Campus, Kumaun University, Almora, Uttarakhand, India *Correspondence: [email protected] ABSTRACT Community structure and composition are the important factors affecting diversity pattern in plant communities. Pertinently, species diversity along altitudinal gradient and variation of aspect differs in different layers at different scale. Hence, the present study was conducted in Mukteshwar Mahadev temple forest in Nainital district of Uttarakhand to understand the vegetation structure, regeneration pattern and impact of aspect on the association of Quercus species. An altitudinal gradient of 2100- 2300m asl with different aspects was selected for present study. The study site was divided into four compartments with respect to different aspects. One plot of 50x50 m was laid down in each compartment and phytosociological analysis was conducted. In the present study, Quercus floribunda Lindl. ex A. Camus showed dominance in three aspects viz. North East, North and West, while in the South aspect Q. leucotrichophora A. Camus was the dominant species followed by Q. floribunda with different associates in each compartment. The under story vegetation was better in northern and eastern slopes in comparison to the southern slopes possibly due to the invasion of Ageratina adenophora (Spreng.) R.M. King & H. Rob. The regeneration of Q. leucotrichophora A. Camus in south aspect was seemed to be excellent and in near future there is a possibility of replacement of other plant species by Q. leucotrichophora. The study revealed that aspect plays a major role in defining and controlling the vegetation pattern in the study area. Keywords: Aspect, Mukteshwar Mahadev, Phytosociology, Quercus.

Raatikainen (tomi.raatikainen@fmi.fi) Abstract. We have measured black carbon properties by using a size-selected Single Particle Soot Photometer (SP2). The measurements were conducted in northern India at two sites: Gual Pahari is located at the Indo-Gangetic plains (IGP) and Mukteshwar at the Himalayan foothills. Northern India is known as one of the absorbing aerosol hot spots, but detailed in- formation about absorbing aerosol mixing state is still largely missing. Previous black carbon equivalent black carbon (eBC) 5 mass concentration measurements are available for this region and these are consistent with our observations showing that refractory black carbon (rBC) concentrations are about ten times higher in Gual Pahari than those at Mukteshwar. Also the number fraction of absorbing rBC-containing particles is higher in Gual Pahari, but individual absorbing particles including rBC-containing particles and their size distributions are fairly similar. These findings indicate that particles at both sites have similar local and regional emission sources, but aerosols are also transported from the main source regions (IGP) to the less 10 polluted regions (Himalayan foothills). Detailed examination of the absorbing rBC-containing particle properties revealed that they are most likely irregular particles such as fractal aggregates, but the exact structure remains unknown.

  • City Development Plan: Nainital Revised
    Urban Development Department Government of Uttarakhand City Development Plan: Nainital Revised Under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) May 2007 GHK International, UK in association with Infrastructure Professionals Enterprise ENC Consulting Engineers Ver 308 Preface The City Development Plan (CDP) of Nainital is prepared as a part of the initiative of Government of Uttarakhand to access funds under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM). CDP is one of the pre-requisites for accessing funds under the scheme. This CDP focuses on the municipal area of Nainital. At the same time it takes into consideration the future urban growth of Nainital city which is likely to grow beyond the present municipal boundary. The likely urban growth in the nearby municipal areas of Nainital and Bhimtal, Naukuchiatal, Sattal, Khurpatal and areas falling under 220 yards on both sides of the roads connecting these lakes has been kept in view while formulating the City Development Plan. The suggestions and recommendations contained in the Stakeholder meetings and workshops have also been taken into consideration for Institutional Development as well as identified works proposed in the City Investment Plan. The CDP was first prepared in August 2006. The CDP was adopted by the State Level Nodal Agency and forwarded to Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India. The CDP was subsequently appraised by the National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA). The comments and observations of NIUA have been duly incorporated

  • Our Trip to Naukuchiatal, Nainital and Sattal
    www.visitindia.org.in Our trip to Naukuchiatal, Nainital and Sattal Tour Route - Delhi-Naukuchiatal-Nainital-Sattal-Delhi Naukuchiatal or ‘lake of nine corners' a less explored place in the hilltown of Uttarakhand, has one of the deepest lakes here. The depth measured near to 175ft, is a paradise for angling and bird watching. Just nearby the lake at waking distance was our resort, so we had the liberty to walk down to enjoy the scenic lake and its surroundings. Birds are a plenty, so early morning and evening trekks are promising. There is a Hanuman temple nearby, there is a 52m Hanuman statue with an artificial cave like the one in Vaishno devi. What to see round Naukuchital Naukuchiatal The taal is heaven when the lotus is in flower. There are various species of fish here of varying sizes. The water rich, bluish green colour is sorrounded by hills, and has many birds around. It is said that if you see all the nine corners of the lake it is a blessing as no one hs been able to ascertain the point where the nine corners are visible. Boating can be done in the lake. Tourist Rest House run by KMVN just overlooks the lake. 1 Bhimtal Lake (4 kms from Naukuchiatal) Named after the Pandava brothers this emerald green Bhimtal Lake is the largest lake in Uttarakhand,ideal for boating. Its other attractions include the 17th century Bhimeshwar Temple complex along with a 40-foot high dam. It is close to Nainital and there are a few stay options also available.

  • Molecular Characterization of the Nettle Plant Urtica Parviflora Based on RAPD Markerhot!
    Goel et. al. / JPBMS, 2011, 5 (21) Available online at www.jpbms.info ISSN NO- 2230 - 7885 Original Research Article JPBMS JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL AND BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES Molecular Characterization of the Nettle Plant Urtica parviflora Based On RAPD Marker Goel Chirag, Verma Pankaj, Ahmad Naseer, Nailwal K Tapan* Department of Biotechnology, Kumaun University, Nainital, Campus, Bhimtal - 263136, Uttarakhand, India. Abstract : Urtica parviflora is considered as an important Medicinal plant, due to its various ethanomedical uses. Here, we analyze the Genetic Variation in U.parviflora, with respect to plant distribution in Kumaun hills based on change in altitude. Examination of Random amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers from four plant samples collected at different heights from sea level indicated that genetic variation was appreciable, as samples from lower altitudes showed low genetic similarity with samples collected from higher altitudes. A total of 70 scorable bands were produced in four samples with 8 primers. The average number of bands per primer was 8.75. Out of 70 bands, 48 bands were polymorphic (68.75%) noted in the present investigation. The dendrogram of the samples showed two major clusters. The samples of Mukteshwar, Nainital and Bhowali are in one cluster and Bhimtal in other cluster. Key words : Genetic Diversity, Primers, RAPD analysis, Taq DNA polymerase. Introduction: The plant Urtica parviflora Roxb. (Urticaceae) commonly importance, little information is available on the called as stinging nettle, is a plant usually 1 to 2 m tall in phylogenetic relationships among the Urtica parviflora height . The plant is evenly distributed in the eastern Asian plant samples in Kumaun region.

  • Birds of Oak Forests in the Kumaon Himalaya, Uttar Pradesh, India
    FORKTAIL 16 (2000): 131-146 Birds of oak forests in the Kumaon Himalaya, Uttar Pradesh, India AISHA SULTANA and JAMAL A. KHAN We surveyed 19 patches of oak forests in three districts of the Kumaon Himalaya to document the status of birds from April 1995 to July 1997. Totals of 203, 85 and 84 species of birds were recorded by using species richness counting, point counts and line transect methods respectively. Totals of 182, 81 and 162 bird species were recorded from Almora, Nainital and Pithoragarh districts respectively. These, together with records from other relevant published sources, have been combined to produce a checklist of 382 bird species for the Kumaon Himalaya. It is recommended that further surveys should be conducted in Almora and Nainital districts.
