Title : Above-ground carbon stock assessment in different forest types of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: S.K. Baral, Author ; R. Malla, Author ; S. Ranabhat, Author Publication Date: 2009 Article on page: 10-14 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Above-ground biomass carbon forest types Nepal Abstract: This study assessed the above-ground carbon stock in the five major forest types,
representing two physiographic regions and four districts of Nepal. Altogether, 116 circular
sample plots were laid out systematically in different forests types to inventory the forest.
Total above-ground biomass was derived with allometric equations. Results indicated
variation in age of the stand (18-75 years), above-ground carbon stock per hectare (34.30-
97.86 dry wt. ton ha-1) and rate of carbon sequestration (1.30-3.21 t ha-1yr-1), according to
different forest types. The rate of carbon sequestration by different forest types depended
on the growing nature of the forest stands. Tropical riverine and Alnus nepalensis forest
types demonstrated the highest carbon sequestration rates in Nepal.Link for e-copy: http://lib.frtc.gov.np/elibrary/?r=11

Title : Agroforestry practices in leasehold forests in Tanahun, a Mid-hill district of Western Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: SHAKYA, R., Author ; S.K. Baral, Author ; R. Basukala, Author ; S. Khanal, Author Publication Date: 2006 Article on page: 45-49 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Leasehold forest agroforestry silvopasture hortisilviculture NTFP Abstract: Leasehold forestry in Nepal has sought to address both poverty alleviation and environmental conservation. The major agroforestry practices observed in the leasehold forests were silvopasture, hortisilviculture and Non Timber Forest Product (NTFP) cultivation. The most prominent problem to the users in adopting agroforestry practices was the lack of technical information. Some successful insights observed suggest that agroforestry has a notable potential to address dual objectives of poverty alleviation and conservation. The need to evolve sustainable mechanism for promoting agrofrorestry in degraded lands through the dissemination of useful traditional knowledge, innovative practices and improved technologies was identified.

Title : Assessment of fodder yield from Artocarpus lakoocha and Bauhinia purpurea) tree planting in community forests in the western midhills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: S.K. Baral, Author ; SHAKYA, R., Author Publication Date: 2005 Article on page: 3-5 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Artocarpus lakoocha, Bahunia purpurea, fodder, plantation, community forest, yield Abstract: This experiment assessed the yield and growth performance of the fodder tree planting in the community forest focusing on Artocarpus lakoocha, Bahunia purpurea. Major variables analyzing the yield and growth of the species such as dbh, height, green weight of the foliage was measured. After analyzing the data, Artocarpus lakoocha was found to be good yielding and growth performing species as compared to Bahunia purpurea. Preliminary result shows that yield of the both the species is significantly correlated with dbh and height. Link for e-copy: http://lib.frtc.gov.np/elibrary/pages/view.php?ref=153&k=

Title : Diversity of vascular plant communities along a disturbance gradient in a central mid-hill community forest of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: S.K. Baral, Author ; K. Katzensteiner, Author Publication Date: 2009 Article on page: 3-10 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Central mid-hills community forest disturbance regimes Nepal plant diversity Abstract: The ‘Community Forestry Program’ has been considered successful in improving the
environmental situation in the hills of Nepal by enhancing the vegetation coverage of
degraded sites and by improving the supply of forest products to farmers. The restoration
measures are considered sustainable if the ecosystems are self-supporting and resilient
against perturbation. A community forest (CF) in the mid-hills of Nepal has been assessed
for restoration success based on the comparison of vegetation structure and species
diversity along a disturbance gradient, using a semi-protected natural forest as a reference
site. In general, the community forest management (CFM) was able to re-establish forests
on formerly severely degraded sites. Forest operations carried out during CFM have
altered plant community composition, species richness and distribution, age class
distribution of trees and vegetation structure. As a result, the CF was being transformed
into a less diverse regular forest although the overall vascular plant diversity was retained
with sufficient niches within the understorey vegetation.Link for e-copy: http://lib.frtc.gov.np/elibrary/pages/view.php?ref=57&k=
