Carbon stocks in Shorea robusta and Pinus roxburghii forests in Makawanpur district of Nepal / Parmod Ghimire in Journal of Agriculture and Forestry University, Volume 2 (2018)
[article]
Title : Carbon stocks in Shorea robusta and Pinus roxburghii forests in Makawanpur district of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Parmod Ghimire, Author ; Gandhiv Kafle, Author ; B. Bhatta, Author Publication Date: 2018 Article on page: 241-248 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Carbon stock, forest, Nepal, climate change Abstract: Forests are natural carbon sink, and play an important role in sequestrating the atmospheric carbon
into biomass and soil. As both carbon sources and sinks, they have the potential to form important
components to combat global climate change. The study was carried out in Shorea robusta forest in
tropical region and Pinus roxburghii forest in sub-tropical region of Makawanpur district, Nepal. The
inventory for estimating above and below ground biomass of forest was carried out using stratified
random sampling. Forest biomass was calculated using standard allometric models. Soil samples
were taken from soil profile up to 60 cm depth at the interval of 20 cm. Walkey and Black method
(1934) was used for measuring soil organic carbon. Total biomass carbon in Shorea robusta and Pinus
roxburghii forest was 170.75t/ha and 144.96 t/ha, respectively. Soil carbon sequestration in Shorea
robusta and Pinus roxburghii forest was 58.82 and 43.94 t/ha, respectively. Total carbon sequestration
in Shorea robusta forest was 1.21 times higher than in the Pinus roxburghii forest. Shorea robusta and
Pinus roxburghii forests have found potentiality in contributing to the global goal of climate change
mitigation through storage of carbon, hence wise use and sustainable management of forest resources
are recommended.Link for e-copy: https://afu.edu.np/sites/default/files/Carbon_stocks_in_Shorea_robusta_and_Pinus [...]

[article]
Title : Contribution of dead wood and forest soil to carbon sequestration in Parsa National Park, Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Gandhiv Kafle, Author ; Y. P. Timilsina, Author ; R. P. Sharma, Author ; M. Rijal, Author ; B. Bartaula, Author ; B. Pokhrel, Author ; V. Thakur, Author Publication Date: 2020 Article on page: 113-123 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Carbon storage, line transects, density class, soil organic carbon Abstract: Dead wood and forest soil contribute as a medium for carbon storage and suitable habitat for diverse flora and fauna species.
This study was done with the objective to assess status of dead wood in Parsa National Park (PNP), and to analyze the role
of dead wood and forest soil in carbon sequestration. Line transects and circular sample plots were randomly established;
measurement of down dead wood, standing dead wood, and soil analysis were conducted using standard methods. Dead
wood was categorized into three density class (sound, intermediate, and rotten) based on wood hardness. Total volume and
biomass of dead wood were 39.83 m3
ha-1, and 22.39 t ha-1, respectively, and total carbon stock in dead wood was 10.74 t ha-1.
Total volume of dead wood was dominated by intermediate class (61%) in both standing and down dead woods, followed
by sound (23%), and rotten (16%) density classes. Regarding total carbon stock for each dead wood class in the park,
standing dead wood contributed almost two times more carbon stock than that of down dead wood. All three density classes
were equally responsible in contributing carbon stock in PNP. Formulation and implementation of the localized plans for
management of dead wood are necessary in PNP.Link for e-copy: https://afu.edu.np/sites/default/files/13._Contribution_of_dead_wood_and_forest_ [...]

Title : In the search of end products of commercially important medicinal plants: A case study of yarsagumba (Ophiocordyceps sinensis) and bish (Aconitum spicatum) Material Type: printed text Authors: Gandhiv Kafle, Author ; I. (Sharma) Bhattarai, Author ; M. Siwakoti, Author ; Shrestha; A.K., Author Publication Date: 2018 Article on page: 231-239 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: : medicinal plant, herbal manufacturing industries, end products, Nepal Abstract: Knowledge of end products of medicinal plants and their consumption can be useful for predicting
future demand and planning for sustainable harvesting. In this context, a survey was carried out
in July 2016 to March 2017 in Nepal and India to explore the industrial demand of commercially
important medicinal plants such as Neopicrorhiza scrophulariiflora, Ophiocordyceps sinensis and
Aconitum spicatum, their end products and uses. This paper presents case studies of Ophiocordyceps
sinensis and Aconitum spicatum. The study findings showed that four industries processed 10 kg O.
sinensis in a year (2015/016), and produced four types of end products such as Ayurvedic tonic, food
supplement, alcoholic beverage and sex stimulant tea. No industry was found processing A. spicatum
in Nepal. The end products containing O. sinensis were reported having multiple benefits to human
body including enhancing immunity power, boosting stamina, inducing relaxation, providing energy
and mental freshness and healing a number of health disorders. The domestic industrial consumption
of O. sinensis was found insignificant in comparison to its harvested volume in trade, and should
not be considered a major threat to this species. Diversification of end products of O. sinensis is
recommended to contribute to national economy while promoting consumer healthcare in Nepal.Link for e-copy: https://afu.edu.np/sites/default/files/In_the_search_of_end_products_of_commerci [...]
