A Total Number of 87 Nodulated Leguminous Species, Collected During the Course of Investigation Were Identified to Species Level and a Lis T Was Prepared 5 . IR e S3 xj. 1 t s St r'l cii D ± s c; xj. s s :i- c> ra 5.1 Collection of leguminous samples A total number of 87 nodulated leguminous species, collected during the course of investigation were identified to species level and a lis t was prepared. When the li s t was checked against the global listin g of nodulated and non-nodulated leguminous species (Allen and Allen 1981 and personal communication) 19 species were found to be new reports to the global list and thus were selected for detailed studies. The details regarding their taxonomic position, habit and place of their collection are given in Table 2. It could be seen from the table that the species comprised one from Caesalpinioideae, seventeen from Papilionoideae and one from Mimosoideae. They included 13 shrubs, 5 arboreal trees and 1 climber. It may be mentioned here that of the 19 species studied, 11 can be considered as rare plants because of the enormous d iffic u ltie s encountered during their collection. The 19 species were studied in detail for their nodule morphology. A special mention may be made here of the nodulation of 5 tree legumes wherein examination for the presence of nodules on the roots becomes normally d iffic u lt. The details regarding occurrance and position of nodules on the roots and their description v i z size, shape, interio r and exterior colour and surface are given in Table 3.

The root nodules of the 19 species exhibited different shapes, sizes and colours. As fcr the out side colour, all the nodules showed a variety of colours ranging from light brown to dark brown except for flucuna monosperma which had black coloured nodules. It may be mentioned here that Dolichos lablab, Centrosema pubescens and Macroptilium atropurpureum have been reported to be having black coloured nodules (Cloonan 1963, Brockwell 1980}. When the nodules were cut, following 13 species viz. A3ysicarpus~ pubescens, Atylosia sericea, Crotalaria albida, C.calycina, C.leptostachya, C.triqetra, Dalbergia lanceolaria, Erythrina suberosa, Indigofera cassioides, Priotropsis cystisoides, Rhynchosia ro th ii, Smithia salsuginea and Tephrosia pauciflora had pink coloured interior. The remaining six species v iz . Cassia k le in ii, Butea monosperma, Erythrina stricta, Mucuna monosperma, Tephrosia tinetoria and Acacia tbmentosa, on the other hand, had reddish to brown colouration of the in te rio r. As for the shape of the nodules, Cassia kle in ii, Alysicarpus pubescens, Atylosia sericea, Butea monosperma, Pelbergia lanceolaria, Erythrina stricta, F.suberosa, Indigofera 48 cassioides and Acacia tomentosa had globose shape (F ig .2) Crotalaria albida, Rhynchosia rothii, Tephrosia pauciflora and T .tinctoria had elongate shape (Fig. 3), Crotalaria leptostachya , C . tr iquetra and Priotropsis cys 11 soi,des had bifurcate shape (Fig.4) C.albida, C.calycina and C.triquetra had fan shaped nodules (F ig .5) C.leptostachya and P.cystiso ides had Coralloid nodules (F ig .6] and Smith1 a salsucinea had siamese nodules (F ig .7). Tlie nodules o ^ Mucuna monosperma were irregular in shape (F ig .8). According to Corby (1971) and Lim and Ng (1977) nodule shapes are characteristics of legume species and independent of Rhi zobium strain s. As for the size of the nodules, it ranged between 2 mm to 18 mm, the smallest being shown by Smithia salsuginea and largest by Crotalaria leptostachya. As for the surface of the nodules, i: varied from smooth to hard and woody. In case of Frythrina suberosa the hard surface of nodule also showed whitish streaks. The data thus show that nodulation on 19 wild leguminous species is a first report. 5.2 Isolation and Identification of root nodule bacteria The details of the growth of the isolates from root nodules of 19 leguminous spp. on YB>! agar are given in Table 4, together with the results of Ketolactose test, growth in 0) vj- u.D’ U'J u (/} rC Cj • H rt X X rC ■fj 4-> rC 4-> rC rC 4-> u-» X J-J a) ciO":3 tO 'O o o t O cj)nd CO O •#-> 'H D o :3 ^ o o o ;n. o ::3 -*--> o o o rt e G c E O CTj o E cy^ 1/1 c^: a:: CO lO q : CO Cr: cx in rC q; tn (/) T3 ■M P •H •H •H c •H rP ^ 'T^ in t/) o P r: r:J C C q P •T3 o P •ri f~.

Khamkar PhD Scholar, Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, VJTI, Mumbai-400019, Maharashtra, India Sumedh Y. Mhaske Associate Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, VJTI, Mumbai-400019, Maharashtra, India ABSTRACT Verandha Ghat Section is connecting shield-plateau region with Konkan Coastal Belt (KCB) through Bhor Ghat area. Therefore, it is considered as a lifeline of Bhor (in Pune district) and Mahad (Raigarh District of Konkan), of western Maharashtra corridor. Geologically, this region belongs to Ambenali and Mahabaleshwar – Poladpur formation. The area shows thick flows of the Deccan Trap basalt of Upper Cretaceous to Eocene age. All the rock flows of this formation, exposed along this highway are in the form of rock cutting along the Pandharpur-Mahad Maharashtra State Highway -70, in the 74 km Ghat section from Bhor (part of Sahyadri Uplands, from Pune district) onwards and before Mahad (part of Konkan Coastal Belt from Raigarh district) of Maharashtra, are highly susceptible for landslide activity. A detailed exploration was carried out on all along the road section started from Bhor city and it extends up to the Varandah village, at the foot hill of Sahyadri, in Konkan region. In the present context, detailed investigations of the mass movement were carried out to prepare the map of highly vulnerable locations, in the study area.

  • Pune Urban Biodiversity-A Case of Millennium
    .. "- \. ill } JOURNAL OF ECOLOGICAL SOCIETY Val.s 13 and 14, 2000-2001 Biodiversity Profile of an Urban Area Special Double Issue Foreword Urban biodiversity sounds like a misnomer! What diversity of (non-human) life a burgeoning city with three million plus human population is likely to retain? The proof of the pudding is in eating. Here is a gallant attempt to draw a picture of the extant biodiversity of the Pune urban area based on field-work. Enthusiastic collegians under the guidance of their teachers have probed various natural and urban habitats to complete this picture. The wherewithal was provided by Ranwa, a Pune-based NGO deeply interested in the study and conservation of nature. The guest editors for this volume, Prof. Sanjeev Nalavade and Utkarsh Ghate, themselves involved in inspiring this effort have painstakingly edited the available material to give a shape and form that is at once interesting and informative. Hopefully this effort will prove a bench-mark and a useful guide in formulating the future development policies and plans of the Pune urban area. This special double issue is grandly embellished by excellent photographs. Thanks to the contribution made by leading nature photographers of Pune. The web of life that still permeates our urban setting proves the tenacity and adaptive capacities of natural beings in the face of insuperable odds. Notwith- standing the loss of invertebrates and fish species and some of the interesting birds, nature shows extraordinary capabilities to cling to whatever habitat traces that remain. We, the citizens of Pune, must remember that the biodiversity pictured here is not because of any conscious efforts on our part.

  • Description of the Region (Geographical Extent, Topography, Climate, and Vegetation)
    Description of the Region (Geographical extent, topography, climate, and vegetation) The Maharashtra state is about 800 km east-west and 700 km north-south, an irregular dentate pentagon, lying between 22" r-16 " 4' north latitude and 72 " 6'-80 " 9' east longitude, covering an area of 3,07,690 sq km. It is limited to the west by the Arabian Sea, making a long coastline of 720 km. by Goa and Karnataka to the south, by Andhra Pradesh on the south-east, and Madhya Pradesh on the north, and Gujarat to its north-west (Map 1). Western Ghats or Sahyadri separate coastal strip of Konkan from rest of the plateau and thereby altitude ranges from mean sea level to about 1200 m on Western Ghats (with some highest peaks in the range like Kalsubai- 1654 m, Mahabaleshwar- 1382 m) and about 200-900 m over the rest. Average rainfall in the state varies from 250 cm in Konkan to 60-75 cm in Marathwada and again increasing to 150 cm towards eastern most part of Maharashtra that is Vidarbha. It forms a large part of Indian Peninsula. Similarly temperature varies between I5"C-47''C. Relative humidity fluctuate between 15% to 90%. Nearly 21% of the geographical area is under forest. Physiography Physiographically the state is divided into 5 divisions 1. Konkan, 2. Deccan or Desh, 3. Khandesh, 4. Marathwada and 5. Vidarbha (Map 2). Konkan, a narrow coastal strip of the west of Sahyadris, varies between 27-48 km in breadth and 800 km in length from Goa to Tapi Basin.

The study revealed the presence of 24 species of fish belonging to eight orders (Cypriniformes, Siluriformes, Perciformes, Osteoglossiformes, Synbranchiformes, Clupeiformes, Mugiliformes and Aulopiformes). The predominant orders of fishes in this area (Sangavi) are Cypriniformes, Siluriformes and Perciformes. The highest number of ten species was recorded in the order Cypriniformes. The fishes recorded were found to be widely distributed and were present in good numbers in the river.
