  • Diversity and Abundance of Medicinal Plants Among Different Forest-Use Types of the Pakistani Himalaya
    DIVERSITY AND ABUNDANCE OF MEDICINAL PLANTS AMONG DIFFERENT FOREST-USE TYPES OF THE PAKISTANI HIMALAYA Muhammad Adnan (Born in Charsadda, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan) A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Academic Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) of the Faculty of Forest Sciences and Forest Ecology of the Georg-August-University of Göttingen Supervisor Prof. Dr. Dirk Hölscher Göttingen, November 2011 Reviewers Prof. Dr. Dirk Hölscher Prof. Dr. Christian Ammer Examiners Prof. Dr. Dirk Hölscher Prof. Dr. Christian Ammer Prof. Dr. Erwin Bergmeier ii SUMMARY Medicinal plants collected in the Himalayan forests are receiving increasing attention at the international level for a number of reasons and they play an important role in securing rural livelihoods. However, these forests have been heavily transformed over the years by logging, grazing and agriculture. This thesis examines the extent to which the diversity and abundance of medicinal plants are affected between forest-use types as a result of such transformations. In northwestern Pakistan we studied old-growth forest, degraded forests (forests degraded by logging, derived woodland, agroforest and degraded sites) and restored forests (re-growth forests and reforestation sites). An approximate map was initially established covering an area of 90 km2 of the studied forest-use types and fifteen and five plots were allocated to five and two forest-use types respectively at altitudes ranging from 2,200 m to 2,400 m asl. The abundance and diversity of medicinal plants were then assessed therein. Of the fifty-nine medicinal plant species (herbs and ferns) studied, old-growth forest contained the highest number thereof with fifty-five species, followed by re-growth forest with forty-nine species and finally, forest degraded by logging with only forty species.

Honors Scholar Theses. 608. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/srhonors_theses/608 Decentralization and the Provision of Public Services: A Case Study of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan Abstract: The effective provision of public services is integral to a functioning democracy as it connects the public to the government and grants it legitimacy. Public services are ones that are provided by the federal and local governments and paid for with constituent taxes. Public services provided by the state are education, health, water/sanitation, environmental measures, security, policing, labor and legal guidelines and so on. Whether the structure of the government is centralized or decentralized is an important factor which impacts the provision of services. Decentralized governments are state or local governments which receive monetary and institutional resources from the federal government. Previous research has shown that decentralized services are more effectively delivered than centralized services. My study examines the impact of decentralization on the provision of two services, health and education, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from 2008-2018. There are two parts to the study. First, I will use process tracing to portray the historical context of decentralization in conjunction with sociopolitical factors of the region of KP.

Title Ms. Shabnam Irshaad . Typesetting Mr. Muhammad Usman Mr. Shahzad Akram ii Preface On behalf of AIOU and the course team, I appreciate and welcome you to the course “Introduction to Environment”. The word “environment” is usually understood to mean the surrounding conditions that affect people and other organisms. In broader definition, environment is everything that affects an organism during its lifetime. Environmental science stands at the interface between human and earth. It is an interdisciplinary as well as multidisciplinary study that describes problems caused by human use of the natural world. It also seeks remedies for these problems. Learning about this complex field of study helps to understand three things. First, it is important to understand the natural processes (both physical and biological) that operate in the world. Second, it is important to appreciate the role that technology plays in our society and its capacity to alter natural processes. Third, it helps to understand the complex social processes that characterize human populations. The different units of this course will lead you to an understanding of the relationships between the physical and human components of the systems and the Earth’s processes that change the surface of the earth.
