Background:Temperate forests are major carbon sinks because of their high storage potential and low decomposi-tion processes.We quantified tree carbon(TC)storage from 143 plots distributed across three major forest types of Kashmir Himalaya,relative to differences in ecological factors.Combined regression and Random Forest(RF)analysis were used to examine the distribution of TC stock along ecological gradients and recognize the role of driving factors on TC stocks.Results:Among the three forest types,sub-alpine(SA)forest was the primary TC sink,accounting for 228.73 t ha^(−1)of carbon,followed by mixed conifer(MC;181.29 t C ha^(−1))and blue pine(BP;133.04 t C ha^(−1))forests.The distribution of TC stocks among the three forest types differed significantly(χ^(2)=18.87;P=0.000).Relative carbon stock analysis demonstrated that Abies pindrow and Pinus wallichiana accounted 91%of TC stocks across the landscape.Basal area,mean diameter at breast height(DBH),elevation,disturbance and precipitation had significant effects on TC stocks in bivariate regression models.The RF model explained 86%of the variation;basal area interpreted 30.15%,followed by mean DBH(17.96%),disturbance complex(10.64%),precipitation(8.00%)and elevation(7.34%).Conclusions:Kashmir Himalayan forests are significant carbon sinks as they store a substantial quantum of carbon in trees.Forest carbon,an essential climatic indicator,is determined by a complex interaction of other ecological vari-ables,particularly stand structural features.The study provides insights into the role of these natural forests in climate change mitigation and in REDD+/national commitments to offset the carbon.

Decadal (2003–2013) changes in liana diversity,abundance and aboveground biomass in four inland tropical dry evergreen forest sites of peninsular India

引用

Journal of Forestry Research 2016年第1期27卷 133-146页

In 2013, we re-inventoried all lianas （≥1 cm diameter measured at 1.3 m from the rooting point） in four I-ha permanent plots distributed one each in four sites of inland tropical dry evergreen forest on the Coromandel Coast （Pudukottai district） of peninsular India, established in 2003. Among the four sites, Shanmuganathapuram （SP） and Araiyapatti （AP） were much disturbed and the other two sites （Karisakkadu--KR and Maramadakki--MM） were moderately disturbed. We inventoried a total of 3425 lianas representing 37 species of 33 genera and 22 families. Over a decade （2003-2013） liana species richness increased at two sites （MM and SP） and no changes occurred at the other two sites. Liana abundance increased by 210, 211,164 and 162 individuals at sites AP, KR, MM and SP, respectively, and basal area increased （from 1.09 to 1.76 m2 at AP, 0.67 to 0.86 m2 at KR, 1.68 to 2.06 mz at MM, and from 0.44 to 1.06 m2 at SP）. Over a 10-year period, three species （Abrus precatorius, Canavalia virosa, and Cocculus hirsutus） were lost and five species （Gloriosa superba, Ampelocissus tomentosa, Capparis sepiaria, Aganosma cymosa and Tiliacora acuminata） were newly added. Total aboveground biomass increased by 18.5, 0.74, 3.6 and 9.5 Mg ha-1, respectively, at sites AP, KR, MM and SP.

Diversity, distribution and resource values of woody climbers in tropical forests of southern Eastern Ghats, India

引用

Journal of Forestry Research 2013年第2期24卷 365-374页

作者： Chellam Muthumperumal narayanaswamy parthasarathy Department of Ecology and Environmental Sciences Pondicherry University

We investigated the distribution and resource values of liana species assessed in six hill complexes of southern Eastern Ghats, India. 143 liana species （DBH （diameter at breast height） ≥1.5 cm） and 32,033 liana individuals were recorded from 110 transects （0.5 ha each covering 55 ha area） in the study sites. The resource values of lianas were broadly categorized into ecological and economic importance. About 90% （129） of liana species and 96% （30,564） of liana individuals were established ecological/economic values. Fruit rewards provided by 76 species and 20,325 individuals constituted the major resource of ecological importance. 82 species and 21,457 liana individuals are of economic importance as medicine, edible fruits, edible and medicinal values, and yet others are used for different domestic purposes including furniture, fuel wood, rope making etc.. Ecologically, the prevalence of succulent diaspores in lianas of Indian Eastern Ghats indicates the animal dependence of many liana species for dispersal and underlines the need for a holistic and whole-forest conservation approach in maintaining forest biodiversity.

Liana community and functional trait analysis in tropical dry evergreen forest of India

Journal of Plant Ecology 2015年第5期8卷 501-512页

Aim lianas are abundant and diverse throughout the world and consti-tute an important structural and functional component of tropical forests.This study aims to investigate liana diversity,abundance and their functional traits in Indian tropical dry evergreen forest(TDEF).Methods a total of ten 1-ha plots,one each in 10 Indian TDEF sites were demarcated.Each 1-ha plot was divided into one-hundred 10-×10-m quadrats to facilitate woody species inventory.all lianas≥1 cm diameter measured at 130 cm from the rooting point and all trees≥10-cm girth at breast height(gbh)were recorded from the study sites to analyze the patterns of liana diversity and abundance and also to compare the contribution of lianas to the total woody species richness,density and basal area.liana variables across the study sites were compared using one-way analysis of variance.The qualitative functional traits of inventoried lianas and trees were assessed on the field and referring to pertinent field manuals.Important Findingsa total of 9237 liana individuals(ranged from 408-1658 individu-als ha^(−1))representing 52 species,45 genera and 28 families were encountered from the 10 study sites.liana species richness ranged from 11-31 species ha^(−1) in 10 sites,which averaged 23.4(±5.7)species ha^(−1).The total basal area of lianas in the study sites was 7.3 m^(2)(0.20-1.76 m^(2) ha^(−1)).There was a significant variation in liana species richness,density and basal area across the studied sites.on the whole,lianas contributed 52%,49.3%and 4.1%to the total woody species(lianas and trees)richness,density and basal area,respectively.liana trait analysis revealed the majority(50%)of lianas belonged to brevi-deciduous type.stem twining was the chief climbing mechanism,exhibited by 21 species(52.6%of total abundance).more than half of the liana species(34 species;6925 individuals)had microphyllous leaves.Fleshy-fruited lianas mostly bearing berries and drupes constituted the major fruit type in the studied sites.Zoochory was the predominant dispersal mode
