(Zingiberaceae) is represented by 141 species distributed mainly in tropical forests of Asia. From Maharashtra 7 species have been reported (Sharma et al. 1996, Almeida 2009, Chandore et al. 2012). These plants are characterized by inflorescence arising directly from the rhizome with peduncle very short or absent. Earlier floristic studies in Satpuda hills of Khandesh region have not recorded any wild ginger species belonging to the genus Zingiber (Patil 2003, Kshirsagar 2008, Khan 2019). During our botanical survey of Satpuda hills, we came across a colony of herbaceous plants with distichous leaves with basal sheaths overlapping to form pseudostem, in Aamba Pani forest of Satpuda hills of Jalgaon district, on hill slopes dominated by Bamboo Dendrocalamus strictus (Roxb.) Nees and Karvi Strobilanthes callosa Nees vegetation, sharing habitat with Cheilocostus speciosus (J. Koenig) C. Specht, and Habenaria plantaginea Lindl. Detailed morphological examination of the specimen observed with the help of literature confirmed it as Zingiber roseum (Roxb.) Roscoe. Close examination with the help of pertinent literature revealed that this species is not recorded earlier from Satpuda hill ranges of Jalgaon district, and Khandesh region of Maharashtra. It is the new distributional record of this species from Satpuda ranges, Maharashtra state. The occurrence of this rare wild ginger species underlines its range extension from western ghats to Satpuda hills, signifying floral wealth of Satpuda hill ranges.","PeriodicalId":23334,"journal":{"name":"Tropical Plant Research","volume":"522 1","pages":"619-621"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77812745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study developed yield models for the young Tectona grandis stands in Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka, Southeastern Nigeria. These models were necessary to the guide forest managers in timber valuation as well as monitoring growth of the stand. Data for this study was collected through complete enumeration method, tree height and stem diameters of the 295 Teak stands were measured. Non-destructive method (Newton’s formula) was used in computing individual tree volumes. The tree growth variables data were subjected to descriptive statistics and used for fitting five nonlinear regression functions. The mean stem height, diameter at breast height and volume were 10.6 m, 8.9 cm, 0.032 m3, respectively. Out of the five yield equations fitted; the generalized combined variable model had the best predictive ability; with the lowest root mean square error (0.0084 m3) and Akaike information criterion (-2809). Therefore, the generalized combined variable model was recommended for yield estimation of Tectona grandis.","PeriodicalId":23334,"journal":{"name":"Tropical Plant Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78751309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study was undertaken to assess the firewood consumption pattern by households living near community forests of East Khasi Hills District, Meghalaya and the impact of such activity on species diversity and population structure on such forests. Data on firewood consumption and preferred firewood species, and impacts of firewood harvesting on species diversity and population structure were collected through household surveys and phytosociological studies respectively. The surveyed households showed high dependency on firewood and the consumption pattern varies with the family size. The preferred firewood species are those of hardwood trees such as Quercus spp., Lithocarpus spp., Castanopsis spp. and Myrica spp. Firewood extraction have negative impact on forests, resulting in decrease in species diversity and population of the preferred firewood species. Statistical analysis revealed that species richness and diversity and density differ significantly in protected and unprotected forests. Despite low per capita consumption of firewood and precautionary measures like regulated harvesting in the study area, firewood harvesting cannot be ignored as an important cause of forest degradation and biodiversity loss. More research into local ecological and cultural contexts and perceptions concerning costs and benefits can help devise sustainable management options, including alternative sources of fuel.","PeriodicalId":23334,"journal":{"name":"Tropical Plant Research","volume":"43 1","pages":"669-677"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84809617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Out of which a saxicolous foliose lichen Xanthoparmelia tuberculiformis is reported as a new record to India and 6 species viz. Arthonia collectiva, Arthonia subvelata, Dictyographa varians, Opegrapha astrea, Pyrenula gibberulosa and Verrucaria elaeomelaena are new records to south India. While 6 species viz. Buellia quartziana, Buellia substigmea, Pyxine nilgiriensis, Physcia abuensis, Caloplaca subpoliotera, and Caloplaca tropica are found as endemic to India. The sanctuary also comprises of 10 new distributional records to Andhra Pradesh as well as to the Chittoor district. Among the different growth forms, crustose lichens showed maximum diversity represented by 40 (58%) species followed by 23 (33%) of foliose, 3 (4%) of leprose, 2(3%) of squamulose and single species (2%) of fruticose lichen. The sanctuary showed the maximum diversity of corticolous lichens represented by 47 (64%) species followed by 24 (33%) saxicolous lichens out of these 2 (3%) species were found commonly both on bark and rock substrata. The member of the lichen family Caliciaceae exhibit the maximum diversity represented by 11 (16%) species under 5 genera. Among the 36 genera, Lecanora exhibits the maximum diversity represented by 6 species. The phorophytes, Pongamia pinnata, and Premna tomentosa bears the luxuriant growth of lichens represented by 9 species.

Hepatoprotective potential of the plant extract was evident from the normalized biochemical parameters of hepatic injury like ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, SB, TGL, TC and TP along with the estimation of antioxidant status of the liver tissue (levels of Catalase, Superoxide dismutase, Glutathione and Malondialdehyde levels).
