Community Forestry and Livelihoods of the Poor: A Political Ecology of Forest Resource Scarcities

Abstract: 

There is wider issue that why the poor become victims not only of environmental degradation but also from environmental improvements is central in community forestry programme. Based on the study of three community forestry user groups of Dhankuta district of eastern development region of Nepal I argue that there is social heterogeneity and resource diversity in the groups that has been given less attention in the programme. Also, there is differentiation of resource endowments and entitlements among different categories of the groups.

Post-fire Recovery of Carbon and Nitrogen in Sub-alpine Soils of South-eastern Australia

Abstract: 

The forests of south-eastern Australia, having evolved in one of the most fire-prone environments in the world, are characterized by many adaptations to recovery following burning. Thus forest ecosystems are characterized by rapid regenerative capacity, from either seed or re-sprouting, and mechanisms to recover nutrients volatilized, including an abundance of N2 fixing plants in natural assemblages.

Changes in tree species diversity and dominance across a disturbance gradient in Nepalese Sal (Shorea robusta Gaertn. f.) forests

Abstract: 

Disturbance is often touted as a management tool,as moderate disturbance is believed to enhance diversity; thus an understanding of frequent and fluctuating disturbance regimes in forests and their effects on stand structure, dominance and diversity is very crucial. Here, the effects of different disturbance regimes, along a gradient, on diversity and dominance of five Shorea robusta Gaertn. f.-dominated forests were investigated in 25 one-ha plots in Nepal.

Emerging Trend of Change in Rainfall Pattern and its Impact on Traditional Farming System

Abstract: 

Any changes occurred in climatic conditions affecting rainfall patterns will have an adverse impact on agriculture eventually affecting the economic well being of the people. As weather pattern changes, the economy of farmers, which depends on traditional subsistence-based agriculture, become more vulnerable and difficult. Rainfalls of Jestha and Ashar (mid July) have been shifted to Shrawan and Bhadra which has negatively affected the paddy production. Variability in the onset of the rainy season has lead to variation in the start of the planting season of rainfed rice.
