surveyed Toli pir national park, district Poonch, Azad Kashmir, Pakistan and calculated overall diversity index (2.22), while Raza et al [19], reported the avian diversity of Lahore zoo safari, overall diversity index was recorded to be (1.93). Sidra & Ali [20] during the survey of new campus Punjab university estimated it to be (2.548).…”

Bunjosa game reserve lies in district Poonch of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan. This game reserve is newly established so, avian fauna of this area was unexplored yet, so the present study was undertaken to determine the avian biodiversity, residential status and ecological threats. The findings of the bird's surveys undertaken from October 2015 to November 2016. A total of n = 3137 birds belonging to 108 species, 25 families and 11 orders were identified with highest numbers in summer (n=1148) and lowest in winter (n=415). The seasonal Shannon Wiener diversity index was highest in summer (4.3), followed by autumn (3.99), winter (3.64) and spring (3.58), likewise the family wise diversity index was maximum for family Corvidae (0.26) and minimum for Remizidae, Phasianidae and Alcedinidae (0.006) respectively. The research findings revealed that habitat fragmentation and clearance through extensive deforestation, forest fires, livestock grazing, and collection of fire woods are recorded as the major threats to the avifauna. Development of conservation and management plan will be helpful in protecting the avian biodiversity and ecosystem of the game reserve.

“…Post-harvest loss can be explained as degradation in volume, value and nutrition (Chitranshi et al, 2020). Considerable amount of food is gone in post-harvest (Faiz et al, 2020). Moreover, the fungi and nematodes are also posing a serious threat to our crops (Parveen et al, 2020).…”

The major global concern of the developing countries is to fulfill the basic need of food to mankind as more than one-third of the food is lost due to various kinds of diseases and many other effects like postharvest loss by different fungi. The danger of post-harvest disease influences the way most horticultural crops are handled. Hence, the proper identification of the causal pathogen is important before appropriate treatment can be made to control the pathogens. Therefore, In the present study, Alternaria alternata, Alternaria, Rhizopus, Mucor, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Cladosporium, Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium moniliforme, Drechslera, Penicillium, and Geotrichum candidum were identified among various vegetables including potato, carrot, okra, eggplant, turnip, cucumber, round gourd, cauliflower, and chilli. These losses result in about a 30% reduction in the yield of these vegetables. By reducing the post-harvest losses, it could be possible to overcome the need of food as the world population is in dare need of research relating to crop sustainability.
