This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Chilas forest sub division in Diamer district, of Gilgit-Baltistan is located at northern regions of Pakistan. We estimated tree density, diameter, height and volume of the dominant tree species in four blocks (Thore, Chilas, Thak Niat and Gunar) of Chilas forest sub division. The tree density of deodar was maximum with average 26 tree∙ha−1 and minimum was of Chalgoza 4 trees∙ha−1. The maximum average height showed by the dominant species (Fir, Kail, Deodar, and Chilgoza) of the study area to be 20.40, 16.06, 12.24 and 12.12 m respectively. Moreover the average maximum volume attained by the Kail, Fir, Deodar and Chalgoza trees was 1.92, 1.57, 0.46 and 0.291 m3∙tree−1 respectively. Regression analysis was carried out to determine the relationship between diameter (cm), height (m), tree density (trees∙ha−1) and volume (m3∙ha−1).

  • Summit Reservoir Replacement Draft Environmental Impact Report
    Summit Reservoir Replacement Draft Environmental Impact Report State Clearinghouse #2010072060 East Bay Municipal Utility District May 2011 May 20, 2011 NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY Summit Reservoir Replacement Project Berkeley, Alameda County and Kensington, Contra Costa County Draft Environmental Impact Report SCH #2010072060 Notice is hereby given that a Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is available for public review. The project proponent is the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD, 375 Eleventh Street, Oakland, California 94607-4240). EBMUD is also the Lead Agency, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Project Description: Facility improvements to the Summit Reservoir and the Woods and Shasta Pumping Plants located at 416 Spruce Street in the City of Berkeley are proposed to address regulatory concerns related to hazardous materials in the reservoir liner caulking (1994 Alameda County District Attorney Agreement), to replace inefficient storage and improve water quality by downsizing with optimal storage from projected future demand and cost perspectives, and to restore operational flexibility and reliability in the greater Summit Pressure Zone. The project involves demolition of the existing 37-million gallon (MG) open-cut reservoir and appurtenances (including the roof system, roof features, and concrete lining) as well as decommissioning of the Woods and Shasta Pumping Plants located below the southwestern reservoir embankment. Construction includes a new 3.5-MG, partially buried concrete tank, replacement pumping plants (including pumps and motors, instrumentation, motor control centers, transformers and related appurtenances) in a new structure west of the new Summit tank location, a new Summit flow control valve within the pumping plant structure to access 1.5-MG storage from existing Woods Reservoir located approximately one mile to the east, and a replacement inlet/outlet pipeline from the new Summit tank.

The occurring in several countries of the region. Pure and mixed species occurs in two distinctly different ecotypes (mesic monsoon patches at varying altitudes are found, but the species grows and dry nonmonsoon), and strict avoidance of germplasm transfer well at an optimum elevation of 2,000-2,500 M. Although between the ecotypes is necessary for survival and productivity in this pine occurs over a wide altitudinal range, there is no Pakistan, India, and Nepal. The role of these ecotypes in enhancing evidence of altitudinal races that could be given subspecific productivity and in establishing large-scale plantations resistant to or specific taxonomic ranking. blister rust is presented and compared with plantations in India and This species has been known by a number of scientific Bhutan.

The present study was conducted in different mountain forests (situated between 1428-3460 m asl) in Garhwal Himalaya. The aim of this study is to present an assessment of the carbon stock variation in tree biomass purposing recommendations for future forest management. Eight temperate forest types viz., Abies spectabilis forest, Betula utilis forest, Cedrus deodara forest, mixed coniferous forest, Pinus wallichiana forest, Quercus floribunda forest, Q. leucotrichophora, and Q. semecarpifolia forests were studied to enumerate its growing stocks, biomass density and carbon stocks of the area. The mean Growing Stock Volume Density (GSVD) was calculated as 488±39.11 m3 ha-1, which ranged from 366.68±71.27 m3 ha-1 (Q. floribunda forest) to 676.38±155.19 m3 ha-1 (Cedrus deodara forests). The values of total biomass density (TBD) was recorded the highest for Abies forests (636.3±64.6 Mg ha-1) and the lowest for Betula forests (286.37±29.9 Mg ha-1).

  • Cedrus Deodara Deodar Cedar1 Edward F
    Fact Sheet ST-134 November 1993 Cedrus deodara Deodar Cedar1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION With its pyramidal shape, soft grayish-green (or blue) needles and drooping branches, this cedar makes a graceful specimen or accent tree (Fig. 1). Growing rapidly to 40 to 50 feet tall and 20 to 30 feet wide, it also works well as a soft screen. The trunk stays fairly straight with lateral branches nearly horizontal and drooping. Lower branches should be left on the tree so the true form of the tree can show. Allow plenty of room for these to spread. They are best located as a lawn specimen away from walks, streets, and sidewalks so branches will not have to be pruned. Large specimens have trunks almost three feet in diameter and spread to 50 feet across. GENERAL INFORMATION Scientific name: Cedrus deodara Pronunciation: SEE-drus dee-oh-DAR-uh Common name(s): Deodar Cedar Family: Pinaceae USDA hardiness zones: 7 through 9A (Fig. 2) Origin: not native to North America Uses: wide tree lawns (>6 feet wide); recommended for buffer strips around parking lots or for median strip plantings in the highway; screen; specimen; residential street tree Figure 1. Young Deodar Cedar. Availability: generally available in many areas within its hardiness range DESCRIPTION Height: 40 to 60 feet Spread: 20 to 30 feet Crown uniformity: symmetrical canopy with a regular (or smooth) outline, and individuals have more 1.

    A review on phytochemical, ethnobotanical, pharmacological, and antimicrobial importance of Cedrus deodara (Roxb. Ex D. Don) G. Don Dwaipayan Sinha Department of Botany, Government General Degree College, Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal, India Abstract REVIEW ARTICLE REVIEW Cedrus deodara (Roxb. Ex D. Don) G. Don is a conifer that grows in the Himalayan regions of India, Pakistan, and Nepal. The plant is an evergreen tree belonging to the family Pinaceae and forms extensive forest along the Himalayan Mountain. The plant is traditionally used by people for thatching, sheltering, furniture making, fuelwood, and medicinal purposes. The plant is rich in flavonoids and terpenoids such as deodarin, cedrusone A, myricetin, 2R, 3R-dihydromyricetin, quercetin, 2R, 3R-dihydroquercetin, α-pinene, β-pinene, myrcene, limonene-α, β-caryophyllene, β-copaene, α-himachalene, β-humulene, γ-muurolene, β-himachalene, Germacrene D, α-muurolene, δ-cadinene, and γ-amorphene. Research has been carried out to explore the pharmacological and antimicrobial activities of various parts of the plants with promising outcome. Extensive literature survey was made and the information in relation to C. deodara was pooled from scientific research papers through electronic search tools available in the internet. This review paper is an attempt to highlight the ethnobotanical, pharmacological, and antimicrobial importance of C. deodara along with its wide array of chemical constituent. The plant can be a potent and cheap source of raw materials, leading to drug development
