“…Tectona grandis was the largest contributor to tree density, basal area, biomass, and C stock in these SGs. Tectona grandis is the predominant species of dry and moist deciduous forests (Chaubey et al, 2015), and such single‐species dominance were also reported by Sahu et al (2016), Gandhi and Sundarapandian (2017).…”

“…This trend mirrors a high population of young tree individuals indicating that the studied SGs have favorable conditions for tree growth and survival as observed by Venkateswaran and Parthasarathy (2003) stock in these SGs.

“…The tree C stock exhibited significant positive relationships with tree basal area, distance from the nearest village, and number of years of existence. Increase in tree biomass and C due to increase in basal area is a typical trend in forests as observed by Sahu et al (2016) in Eastern Ghats, Dar et al (2017) in Western Himalaya, Joshi and Dhyani (2019) in Central India, and Kothandaraman et al (2020) in Western Ghats.…”

Sacred groves (SGs) play an important role in the conservation of local biodiversity and provide numerous ecosystem services worldwide. We studied how the ecological status of Central Indian SGs contributes to regional tree diversity and carbon (C) storage. We inventoried the trees in fifty‐nine SGs of Madhya Pradesh and recorded a total of 109 tree species (90 genera, 40 families). The most species‐rich families were Fabaceae, Combretaceae, Malvaceae, and Moraceae. The tree density ranged from 75 to 925 individuals ha−1 (mean: 398 ± 32 individuals ha−1), while basal area varied from 2.5 to 69.2 m2 ha−1 (mean: 24.2 ± 1.9 m2 ha−1). The total C stock {tree C + soil organic C (SOC; 0–30 cm)} ranged from 44.7 to 455.4 Mg C ha−1 (mean: 153.8 ± 9.6 Mg C ha−1) across the SGs. The studied SGs represented 74.7% of the total tree diversity and contained 33.1% higher total C stock than the forests of the state. Tree C stock was significantly positively correlated with tree basal area, distance from the nearest village, and number of years of existence. The present study highlights the crucial role of SGs in sustaining regional biodiversity and storing C in biomass and soil. Continued conservation efforts and contained interventions by people are necessary in order to maintain the current role of these SGs as biodiversity and carbon reservoirs of Central India.

“…In a study, density of disturbed forest was 190 stems ha -1 and of undisturbed forests was 1090 stems ha -1 in a tropical dry deciduous forest of Barnawapara Wildlife Sanctuary (Thakrey et al, 2022). The mean stand density was 479 trees ha -1 and basal area was 15.20 m 2 ha -1 in Deogarh district, belonging to the Eastern Ghats of Odisha, India (Sahu et al, 2016). Similar results found in dry tropical forest in Barnawapara Sanctuary.…”

The present study was conducted in Katghora and Pali Sites in the dry tropical forest of Chhattisgarh, India. The experiment was conducted on Katghora Forest division in July 2018 to June 2019. The stratified random sampling technique was used for quantifying the tree layer vegetation. The results revealed that density and basal area varied from 278 to 333 stems ha-1 and 16.18 to 19.38 m2 ha-1 and was more in Katghora site as compare to Pali site. The concentration of dominance, Shannon index, equitability, species richness and beta diversity ranged from 0.33–0.60, 1.43–2.31, 0.57–0.88, 3.95–4.39 and 2.94–4.17, respectively in Katghora and Pali sites. The stand biomass of tree layer vegetation ranged from 214.65–246.06 t ha-1 in which above ground tree component (AGTC) ranged from 149.66–171.25 t ha-1 and below ground component (BGTC) ranged from 64.99-74.83 t ha-1. The similar pattern in total C storage of tree layer component ranged from 90.51–103.64 t ha-1 in which AGTC of C storage ranged from 67.29-76.91 t ha-1 and BGTC of C storage ranged from 23.22–26.74 t ha-1. The total N storage of tree layer vegetation ranged from 1277.70–1451.93 kg ha-1 in which AGTC of N storage ranged from 913.78–1032.90 kg ha-1 and BGTC of N storage ranged from 363.92–419.03 kg ha-1. The density, basal area, biomass, C storage and N storage was more in Katghora site as compare to Pali site due to more disturbance such as cattle grazing, illegal felling, collection of fuel wood, fodder and NTFPs etc.

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is Egypt's third major fruit crop. The latest study aimed to evaluate 11 foreign mango cultivars Kent, Palmar, Yasmina Rose, Shelly, Nam Doc Mai, Osten, Glenn, Sensation, Kensington Pride, Heidi, and Joa, in two successive seasons of 2018 and 2019, under Egyptian environmental conditions. The experiment comprised a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 11 treatments and three replications to analyze the mango cultivars for floral aspects, fruit yield, its components, and fruit quality characteristics. Results indicated that cultivars Sensation and Yasmina Rose produced the highest fruit yield per tree. Cultivars Osten, Yasmina Rose, and Kent gained the maximum fruit weight. The study noted the uppermost value of fruit retention (%) for cultivars Palmar, Osten, and Joa. As for the initial fruit set, the highest value appeared in cultivars Heidi and Yasmina Rose, while cultivars Heidi and Kensington Pride revealed the highest value of fruit pulp firmness at the early stage of ripening in July. The Shelly cultivar recorded the highest percentage of pulp per fruit, while the lowest fruit fibers and total acidity percentage came from the Glenn cultivar. The fruits of Nam Doc Mai cultivar contained the highest total soluble solids and total sugar percentages, whereas fruits of the Heidi cultivar contained the highest value of vitamin C. Cultivars noted with the alternate bearing habit consisted of Kensington Pride, Palmer, and Shelly, while all other cultivars exhibited regular bearing. Mango cultivars Glenn, Nam Doc Mai, Osten, Kensington Pride, Shelly, Joa, Yasmina Rose, Sensation, Kent, Palmer, and Heidi (first mentioned, most recommended in descending order) received high recommendations for successful cultivation under the Egyptian environmental conditions based on relatively better fruit setting and quality.
