Protecting Biodiversity through Forest Management: Lessons Learned and Strategies for Success

 

Abstract

The strong links among biodiversity, forests, and climate change require that forces affecting them be addressed simultaneously. Here we summarize findings and lessons learned from decades of field work exploring ways to balance conservation with development, while effectively addressing drivers of deforestation and biodiversity loss. Examples are provided for approaches to forest management that support both biodiversity conservation and greenhouse gas mitigation. Causes of deforestation are reviewed and recommendations provided for specific steps that would slow the loss of high conservation-value forests.

Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Environmental Sciences & Natural Resources Impact of Various Levels of Phosphorus on Wheat (CV.PIRSABAK-2013) Authored by Sajid Islam Abstract An experiment was conducted at Cereals Crops Research Institute Pirsabak Nowhere on 'Impact of various levels of phosphorus on Wheat (cv. PIRSABAK-2103) during winter 2014-15. The experiment consisted of single factor i.e. phosphorus levels 0, 45, 60, 75 and 90 kg ha -1 . The experiment was carried out in simple randomized complete block (RCB) design, having three replications. Sub plot size was 5m x 1.8m. Row to row distance was kept as 30 cm. Agronomical treatments were kept the same for all the plots. Leaf area tiller -1 , days to heading, days to physiological maturity, plant height, spikes m -2 , spike length, grains spike -1 , thousands grains weight, biological yield and grain yield were significantly (p<0.05) affected by various levels of phosphorus. Maximum weight of thousand grai

  Juniper Publishers-Open Access Journal of Environmental Sciences & Natural Resources The European Social Innovation Competition Lottery Authored by Luigi Antonio Pezone Introduction I participate in the "2018 European Social Innovation Competition" even though this competition is a real lottery, to make known my environmental solutions, which go beyond this competition, because, I believe that the current model of development is unsustainable and cannot be understood by those who do not observe the development from different scientific and practical points of view that can be acquired only after many years of transversal experiences, which modern society does not allow to acquire, as it rewards specialists in individual sectors. Global reasoning is essential to develop sustainable innovative social projects. But it is also difficult that these projects can be understood by the judges of these types of competitions, if they do not know the global design project. Indeed,

Plant Microbiomes and Its Beneficial Multifunctional Plant Growth Promoting Attributes-Juniper Publishers

Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Environmental Sciences & Natural Resources Plant Microbiomes and Its Beneficial Multifunctional Plant Growth Promoting Attributes Authored by Ajar Nath Yadav Abstract Plant microbiome (Epiphytic, endophytic and rhizospheric) plays important role in plant growth, development, and soil health. Plant and rhizospheric soil are valuable natural resource harbouring hotspots of microbes, and it plays critical roles in the maintenance of global nutrient balance and ecosystem function. The diverse group of microbes is key components of soil-plant systems, where they are engaged in an intense network of interactions in the rhizosphere/phyllospheric/endophytic. The microbes with plant growth promoting (PGP) attributes have emerged as an important and promising tool for sustainable agriculture. PGP microbes promote plant growth and development directly or indirectly, either by releasing plant growth regulators/phytohormones;
