It is important to improve the accuracy of models estimating aboveground biomass (AGB) in
large areas with complex geography and high forest heterogeneity. In this study, k-nearest …

The climatic and non-climatic stresses impacted adversely to the functioning and productivity
of the forests, resulting in disturbing the existing carbon flow in the atmosphere. Cedrus …

Abstract Chir pine (Pinus roxburghii, Sarg.) forests are dominant in the Indian Himalayan
region and act as a huge carbon (C) sink. However, measuring the C sink in soil is complex …

The current study estimated carbon sequestration potential of Q. leucotrichophora–based
traditional agroforestry systems (agrisilviculture system, silvopasture system) and natural …

Chir pine (Pinus roxburghii) is the most important tree species used for afforestation
programs in the Himalayan regions. In the present study, fourteen forest stands were …

To address the multifaceted challenge of sustainability posed by human interventions and
climate change, the urgent need to harness agroforestry for biomass production, carbon …

Climate change has negative consequences for the biophysical environment and an
observable impact on flows of ecosystem services. Considering the high relevance of …

The global climate is showing altered temperatures and precipitation levels. Forests can be
a stabilizing force in climate change. They regulate the nutrient cycle, protect species and …

Abstract Indian Himalayan regions (IHRs) are among the most fragile ecosystems, being
highly susceptible to natural hazards and climatic change to a varied extent due to their …

Micrometeorological variability significantly impacts the structures, functions, and dynamics
of ecosystems. However, the assessment of feedback and causal relationships among …
