Abstract
The North-Eastern region of India is endowed with rich bio-diversity. The total forest cover in the region is around 60% of the total geographical area. Bamboo accounts for approximately 7% percent of the total forest cover of the region [1]. Due to its inherent qualities and abundance in the region, it has become a part of the life of local communities. For sustainable micro-level development, scientific planning of bamboo resource is required. GIS and remote sensing are effectively used for bamboo resource management and planning in parts of two states of the region, i.e. Manipur and Tripura.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Bamboo and Rattan is a peer-reviewed scientific journal and provides a forum for scientific articles and reviews on all aspects of fast growing, multi-purpose pliable species. The scope of the journal encompasses income security, craft industry, small to medium size enterprises, industrial fibre and fuel. Articles related to natural distribution and conservation of species, genetics and biotechnology, harvesting and production systems, and environmental applications are also included, as well as papers on marketing and policy restraints in relation to bamboo, rattan and related species.
