  • Carrying Capacity Analysis in Mizoram Tourism

Carrying capacity is a concept that has been extensively applied in tourism and leisure studies since the 1960s, but its appearance can be date back to the 1930s. It may be viewed as an important thought in the eventual emergence of sustainability discussion, it has become less important in recent years as sustainability and its associated concepts have come to dominate planning on the management of tourism and its impacts. But the study of carrying capacity analysis is still an important tool to know the potentiality and future impact in tourism sector. Thus, up to some extent carrying capacity analysis is important study for tourist destinations and states like Mizoram. Mizoram is a small and young state with few thousands of visitors that visit the state every year.

  • Tree Diversity and Carbon Stocks of Hmuifang Forest, Mizoram
    S. B. Sharma et al. Int. J. Res. BioSciences, 7(1): 87-99 (2018) International Journal of Research in BioSciences Volume 7 Issue 1, pp. (87-99), January 2018 Available online at http://www.ijrbs.in ISSN 2319-2844 Research Paper Tree diversity and carbon stocks of hmuifang forest, Mizoram *Shijagurumayum Baleshwor Sharma, Ngangbam Somen Singh and R. Lalruatfela Department of Forestry, Mizoram University, Aizawl, Mizoram-796004, INDIA (Received October 13, 2017, Accepted December 29, 2017) Abstract The diversity of trees and carbon stock of Hmuifang forest were studied. The highest Density, Frequency and Important value Index were found in Dipterocarpus retusus with 153.33, 86.67 and 42.33 respectively, followed by Helicia excelsa with 136.67, 73.33 and 22.10 respectively. Lithocarpus xylocarpus has the highest abundance (2.40) followed by Helicia excelsa (1.86). The study of diversity indices shows that there is greater diversity, the community has a higher evenness and there are fewer disturbances in the forest. Biomass of trees was calculated by using allometric equations. Below ground Biomass was estimated by the Root- Shoot ratio relationship. The highest biomass was stored in Quercus floribunda (244.61 t/ha) followed by Dipterocarpus retusus (175.04 t/ha). Soil samples were collected from four depths layer (0-10 cm), (10-20 cm), (20-30 cm) and (30-40 cm). Soil Organic Carbon was determined by using Walkley-Black wet oxidation method. The Total Carbon Stock of Hmuifang Forest was found to be 468.26 t/ha and total CO2 sequestered is 1718.51. The results of this study help understand the status of this forest and its importance in Carbon sequestration.

Lalhruaizela3 1,2Department of Zoology, Mizoram University 3Department of Journalism & Mass Communication, Mizoram University E-mail: *[email protected] Abstract—We conducted an avian survey to assess the avian diversity of Mizoram University campus, Aizawl for a period of 24 months. During the study a total of 3,555 no of individuals of 189 species of birds belonging to 43 families were recorded. The family Muscicapidae represented the highest species composition with 28 species followed by family Timaliidae and of MZU campus and its adjacent area, 31 (16.4%) species are winter visitors, 15 (7.9%) species are summer visitor, and two species namely, Hooded pitta (Pitta sordid) and Forest wagtail (Dendronanthus indicus) are passer migrants. The variation calculated was 3.286 and species evenness index was 0.62. The detailed of avian fauna of campus recoded and the need of conservation actions are discussed in length. INTRODUCTION (Shankar Raman et al. 1998, Chettri et al. 2001, Shankar Raman, 2011) because they respond to habitat structure Mizoram falls within the northeast bio-geographical (MacArthur and MacArthur, 1961) and represent several zone and is a part of Indo-Mynmar biodiversity hotspot; trophic groups or guilds (Steele et al. 1984). Mizoram has a encompasses rich biodiversity. Several factors and variability within habitat such as topographical, climatic, Indo-Myanmar Hotspot region. Bird community plays an and forest category have contributed to avian species important role in forest ecosystem.

  • Chapter I Introduction
    ANNUAL REPORT 2010‐11 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has been entrusted primarily with construction and maintenance of National Highways (NHs), administration of Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and Central Motor Vehicles Rules,1989, formulation of broad policies relating to road transport, environmental issues, automotive norms, etc. besides making arrangements for movements of vehicular traffic with neighbouring countries. ROAD NETWORK: 1.2 India, having one of the largest road networks of 42.36 lakh km, consists of National Highways, Expressways, State Highways, Major District Roads, Other District Roads and Village Roads with following length distribution: National Highways/Expressway 70,934 km State Highways 1,54,522 km Major and Other District Roads 25,77,396 km Rural Roads 14,33,577 km 1.3 The National Highways have been classified on the basis of carriageway width of a Highway. Generally, a lane has a width of 3.75 m (in case of single lane) and 3.5 m per lane in case of multi-lane National Highways. The percentage of National Highways in terms of width is as under: Single Lane/ Intermediate lane 17,752 km (25%) Double lane 36,995 km (52%) Four Lane/Six lane/Eight Lane 16,187 km (23%) ROAD TRANSPORT: 1.4 About 60 per cent of freight and 87.4 per cent passenger traffic is carried by road. Although National Highways constitute only about 1.7 per cent of the road network, it carries 40 per cent of the total road traffic. Easy availability, adaptability to individual needs and the cost savings are some of the factors which go in favour of road transport.
