Impact of Climate Change on Ecosystems
Abstract: Climate change poses significant threats to ecosystems worldwide, altering temperature regimes, precipitation patterns, and accelerating habitat loss and fragmentation. In this review article, we examine the multifaceted impacts of climate change on ecosystems, focusing on biodiversity loss and disruptions to ecosystem services. Firstly, we discuss the direct effects of rising temperatures and changing precipitation patterns on species distributions, phenology, and habitat suitability. We then explore the consequences of habitat loss …

Dynamics of Prey Predator Model with Harvesting of Prey
Abstract: In this paper we studied the dynamics of prey-predator model with Holling type-II response. The predator is generalist type and can sustain in absence of prey. In addition to that a constant harvesting effort is induced in the prey species. The model is characterized by a couple of differential equations. The well posed ness of the model is established. The system is bounded, exhibits positive solutions and persistence. The possible …

An Assessment of some Ferns of the Polypodiaceae Family from Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh with Reference to their Morphological and Ethnobotanical Aspects
Abstract: Pteridophytes represent a category of seedless plants that reproduce through spores. This group is divided into two lineages: lycophytes, characterized by fronds with no leaf gap in the stem stele (Lycophylls), and Monilophytes, commonly known as ferns, which have fronds with a leaf gap in the stem stele. The Himalayan Region in India stands out globally for its distinctive topography, extensive altitudinal range, diverse climate, and varied habitats. Pteridophytes play …
