Modelling of evapotranspiration using land surface energy balance and thermal infrared remote sensingTropical Ecology - - 2020
R. P. Singh, S. Paramanik, B. K. Bhattacharya, Mukunda D. Behera
Accurate estimation of crop evapotranspiration (ET) is a key factor in crop water scheduling. The objective of this study was to estimate ET from the high-resolution satellite remote sensing data with integration of in situ observation. The surface energy balance model, Mapping Evapotranspiration with Internalized Calibration (METRIC) was utilised in this study for its simplicity, advantages, and ...... hiện toàn bộ
Elucidating space based observations of solar induced chlorophyll fluorescence over terrestrial vegetation of IndiaTropical Ecology - Tập 61 - Trang 32-41 - 2020
Abha Chhabra, Ankit Gohel
Remotely sensed plant fluorescence signals have the potential to facilitate a better understanding of vegetation photosynthetic dynamics. Space based observations of solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) provides an alternative non-invasive approach to investigate gross primary production (GPP), a key element of ecological research. Orbiting carbon observatory (OCO-2) is providing continuou...... hiện toàn bộ
Unveiling tree diversity and carbon density of homegarden in the Thodupuzha urban region of Kerala, India: a contribution towards urban sustainabilityTropical Ecology - Tập 62 - Trang 508-524 - 2021

The present study aimed to assess the role of homegarden (HG) in safeguarding the tree diversity and carbon (C) density or storage in the Thodupuza urban region of Idukki district in Kerala, India. A stratified random approach was used for selecting the four homegardens (HGs) with a size of 1hectare (ha). The study mainly focused on species richness, diversity, above ground biomass, carbon, correl...... hiện toàn bộ
Culturable microbial diversity in the rhizosphere of different biotypes under variable salinityTropical Ecology - Tập 61 - Trang 291-300 - 2020
Priyanka Chandra, Pooja Dhuli, Pooja Verma, Awtar Singh, Madhu Choudhary, Kailash Prajapat, A. K. Rai, R. K. Yadav
The microbial diversity in the rhizosphere of different biotypes is influenced by different factors like plant species, root exudates and soil environment. Culturable microbial diversity in the rhizosphere of six biotypes (Chenopodium murale (CM), Spergula arvensis (SA), Launaea nudicaulis (LN), Brassica juncea (BJ), Phalaris minor (PM) and Triticum aestivum (TA)) growing in variable saline enviro...... hiện toàn bộ
Tree diversity and community composition in sacred forests are superior than the other community forests in a human-dominated landscape of MeghalayaTropical Ecology - Tập 61 - Trang 84-105 - 2020
Blessing R. Suchiang, Ibadahun M. Nonghuloo, Saralyn Kharbhih, Prem P. Singh, Raghuvar Tiwary, Dibyendu Adhikari, Krishna Upadhaya, Papiya Ramanujam, Saroj K. Barik
Tree diversity and community composition in six sacred forests (SF) of Meghalaya were compared with those of six adjacent community forests (CF) to understand how protection provided to sacred forests by the communities impacts their diversity and community characteristics. The SFs harboured a greater number of tree species (187) compared to the CFs (56). Tree density in the SFs ranged from 750 tr...... hiện toàn bộ
Patterns of woody species diversity and structure in Thalewood House permanent preservation plot in Bannerghatta National Park, Bangalore, IndiaTropical Ecology - Tập 62 - Trang 626-643 - 2021
Ritu Kakkar, K. H. Vinaya Kumar, O. K. Remadevi, M. Manjunatha, B. Saritha, Balasubramanya Sharma, M. Kiranraddi, H. S. Dattaraja, H. S. Suresh
A permanent forest dynamics study plot was established in Bannerghatta National Park (BNP) to understand the impact of climatic variability on deciduous forest trees. A 1 ha (100 m × 100 m) Permanent Preservation Plot (PPP) was established following the Centre for Tropical Forest Science (CTFS) protocol. All the woody plants (trees, shrubs, climbers) greater than 1 cm diameter at breast height (db...... hiện toàn bộ
Digital hemispherical photographs and Sentinel-2 multi-spectral imagery for mapping leaf area index at regional scale over a tropical deciduous forestTropical Ecology - - Trang 1-13 - 2024
Mukunda Dev Behera, J. S. R. Krishna, Somnath Paramanik, Shubham Kumar, Soumit K. Behera, Sonik Anto, Shiv Naresh Singh, Anil Kumar Verma, Saroj K. Barik, Manas Ranjan Mohanta, Sudam Charan Sahu, Chockalingam Jeganathan, Prashant K. Srivastava, Biswajeet Pradhan
The leaf area index (LAI) provides valuable input for modeling climate and ecosystem processes. However, ground-based observations are necessitated across various phenophases from dense tropical forests for a better understanding in terms of their contribution to carbon fixation. In this study, Digital Hemispherical Photography (DHP) was used for LAI observation from Similipal Biosphere Reserve, a...... hiện toàn bộ
