  • Carbon stocks and sequestration potential of community forests in Bhutan

    Open AccessSigyel Delma, D A Gilmour et al.ARTICLETrees Forests and People2024

    Community Forestry (CF) is recognized globally as a forest management regime with the potential to address deforestation and forest degradation, provide forest goods and services to local communities and contribute to climate change mitigation. Around 4% of Bhutan's forests are currently under CF management and these forests provide essential goods and services for local communities. However, the potential of CF in Bhutan to contribute to climate…

  • Farmer Initiatives in Increasing Tree Cover in Central Nepal

    Open AccessD A Gilmour, Michael Nurse et al.ARTICLEMountain Research and Development1991

    Farmers in the Middle Hills of Nepal have a heavy dependence on tree products to sustain their agricultural systems. They manipulate tree cover on their privately-owned agricultural land--generally on terrace edges and on non-cultivated patches within the agricultural complex. Trees also occur on non-private (common) land surrounding villages, and these trees are also controlled by the farmers, even if the land is under the legal authority of the…

  • Resource availability and indigenous forest management systems in Nepal

    D A GilmourARTICLESociety & Natural Resources1990Cited by: 4References: 3

    It is a widely held view that Nepal has undergone widespread deforestation. The reality is that although some parts of the hill regions have lost a great deal of their forest cover, many others are still well covered. It is postulated that villagers respond to shortages of forest products by developing indigenous systems for managing the forests under their control. This is in spite of the fact that the legal ownership of most of the forests rest…

  • Increase in Tree Cover on Private Farm Land in Central Nepal

    Open AccessA S Carter, D A GilmourARTICLEMountain Research and Development1989

    The hill farmers of Nepal are often portrayed as having been responsible for perpetrating the large-scale deforestation of their mountain home. In this study, a comparison was made of the tree cover on upland cultivated terraces (bari) in 1964 (using air photographs) and in 1988 (using on-ground survey) along a transect across two hill districts in central Nepal. Fifteen plots were identified and vegetation cover was estimated at each of four sit…

  • The Effects of Forestation on Soil Hydraulic Properties in the Middle Hills of Nepal

    Open AccessD A Gilmour, M BONELL et al.ARTICLEMountain Research and Development1987

    There is much international interest in the ecological condition of the heavily populated mountain region of the Nepal Himalaya. Claims are frequently made that deforestation in this heavily populated region has negative effects on downstream flood- ing and sedimentation. The implication is that deforestation results in compaction of the soil with a consequent decrease in infiltration capacity and an increase in surface runoff (and hence flooding…
