  • Vegetation structure and carbon stock of the corridor forest threatened with mining, linking the Similipal-Satkosia Tiger Reserve, Odisha, India

    Open AccessNarendra Mohan, Tanveer Ahmed et al.ARTICLETrees Forests and People2025

    Tropical forests play a vital role in carbon sequestration and act as natural buffer against the impact of climate change. However, these forests are decreasing due to various anthropogenic activities. In the present study, we determined the vegetation composition, tree biomass, and carbon stock (above ground) of tropical deciduous forests connecting the Similipal and Satkosia Tiger Reserve of Odisha. We documented a total of 128 tree species, 47…

  • Willingness to Pay for forest corridor conservation

    Open AccessMohit Payal, Tanveer Ahmed et al.ARTICLETrees Forests and People2024

    The forest corridor connecting the Similipal and Satkosia Tiger Reserve in Odisha, India is vital for several wide-ranging animals and the sustenance of a unique lineage of tigers in the landscape. However, this corridor is fragmented in its status quo with mining, road, and rail networks, along with heavy human dependency on the forest. Highlighting the non-use value of ecological goods like forest corridor can support the conservation of the ec…

  • Conservation planning for the Ganga River

    Syed Ainul Hussain, Michelle Irengbam et al.ARTICLELandscape Research2020Cited by: 1References: 54

    River conservation planning is complicated by its inherent connectivity, variations in habitat features and difficulties in conserving entire rivers. Economic and social constraints in human-dominated river systems, such as the Ganga, further complicate planning. A multistage systemic analysis was performed to identify policy gaps and recommend the most suitable conservation strategy for the Ganga. A critical review of Indian legislation impactin…

  • Earning a Livelihood from Himalayan Caterpillar Fungus in Kumaon Himalaya

    Open AccessAmrita Laha, Ruchi Badola et al.ARTICLEMountain Research and Development2018

    The trade of Himalayan caterpillar fungus, or Ophiocordyceps sinensis, is believed to have transformed the rural economy of certain Himalayan villages. Most scholarly work on the caterpillar fungus focuses on its ecology, physiology, and pharmacological attributes, followed by conservation and sustainability issues. Few studies have tried to understand it from a socioeconomic and political perspective. Of the few studies examining its economic co…

  • Forest Composition and Structure Under Various Disturbance Regimes in the Alaknanda River Basin, Western Himalaya

    Open AccessUpma Manral, Ruchi Badola et al.ARTICLEMountain Research and Development2017

    This study explored the resilience of mountain forests in a protected area in Alaknanda River basin, Western Himalaya, to various disturbance scenarios. The resource dependency of village communities in the Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary Landscape was studied through a questionnaire survey in 10 villages situated along an elevational gradient. Vegetation sampling was done in government-owned sanctuary forests and community-owned forests, both visit…

  • Conflict in Paradise

    Open AccessRuchi Badola, Syed Ainul HussainARTICLEMountain Research and Development2003

    The unique assemblages of flora and fauna in the Himalayan region make it one of the most important biodiversity hotspots on the Indian subcontinent. Seventy-five protected areas (PAs) encompassing 9.48% of the region have been created to conserve this biodiversity and the fragile Himalayan landscape (Figure 1). However, this has engendered conflicts between PA management and local communities that suffer from restrictions on access to biomass re…
