Phenological Behaviour of Paeonia emodi Wall. ex Royle in Response to Habitat Variability and Altitude
Abstract: AbstractThe study of phenological aspects of Paeonia emodi involves the observation, recording and interpretation of the timing of their life history events. An understanding of the phenology of plants is crucial to the understanding of community function and diversity. The phenological behaviour of P. emodi, being unclear, was investigated for the first time with a conservation perspective. Plant sprouts in the last week of March, senescence of aerial shoot starts …

Vulnerability Reduction through Appropriate Building Designs in Kashmir
Abstract: AbstractInfrastructure development and construction of accommodation (residential and nonresidential) with masonry is the oldest and most common technique used throughout the world. Same is followed in the South East Asian countries including Pakistan. Unreinforced masonry (without use of steel for tensile loadings) can withstand gravity loads well because it has good compressive strength but very low or negligible tensile strength. The tensile strength of a joint made with mortar can …

How Selected Areas in Nowshera City (Pakistan) Can Be Made Flood Resilient
Abstract: AbstractClimate change and variability is causing more hydro-meteorological risks today than ever before. No individual country can declare itself protected against events like floods, hurricanes, droughts and snowfalls. Pakistan is no different against impacts from these events. 2010 floods in Pakistan have highlighted weaknesses of the systems for dealing with floods, especially in urban areas of Khyber Pakhtun Khwa (KPK) including Peshawar, Nowshera and Charsadda. At Nowshera, areas north of …

Influence of Climatic Change on Environment: A ReviewInfluence of Climatic Change on Environment: A Review
Abstract: AbstractThe paper highlights that environment is a rudimentary public aid of a human system. Therefore, it must be preserved. Sustainable development can be defined as the evolution that does not dissolve social, ecological or political system, but at the same time provides full understanding of the essential requirements of humans. According to the present knowledge, it is crucial to cite the principles of sustainable development to benefit the human system. …

Captive Breeding and Study of Numida meleagris (Helmented Guinea Fowl) in India
Abstract: AbstractNumida meleagris—an African fowl commonly called Helmented Guinea Fowl—was recovered from different regions and allowed to propagate in captive conditions. Most of the abiotic and biotic parameters were adjusted and controlled. The laying, mating, harem and pair formation and nesting and hatching were observed. Finally, a relationship was established between ex situ and in situ conservation efforts to know which is more successful in the present scenario. Finally, a local …
