Non-wood Forest Products

چکیده
This paper describes an attempt to integrate the assessment of some non-wood forest products (NWFPs) in the framework of a standard forest inventory. The study is restricted mainly to medicinal and aromatic plants, i.e., herbal NWFPs, a group that has economic importance in the hill regions of Nepal. Several specific difficulties are discussed. They arise from the fact that a regular forest inventory is not specifically designed for a survey of herbaceous plants. A pilot inventory carried out in two districts in Nepal is described. The experiences are reported and discussed.
