IN a prefatory note to his monograph entitled "A Preliminary Survey of Forest Types in India and Burma"(Ind. For. Rec., N.S. 1, Ho. 1, Govt. Press, Delhi, 1936), Mr. H. G. Champion, sylviculturist at the Dehra Dun Forest Research Institute, defines the purpose of the work. ...
India's forest types are very diverse in their compositions with a long evolutionary and geological history, occurring under many climatic and edaphic conditions. They have been undergoing subtle but significant changes in the composition of forests since the forest types were revised by Champion and...
The present study compares the two well-known algorithms in satellite based carbon assimilation estimation, the Vegetation Photosynthesis Model (VPM) and the MOD 17A2 GPP Model, over the tropical forest types in India for a period of two years (September, 2006-August, 2008). The results ...

Bamboo is one of the most important NTFPs in the Ranpur region, as it is a crucial roofing material for most of the house types in the area. Also, bamboo forms a very important NTFP for artisanal craftsmen who make baskets and other agricultural equipment. All bamboo users of Teen Mauza...
for multi-source remote sensing data in forest canopy height mapping, a new method to estimate forest canopy height was proposed by synergizing the spaceborne LiDAR (ICESat-2) data, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data, multi-spectral images, and topographic data considering forest types. In...
evolved were the first tropical rainforests, which blanketed most of Earth’s land surfaces at that time. Only later—during the middle of thePaleogene Period, about 40 million years ago—did cooler, drier climates develop, leading to the development across large areas of other vegetation types....
