R. Sigdel in BANKO JANAKARI - वनको जानकारी : A Journal of Forestry Information for Nepal, 18 : 1 (January - June 2008)
Title : Altitudinally coordinated pattern of plant community structure in the Shivapuri National Park, Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: S. R. Sigdel, Author Publication Date: 2008 Article on page: 11-17 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Altitude, Density, Plant community, Species diversity Abstract: Study on plant community structure was undertaken in different altitudinal ranges of Shivapuri National Park. The general objective of this study is to analyse different plant community structure in Shivapuri National Park with regards to altitudinal variation. The forest was divided into three distinct altitudinal ranges on the basis of dominancy. In each altitudinal range standard quadrats method was applied for vegetation analysis. The highest number of species was found in site II. All the ecological parameters of the plant species were higher in site II except Basal Area of tree that was highest in site III. The pattern of distribution of plant species was not uniform according to altitude. At higher elevation, the forest was mature with almost closed canopy and trees were large; so the tree density was low. Species richness was highest in site II. Species diversity among tree and shrub species was higher in site I. But for herb species diversity was higher in site II for both seasons. Such type of variations may be due to nature of soil i.e. acidity, nutrient availability and other micro-climatic factors. The most noteworthy thing was that variation in flower colour of Rhododendron arboreum i.e. deep scarlet at low altitude, but it gradually changed into pinkish white as altitude increased.

Title : Utilization of plant resources in Dang district, West Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: S. R. Sigdel, Author ; ROKAYA, MAAN B., Author Publication Date: 2011 Article on page: 45-54 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Dang district, ethnobotany medicinal plants vulnerability test Abstract: This paper aims to highlight the uses of forest resources in Purandhara, Panchakule and Goltakuri
Village Development Committees (VDCs) of Dang district, western Nepal. The ethnobotanical data was
collected through Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) that involved discussion with local people
and key informants, through semi-structured questions and informal conversations. Vulnerability of
plants used in the study area was assessed by adapting the Rapid Vulnerability Approach (RVA).
Altogether 85 plant species belonging to 79 genera and 56 families were recorded in the study
areas. Twelve plant species were found to be used for various purposes other than medicinal. They
were used as food, fodder, in construction, in religious purposes and even in yielding dyes.
Seventy three plant species were found to be medicinal in properties for treating
144 different ailments. Remedies for 27 ailments were reported as new uses. The most common way of
admission of medicine was oral (76.71 %) followed by external or topical (35.6 %) and nasal (1.27
%). The RVA test showed Dalbergia sissoo (with 15 scores) and Terminalia alata (with 14 scores) as
most vulnerable ones.Link for e-copy: http://lib.frtc.gov.np/elibrary/?r=6
