“…Similar results of high available N in subabul were noticed by Singh and Singh [38]. Leguminous trees in agroforestry systems effectively contribute sources of N via symbiosis with root-nodulating bacteria [39].…”

A study was conducted to assess the influence of various agroforestry systems on soil physicochemical and chemical parameters in the erstwhile Warangal district, Telangana during the year, 2022. Soil samples were collected from 0-20 cm and 20-40 cm depths of different agroforestry land use systems (Eucalyptus, Malabar neem, Sandal wood, Red sanders, Teak, Subabul, Mango + Teak (border plantation), Malabar neem + Sandalwood, Red sanders + Sandalwood plantations) and barren land. The statistical analysis of the data revealed that the soil organic carbon and available nutrients were significantly higher in the surface soil depth (0-20 cm) than in the lower depth (20-40 cm) irrespective of agroforestry systems. Organic carbon and available nutrients were significantly more under all the agroforestry systems compared to barren land in two depths. There is significant interaction between the land use systems and soil depth. Significantly higher OC (5.12 g kg -1), CEC (18.3 c mol p+ kg-1) available N (198 kg ha-1) and available P2O5 (69 kg ha-1) were recorded at 0-20cm depth in eucalyptus plantation and significantly high K2O (530 kg ha-1) was recorded in the teak plantation. Soil organic carbon significantly and positively correlated with cation exchange capacity (r = 0.839**), available N (r = 0.900 **), available P2O5 (r = 0.408**) and available K2O (r = 0.521**) in all the agroforestry land use systems. Therefore, from this study it was reported that raising tree species in barren lands and also as border plantations improves soil fertility through the addition of leaf litter.

“…Patil et al (2021) have further recorded that MP is no exception for this stress and medicinal trees of threatened category growing naturally in the state forests are facing various problems like dwindling natural regeneration, forest department's lack of concern as medicinal trees are given lesser priority compared to timber, long term gestation period of medicinal trees making them unprofitable proposition for planting by private entrepreneurs, overexploitation of such trees due to lack of awareness or greed and poverty of dependent people etc. Prasad et al (2019) observed that the gums and resins trade in India faces declining trend in the production base of such produce due to ruthless tapping and unorganized harvesting approaches. In particular, Alam et al (2021) have reported overexploitation of katira for gum and medicinal uses and Kalaskar et al (2015) have recorded patala facing threat of extinction due to habitat destruction, illegal trade and over exploitation.…”

Background: Indigenous communities depended on forest resources for food, shelter, health care and cultural need throughout the world. Such association existed in central India too where many medicinal trees are at risk due to their worrisome conservation status. Therefore, the study was taken to understand the dependency of indigenous people on medicinal trees at-risk (MTR) for livelihood, medicinal use, and their cultural need.Methods: Qualitative methods of research (questionnaire survey, structured interview and focus group discussion) along with quantitative method (field survey: crop availability and regeneration status) were employed.Results: Medicinal trees were the part of their culture as they used them in family functions and religious ceremonies. The MTR products were used for health care along with some livelihood options (sale of gums and resins), though with low dependency. Two cross culture use models showing people-MTR relationship could be developed using basic and published information: i. plant-ailment-community and ii. ailment-plant-community. Indigenous Traditional Knowledge (ITK) related to these trees was disappearing due to noninvolvement of youth in traditional occupation, reduced use and resources were on decline due to poor regeneration, climatic events-based (drought, flash flood) and natural (stem hollowness) damages. Conclusion:Though the dependency was low, survival of MTR as well as ITK was in danger. For their conservation, a mechanism of shared management responsibility and revisit of nistar policy (free of cost use of forest resources) is suggested along with detail recording and promotion of ITK.

“…Acacia Senegal species are important trees in Nigeria and many African countries. These trees produce gum arabic in food, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications [4][5][6][7][8]. Gum arabic is a dried exudate substance obtained from wounds or injuries to the stems and branches of A. senegal and other related species by gummosis [3,[9][10][11].…”

Climate significantly impacts dryland trees, influencing their adaptation, survival, production, and role in the ecosystem. Acacia senegal is a valuable dryland tree planted for gum arabic production and ecological benefits. However, gum arabic production has declined due to the adverse effects of climate and improper management. Thus, silvicultural intervention such as pruning is essential for the health, growth, and gum yield of A. senegal. This study investigates the effects of different pruning intensities and pickings on gum arabic yield at Madana and Garin-ladan in the Gumel district of northern Jigawa State, Nigeria. The experiment involved five levels of pruning intensity and eight pickings, conducted using a randomized complete block design with three replicates. The gum yield was collected, dried, and weighed, and ANOVA was performed using Statistix 10.0 software, with Shapiro-Wilk and Turkey tests for data normality and mean comparison. The result showed significant differences (p < 0.05) in gum yield among the pruning intensities for most of the pickings at the two sites. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, and 3rd, 5th, 8th pickings are significantly different except 4th, 7th, 8th; and 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th, and 7th at Madana and Garin-ladan respectively. The highest gum yield is 52.5a, 46.7a, 50.1a, and 43.5a g/picking, respectively. The lowest is 0.8a and 0.9a g/picking, respectively. Pruning intensity significantly differs (p< 0.05) in total gum yield per tree. Pruning intensities B3 and B4 demonstrated the highest total gum yield (251.8a and 147.6a g/tree) at both sites, respectively. At the same time, B0 exhibited the lowest gum arabic yield (97.2c and 38.5b g/tree) at both locations. These findings prove that pruning intensities B3 and B4 are the most effective in promoting gum yield and may enhance the gum productivity of A. senegal trees in northern Jigawa State.
