A complete list of the plants is given with their name, family and ethnobotanical use, distribution and occurrence. Indigenous knowledge of local inhabitants about the use of native plants were collected during field trips through questionnaire The inhabitants of the area have to use the medicinal plants for various purposes and have for a long time been dependent on surrounding plant resources for their food, shelter, fodder’s, health, care and other cultural purposes. Pinus roxburgii, P. wallichiana, Cedrus deodara, Abies pindrow and Taxus wallichiana are prominent gymnosperms of Kaghan Valley which are not only source of timber but also utilized as fuel wood and for medicinal purposes. Key words: Ethnobotanical uses, gymnosperms, Kaghan Valley-Pakistan. Introduction The Kunhar river catchments area is commonly known as, “Kaghan Valley”. The valley is situated in the northern part of North West Frontier Province of Pakistan (NWFP). It is 161 Km long scenic wonderlands, with its towering Himalayan peaks, peaceful lakes, majestic glaciers and splashing waterfalls. Even, today, when few places have escaped man’s meddlesome fingers, is still in an unbelievably pristine state, an unspoilt paradise. It is situated between 340-17/ to 350-10/ North latitudes and 730-28/ to 740-7/ East longitudes.

  • Forest Crown Closure Assessment Using Multispectral Satellite Imagery
    African Journal of Agricultural Research Vol. 7(36), pp. 5033-5042, 18 September, 2012 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/AJAR DOI: 10.5897/AJAR11.1937 ISSN 1991-637X ©2012 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Forest crown closure assessment using multispectral satellite imagery Juwairia Mahboob* and Faheem Iqbal National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, Pakistan. Accepted 9 July, 2012 Forest inventories have traditionally been used for acquiring quantitative and qualitative information of forests and for formulating management and conservation strategies of forests in Pakistan. It involves intensive and time consuming field surveys of rigid forest environments and entails high costs. However, with the advent of technology, remote sensing offers an alternative tool for acquiring forest data intended for forest mapping and consequently for effective forest management and monitoring. This research produces estimates for forest crown closure with SPOT 5 (2.5 m spatial resolution) and ALI (30 m spatial resolution) imageries. Ayubia National Park was selected as the study area for this research because the National Park has diverse varieties of coniferous and broadleaved tree species in their natural environment. Forest crown closure was assessed for each pixel of SPOT and ALI imageries by employing indices and principal component analysis. It was found that crown closure of Ayubia National Park generally falls between 45 and 65%. A comparison of results obtained from SPOT and ALI imagery was carried out. Accuracy assessment was obtained by using ground data of crown closure measurements. Key words: Forest, crown closure (CC), SPOT, ALI, geographic information system (GIS), remote sensing. INTRODUCTION Crown closure (CC) is an important parameter in building indicator of the tree health and shows the condition and a management strategy for a forest, and for formulating a rate of growth of the tree.

The Galiyat pilot project is being launched under the KPE programme. This pilot project will be launched in Galiyat in collaboration with the Galiyat Development Authority (GDA), and will be executed with the support of Tech Valley Abbottabad. The focus of this pilot project is to develop an entrepreneurial ecosystem in Galiyat through; creation of sustainable livelihood opportunities for grass-root-entrepreneurs, and enhancing and augmenting tourism in the region. Galiyat Research and Mapping INTRODUCTION Development of the tourism industry in KPK is one of the key focus areas of Galiyat region’s provincial government. However, progress in this particular sector requires that an innovative approach is taken with respect to its development. Tourism cannot ourish in isolation. It is the by-product rather than the source of socio-economic progress in the region. Economic pros- perity stems from entrepreneurial and business activity in a particular region, and is scalable and sustainable when the cores of such activities are indigenous resources. The Galyat site visit was conducted, covering 13 locations, to map the micro-enterprise land- scape and to assess the needs of their grass-root entrepreneurs. This survey helped ascertain their requirements which could be used to develop and customise products that could relevantly addresses their business and operational needs.

  • Sedimentology of Hettangian to Middle Eocene Rocks Of
    131 Geol. Bull. Punjab Univ. 43, 2008. GEOLOGY OF HETTANGIAN TO MIDDLE EOCENE ROCKS OF HAZARA AND KASHMIR BASINS, NORTHWEST LESSER HIMALAYAS, PAKISTAN BY NAVEED AHSAN Institute of Geology, University of the Punjab, Quaid-i-Azam Campus, Lahore-54590 Pakistan e-mail: [email protected] AND M. NAWAZ CHAUDHRY College of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of the Punjab, Lahore-54590. Pakistan ABSTRACT:-The Mesozoic to Eocene sedimentary succession of Hazara Basin dominated by carbonates is characterized by a distinct package of sediments punctuated by a number of diastems, hiatus and unconformities. The Hazara Basin evolved in Hettangian with the development of lagoonal to upper shoreface conditions on the northern margin of northward flying India. It was followed by a thick pile of middle Jurassic to upper Cretaceous sediments representing deposition in supratidal to outer ramp settings. During late Cretaceous the basin was exposed subaerially when the Indian Plate established its first contact at 67±2Ma with the Kohistan Island Arc. During this time the Kashmir Basin remained exposed. Sedimentation resumed in Hazara and Kashmir basins with the development of transgressive shoreline and Hangu Formation was formed in Danian. The Hazara and Kashmir basins and adjacent areas experienced the last marine incursion at the close of Danian in which a sequence of carbonates and siliciclastics represented by Lockhart Formation, Patala Formation, Margala Hill Formation and Chorgali Formation were deposited. This was followed by main collision between India and Asia sandwiching the Kohistan Island Arc at 40 to 50Ma. This collision was followed by retreat of sea, uplift of Himalayas, development of a foredeep and deposition of a fluvial package, by meandering river system, from Himalayan provenance namely Murree Formation.
