  • Forests and Biodiversity
    Chapter 5: Forests and Biodiversity Introduction Forests are invaluable natural resources and important eco-systems, which benefit mankind in number of ways. The economic benefits include agroforestry, forest related tourism and revenue earned from trade of forest products such as fuel wood, charcoal, weaving materials, agricultural products and industrial products like gums, resins, oils, and timber. Ecological and environmental benefits of forests are in the form of catchment protection, wild life conservation, soil erosion control, regulation of local and global weather through the absorption and creation of rainfall and the exchange of atmospheric gases. However, the economic benefits, in terms of climate control, pollution abatement, and wildlife maintenance, have rarely been calculated. Several factors are responsible for the loss of forest cover across the globe. The permanent removal of forest cover and conversion to a non-forested land use constitutes deforestation. Because of the worldwide loss of forests, thousands of species of birds and animals are threatened with extinction. Although GoI enunciated several programmes, including formulation of forest policy, as early as in 1952, for sustainable management of forests, over the years, forests in the country have suffered serious depletion. This is due to relentless pressure arising from the ever-increasing demand for fuel- wood, fodder and timber; inadequacy of protection measures; diversion of forestlands to non-forest uses without ensuring compensatory afforestation and essential environmental safeguards; and the tendency to look upon forests as a revenue earning resource. It was imperative to evolve a new strategy for forest conservation and thus, a National Forest Policy (Forest Policy of 1988) was devised with an aim to maintain, on an average, 33 per cent of the country’s area under forest cover as against the world average of 26.6 per cent.

VARTAK & VINAYA GHATE I\ Department of Botany, Maharashlra Association for the Cultivation of Science-Research f11stitult', Pune 41 I 004, India. ABSTRACT This is an attempt to delimit tho variou' spocio1 of tho genus Arthraxv11 P. Beauv. Morpho­ loaY of lower aJumo of senile spikelet appaars to provide a reliable taxonomic character for the delimitation of various 1poclos. Tho sizo, ornamentation, position of vein•, apex and margins of &Iume have boon proved to bo tbo most U\oful characters in the identification of various taxa. An artificial key b~od exclusively on the glumo characters for the identification of I 7 species of genus Arthraxon P. Beauv. occurring in Western Mahara~htra has been given. INTRODUCTION Genus Arthraxon P. Beauv. is a noteworthy taxon in ·the family Poaceae on account of its geographical distribution and variability in habitat situations. From amongst the 25 s.peeies of this genus reported from the Indian subcontinent, about 65% are indi­ genous to hilly reglons of Mahara<Jhtra. Out of the~e 10 are endemic to Maharashtra. Though most of the species of Arthraxon P. Beauv. have poor food value, their occurrence in different environs ha<J. made them notable in the study of ecological succe­ s~ions and their identification has become imperative. Some of the workers who have referred to Arthraxon P. Beauv. from the area under consideration are Hooker (1896; six species), Cooke (1901 - J908; six species), Blatter and· McCann ( 1935; six species), Bor (1960; nine species) and Jain (1972; thirteen species).
