Title : Features and allometric relationships characterising trees on farmland – an example from Chainpur VDC, Chitwan Material Type: printed text Authors: H. Meilby, Author ; Lila Puri, Author Publication Date: 2007 Article on page: 18-26 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: allometric models, farmer's tree species preferences, fodder species, lopping assessment, silhouettes Abstract: Trees on farmland are important sources of fodder, food and a range of wood products and improve local climate and the ecological quality of agricultural landscapes. In spite of this, little is known about the composition of farm tree populations, farmer's management and the resulting characteristics of the trees. In a case study in Chainpur VDC, Chitwan, all trees with diameter 3 2 cm 0.5 metres above ground were enumerated and mapped within 8.44 ha of farmland. The total number of trees was 898, corresponding to a density of 106 ha-1. The basal area 0.5 and 1.3 m above ground were 2.00 and 1.42 m2ha-1, respectively, and the total crown cover was 8.76%. The number of species recorded was 63, most of which were represented by only a few individuals. The most frequent species were Melia azedarach L. (Bakaino, 238 individuals), Bauhinia purpurea Wall. (Tanki, 111 individuals) and Ficus hispida L.f. (Khasreto, 87 individuals). Measurements of diameter and height of crown and stem were done for a sample comprising 81% of the trees. In addition, ocular assessment of the lopping intensity was carried out. Based on these observations, a set of allometric models relating stem diameter, tree height, crown width, crown length and lopping were developed and used for preparation of schematic tree silhouettes. Marked differences between tree species were observed with regard to crown shape and the effect of lopping on shape. Link for e-copy: http://www.nepjol.info/index.php/BANKO/article/view/2152

Title : Modelling the growth of Shorea robusta using growth ring measurements Material Type: printed text Authors: P. Sapkota, Author ; H. Meilby, Author Publication Date: 2009 Article on page: 25-32 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Climate change community forestry diameter growth models effect of rainfall ring measurements Abstract: This paper presents distance-independent diameter growth models for Sal (Shorea robusta Gaertn. f.) in Kankali Community Forest, Chainpur VDC, Chitwan. As the basis for modelling, stem discs were cut 0.3 m above-ground for a sample of 80 trees that had recently been felled. Growth rings were measured along four radii and, except for the outer part of a few discs originating from old trees, individual growth rings could be distinguished without major difficulty. Supplementary data were gathered as a basis for preparing models relating [i] diameter under bark to diameter on bark and [ii] diameter 0.3 m above-ground to diameter 1.3 m above-ground. Based on these data, auxiliary models were developed and used to convert growth ring measurements into diameter increment at breast height. The mean diameter increment was 0.87 cm/year (n = 1514) and the standard deviation was 0.33 cm/year. The relationships between diameter increment and current diameter, stem age, growth in previous years, rainfall and temperature were modelled. Four different models were presented. Rainfall during the growth season, particularly the months of May-July, proved to influence growth considerably and suggests a scope for dendroclimatological studies in Sal.

Title : Planning a system of permanent sample plots for integrated long-term studies of community-based forest management Material Type: printed text Authors: H. Meilby, Author ; Lila Puri, Author ; M. Christensen, Author ; RAYAMAJHI, S., Author Publication Date: 2006 Article on page: 3-11 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Community-managed forests permanent sample plots stratification allocation estimates Abstract: To monitor the development of four community-managed forests, networks of permanent sample plots were established in 2005 at sites in Chitwan, Kaski and Mustang Districts, Nepal. This research note documents the procedures used when preparing for establishment of the plot networks, evaluates the applied stratification of the forest on the basis of data gathered in pilot surveys conducted in the early 2005, and provides a discussion on the implications of the choices made.
