Geospatial Analysis of Biomass in Lake Region of Kumaun Himalaya, UttarakhandBy N.K. Sharma, Richa Tripathi Sharma, AK Tiwari, YS Rawat
Abstract: The present study includes vegetation and forest biomass mapping in the lake region of Kumaun, Uttarakhand, using IRS1C LISSIII satellite data. A total of 11 forest types including forest plantation were mapped, among various forest types analyzed, maximum area exhibited by Banj oak followed by Pine forest. Mean total above-ground biomass values were ranged between 52.1 and 402 t/ha. Mean crown cover and biomass values were computed for selected sites. …

Conservation Prioritization using Multi-criteria Decision Model: A Case Study in Part of Western Himalayan EcoregionBy N. K. Sharma, Richa Tripathi Sharma
Abstract: Vegetation and land use map was prepared using the satellite image of IRS-1D LISS III sensor. Four vegetation types were mapped, viz., temperate broadleaf forest, temperate conifer forest, pine forest and degraded forest. Different forest types were characterized for conservation prioritization based on parameters obtained through field sampling and landscape analysis. These parameters were (i) species diversity, (ii) mosaic diversity, (iii) total plant value, and (iv) contagion. The areas of …
