The study area falls under District East Singhbhum, Jharkhand.The biodiversity we see today is the fruit of billions of years of evolution, shaped by natural processes. The vast array of interactions among the various components of biodiversity makes the planet habitable for all species, including humans. There is a growing recognition that, biological diversity is a global asset of tremendous value to present and future generations. At the same time, the threat to species and ecosystems has never been as great as it is today. Species extinction caused by human activities continues at an alarming rate. Protecting biodiversity is in our self-interest. Ecological impact assessment (EcIA) is used to predict and evaluate the impacts of development activities on ecosystems and their components, thereby providing the information needed to ensure that ecological issues are given full and proper consideration in development planning. Environmental impact assessment (EIA) has emerged as a key to sustainable development by integrating social, economic and environmental issues in many countries. EcIA has a major part to play as a component of EIA but also has other potential applications in environmental planning and management (Kumar, 2014). 2.2 Objectives and Methods 2.2.1 Objectives The present study was undertaken with the following objectives to assess the nature and distribution of vegetation in and around the project site within the study area: • To assess the type of wild animals within the study area; • To assess the biodiversity of natural system present in the study area; • To ascertain migratory routes of fauna and possibility of breeding grounds within the study area; 2.2.2 Methodology The study area taken for the study is 10 km radius with the project site complex as center. The different methods adopted were as follows: Inventorisation of flora & fauna: The list of Flora and Fauna found in the Forest Division was collected from the Working Plan (1985-86 to 1994-95) of the division for reference. As the new working plan is still not published, the said working plan is still in operation in the division. The list of flora and fauna found in the region was prepared by conducting field survey and by discussions with concerned Forest Department personnel using the list available in the Working Plan as a base. Generation of primary data through systematic ecological studies: The phyto-sociology of the vegetation (covering frequency, density, abundance and species diversity) in the forest areas falling in the study area was determined by conducting field studies in selected areas (by laying suitable sizes of quadrate). Discussion with local people so as to elicit information about local plant and animals 3 . General Features of the Area The Study area falls under the climatic zone “Tropical wet and dry” (Koppen Classification), under agro-climatic zone 2“ Eastern Plateau and Hills Region” and under agro-ecological zone “Eastern Plateau and Hill regions -hot sub-humid eco-region characterized by hot dry sub- humid ecosystem with Red and Lateritic soils. The vegetation / forest in the study area falls under Tropical Dry Deciduous (Dry peninsular Sal Type SB/C/C) as per Champion & Seth (1968). The East Singhbhum district is seismically stable and falls under the Seismic Zone II as per Seismic Zone India Map IS:1893-2002, BIS, GoI, referred as Low Damage Risk Zone and the probable seismic intensity as expressed in Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MSK) is category- VI or less, which is referred to as Low Damage Risk Zone.

The status of individual species was assessed using the revised IUCN/SSC category system (WCMC, 1988; IUCN, 1994; WCMC, 2000; IUCN, 2001, 2003, 2008, 2010. CHAPTER 3 STATUS FOR FLORA AND FAUNA Flora & Fauna of the Study Area There are some forest stretches in the study area. However, the area is totally agricultural-rural and thus no important wildlife species are found in the study area. Due to human interference, in general the availability of animals in the study area is low.The biotic pressurein the area on wild animals is reported due to industrialization. In study area among the fauna reported are few rodents, reptiles and birds. Large mammals are reported in nearby forest areas. Among the Scheduled animals species reported in study area areVaranus benghalensis(I), Python(I), Cobra(II), Common langur (II), leopard (I), Jungal Cat (II), Porcupine (IV), Mongoos (II), Wild bore (III), Barking dear (III), Blue Bull (III), etc.

    Grass Genera in Townsville

    Grass Genera in Townsville Nanette B. Hooker Photographs by Chris Gardiner SCHOOL OF MARINE and TROPICAL BIOLOGY JAMES COOK UNIVERSITY TOWNSVILLE QUEENSLAND James Cook University 2012 GRASSES OF THE TOWNSVILLE AREA Welcome to the grasses of the Townsville area. The genera covered in this treatment are those found in the lowland areas around Townsville as far north as Bluewater, south to Alligator Creek and west to the base of Hervey’s Range. Most of these genera will also be found in neighbouring areas although some genera not included may occur in specific habitats. The aim of this book is to provide a description of the grass genera as well as a list of species. The grasses belong to a very widespread and large family called the Poaceae. The original family name Gramineae is used in some publications, in Australia the preferred family name is Poaceae. It is one of the largest flowering plant families of the world, comprising more than 700 genera, and more than 10,000 species. In Australia there are over 1300 species including non-native grasses. In the Townsville area there are more than 220 grass species. The grasses have highly modified flowers arranged in a variety of ways. Because they are highly modified and specialized, there are also many new terms used to describe the various features. Hence there is a lot of terminology that chiefly applies to grasses, but some terms are used also in the sedge family. The basic unit of the grass inflorescence (The flowering part) is the spikelet. The spikelet consists of 1-2 basal glumes (bracts at the base) that subtend 1-many florets or flowers.

    Bago University Research Journal, 2018, Vol. 8, No. 1 Morphological Study on Nine Species of the Family Poaceae from Some Area of East Bago Region Ni Ni Aye* Abstract Poaceae is widely distributed family among the angiosperms. In these results, tribe Paniceae comprises 9 speeies and 7 genera of sub- family Panicoideae were collected in some area of East Bago Region. The morphological study on 9 species, 7 genera of sub- family Panicoideae are presented. Taxonomy descriptions are accompanied by the photographs of habits, ligules, inflorescences, spikelets and parts of the florets. Keywords: Poaceae, East Bago Area Introduction All grasses belong to the family Poaceae (Gramineae) of order Poales. Presently there are about 780 genera and 12,000 species of grasses on the world and grass dominated ecosystem, including tropical and sub- tropical savannah, temperate grassland and steppe cover more than 30% of earth land surface (willis, 2002). Poaceae are the fifth largest plant family (ESEAP Conference, 2018) in Myanmar, Poaceae is represented by 144 genera and 551 species according to Hundley and Chit Ko Ko, 1987. The appearance of grasses during the late cretaceous and early tertiary also represent the earliest fossil evidence for wind- pollinated herbaceous monocotyledons. Most of grasses are very important economically and ecologically. In this present study, grasses from some area of East Bago Region. In this research presented the subfamily Panicoideae of family Poaceae are classified accordance with Hafliger and Scholz’s classification (1981). 9 species and 7 genera were included in tribe Paniceae. Most genera of this tribe are well adaptation on land and aquatic habitats.

Hodkinson School of Natural Sciences Department of Botany Trinity College University of Dublin, Ireland I Declaration I hereby declare that the contents of this thesis are entirely my own work (except where otherwise stated) and that it has not been previously submitted as an exercise for a degree to this or any other university. I agree that library of the University of Dublin, Trinity College may lend or copy this thesis subject to the source being acknowledged. _______________________ Atchara Teerawatananon II Abstract This thesis has provided a comprehensive taxonomic account of tribe Arundinelleae, and subtribes Chionachninae, Dimeriinae and Germainiinae of the tribe Andropogoneae in Thailand. Complete floristic treatments of these taxa have been completed for the Flora of Thailand project. Keys to genera and species, species descriptions, synonyms, typifications, illustrations, distribution maps and lists of specimens examined, are also presented. Fourteen species and three genera of tribe Arundinelleae, three species and two genera of subtribe Chionachninae, seven species of subtribe Dimeriinae, and twelve species and two genera of Germainiinae, were recorded in Thailand, of which Garnotia ciliata and Jansenella griffithiana were recorded for the first time for Thailand. Three endemic grasses, Arundinella kerrii, A. kokutensis and Dimeria kerrii were described as new species to science. Phylogenetic relationships among major subfamilies in Poaceae and among major tribes within Panicoideae were evaluated using parsimony analysis of plastid DNA regions, trnL-F and atpB- rbcL, and a nuclear ribosomal DNA region, ITS.

Niles WITH INTRODUCTION AND BOTANICAL NOTES By Aones Chase nrntODTJCTiON The Essai d?une Nouvelle Agrostographie ; ou Nouveaux Genres des Graminees; avec figures representant les Oaracteres de tous les Genres, by A. M. F. J. Palisot de Beauvois, published in 1812, is, from the standpoint of the nomenclature of grasses, a very important work, its importance being due principally to its innumerable errors, less so because of its scientific value. In this small volume 69 new genera are proposed and some 640 new species, new binomials, and new names are published. Of the 69 genera proposed 31 are to-day recognized as valid, and of the 640 names about 61 are commonly accepted. There is probably not a grass flora of any considerable region anywhere in the world that does not contain some of Beauvois' names. Many of the new names are made in such haphazard fashion that they are incorrectly listed in the Index Kewensis. There are, besides, a number of misspelled names that have found their way into botanical literature. The inaccuracies are so numerous and the cita- tions so incomplete that only a trained bibliographer* could solve the many puzzles presented. Cornelia D. Niles in connection with her work on the bibliography of grasses, maintained in the form of a card catalogue in the Grass Herbarium, worked out the basis in literature of each of these new names. The botanical problems involved, the interpretation of descriptions and figures, were worked out by Agnes Chase, who is also respon- sible for the translation and summaries from the Advertisement, Introduction, and Principles.
