Comparison of Tree Diversity and Biomass in Community-managed and Protected Tropical Dry Evergreen Forest Sites on the Coromandel Coast of India
Abstract: AbstractThis study was carried out in four 1-ha plots distributed two each in community-managed (Sunayakkadu, SN, and Kothattai, KT) and protected (Point Calimere 1 and 2 (PC 1 and PC 2) tropical dry evergreen forest (TDEF) on the Coromandel Coast of India. The present study assesses and compares the stand structure and carbon stocking potential of trees in community-managed (CM) and protected forest (PF) categories. All trees ≥10 cm girth …

Analysis of Production of BIO-GAS Energy by using Kitchen Waste, Cow Dung and Paper Waste
Abstract: AbstractIn recent years, various harmful effects of global warming due to dependence on fossil fuels are observed. The need of developing clean, sustainable and secure energy resources is realized. The economic growth cannot be sustained until reliable energy is made available at a responsible cost. Energy can be extracted from various resources, i.e., human energy, bio energy, mechanical energy, kinetic energy etc. The importance of using biomass efficiently to address …

Assessment of Temporal Features for Geographical Localisation of Satellite Images
Abstract: AbstractMost of the geographical applications are dependent upon the frequent interpretation or analysis of satellite images captured at periodical manner. Consequently the observation is mainly due to the environmental or human based comprehensive changes in spatio-temporal information, which affect the overall process. Thus the past and present data are main sources in the various predictive investigations in remote sensing. While inherent spatial and spectral information are exploited severely, it is …

Effective Utilisation of Lowland Eco-System for Water and Crop Productivity in Eastern India
Abstract: AbstractThere is no option other than to increase the food production to meet the increasing demand for food with ever-increasing population growth rate. There is also very little or no scope of horizontal expansion due to land limitation, the question of vertical expansion is the only way to fit with the situation. Genetically improved crop variety, hybrids, mechanized agriculture, higher rate of fertilizers and chemicals application may give one or …
