Assessments of conservation status are typically based on short-term extinction risk, but the value indicators that compare current state species (e.g., abundance or distribution) to potential baselines is increasingly recognised. The use in legislation hindered by ambiguity how should be determined and interpreted, leading inconsistent application. Here, we explored species’ ranges as a consis...

Plant Diversity conservation is a main objective in rangelandmanagement. Plant diversity is a suitable index for showing the changes ofvegetation in rangelands and has a high correlation with ecosystem parameters.Therefore, using this index it is possible to find the changes and manage theecosystem correctly. The current research was performed to determine the speciesdiversity in Fashandak rang...

gradual decrease of biodiversity related to the rapid industrialization and urbanization is stimulating the fundamental research towards a better understanding of the relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. present study emphasizes the nature and status of floral diversity in the vicinity of integrated industrial estate-pantnagar, uttarakhand, india (iie-pantnagar).three m...

Regional species-climate correlations are well documented, but little is known about the ecological processes responsible for generating these patterns. Using the data from over 690,000 individual trees I estimated five demographic rates--canopy growth, understorey growth, canopy lifespan, understorey lifespan and per capita reproduction--for 19 common eastern US tree species, within the core a...
