“…This species is providing the opportunity to fulfill the aim of National Agroforestry Policy 2014 of India to achieve 33 per cent of tree cover (NAP, 2014). To accomplish these objectives, the commercial agroforestry systems are prime important and will provide the numerous direct and indirect output (Chavan et al, 2015(Chavan et al, , 2016. Commercial trees under agroforestry besides providing the tree products, improves soil productivity through ecological and physico-chemical changes The study was conducted in 8 year old east-west and north-south directions bund plantation at CCS HAU, Hisar during 2015-2016 to evaluate the effect of Eucalyptus tereticornis bund planting on the yield of agricultural crops and soil properties in Haryana.…”

“…There are more than 100 villages within the corridor area, and the villagers are dependent on the forest for its ecosystem services. The impact of human disturbances is also high, as the forest area is used for Tendu ( Dyospyros melanoxylon ) and Mahua ( Madhuca longifolia ) collection from the month of March to June (Lal 2012, Chavan et al 2016). We aimed to detect the community composition and identify factors affecting the changes in the plant community in different anthropogenic disturbance gradients.…”

Tropical forests are complex systems with heterogenous community assemblages often threatened under conservation conflicts. Herbivory and disturbances affect the diversity and species assemblages within forest patches having different disturbance regimes. We studied the change in plant community composition and structure under a disturbance gradient in the tropical dry deciduous forest of the corridor area between Nagzira-Navegaon Tiger reserve of central India. We tested the hypothesis that the plant community will change along the proximity gradient from the human settlement depending on the anthropogenic stress. We sampled 183 nested quadrat plots to collect data on species abundance and various disturbance parameters. Density, diversity, and Importance Value Index were calculated from the collected data on species abundance and girth at breast height (GBH) of individual tree species. We did multivariate analysis to assess the changes in species assemblage along the disturbance gradients. We found 76% dissimilarity between the plant communities in the three disturbance gradients from near to far from the villages perpetrated by the difference in mean abundance of species like Tectona grandis, Terminalia sp, and Largerstroemia parviflora. The anthropogenic factors significantly influence the density and diversity of tree species and regeneration classes. We found the abundance of regeneration class increased along the distance from the villages. The study intensifies the need for proper management and conservative approach to preserve the minimum diversity of the forest patches for its structural and functional contiguity as a corridor in the central India's highly susceptible and intricate corridor framework.

In earlier days, children used to play in outdoors with plant parts and their products for fun making and games. However with modernity and advancement in science and technology, this indigenous knowledge is vanishing day by day. There is no scientific documentation of plants being used for fun and games by children. The present study carried out in different tribal and non-tribal village schools of Koraput and Khordha districts of Odisha, India in a systematic manner documented 90 plant species distributed in 85 genera spread over 44 families. The plant species recorded include 35 trees, 21 shrubs, 24 herbs and 10 climbers/creepers. The plants widely used as play material include Artocarpus heterophyllus, Dendrocalamus strictus, Cocos nucifera, Calotropis gigantea, Ficus benghalensis, Mangifera indica, Musa paradisiaca, Phoenix sylvestris, Tamarindus indica, etc. The different plant parts such as leaves, fruits, flowers, seeds etc. and their mode of use by the participating respondents have been recorded and discussed. It was noted that the most and frequently used plant parts as the source of play were fruits followed by leaves, flowers, and seeds. The economic importance of plants, besides their implications in teaching and learning along with their sustainable utilization and conservation is discussed.
