“…The large seed was reported to have better field performance than the small seed [6]. Genotypes with large seed sizes were also shown to be better adapted to drought stress as compared to small seeds [7,8]. In peanuts, enhanced final germination in larger seeds also led to an improvement in the germination index and the seedling vigor index [9].…”

Seed size is one of a quantitative indicator of seed quality that influences the plant performance and is often associated with yield. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of seed size on germination and seedling vigor in jack beans. The research was carried out in Malang, Indonesia, using local jack bean cultivars from Tanggamus (Lampung, Indonesia). The study was arranged in a completely randomized design with seed size as treatment. The effect of seed size on germination percentage, seed vigor, and seedling morphology was studied. The classification for the seed size in this study was the large seed (1.81 g/seed), medium seed (1.40 g/seed), and small seed (0.95 g/seed). Small and medium seeds have the speed and simultaneity of emerging cotyledons on the fifth day. Small seeds had the highest germination percentage than medium and large seeds on the sixth day. The relationship between GP and seed vigor variables was not significant, however, GP and seed vigor features are determined by emerging cotyledon, germination, and some seedling morphological characters. The vigor parameters (MDG, PV, GV, and GI) of small seed sizes were higher than those of medium and large seed sizes. The medium seed size of jack beans produces a better seedling morphology than other seed sizes. It was concluded that although medium seeds produce a better seedling growth yet small seeds could also be used for successful jack bean production.

The Himalayan forests are a crucial global carbon reservoir contributing significantly to carbon mitigation efforts. Although situated within a singular climatic zone, Himalayan forests display diverse forest types within a short distance due to variations in altitudes, mountain ranges, slopes, and aspects. This study aimed to estimate ecosystem carbon storage (comprising plant biomass, deadwood, litter, and soil organic carbon (SOC), allocation, evaluate carbon sequestration and carbon credit potential in chir-pine (Pinus roxburghii Sarg.), deodar (Cedrus deodara (Roxb.) G.Don), oak (Quercus leucotrichophora A. Camus), and sal (Shorea robusta (Roth) forests in the central Himalaya. Volumetric equations were utilised across diverse tree species and supplemented by field sampling, particularly employing the quadrat method to quantify tree biomass. The carbon stocks within ecosystems varied considerably, ranging between 122.44 and 306.44 Mg C ha-1, with discernible differences among forest types, with oak forests exhibiting the highest carbon stock, followed by deodar and sal forests, and pine forests showing the lowest. The allocation of ecosystem carbon stocks among different components, including tree (21–34%), soil (64–77%), deadwood (0.9–0.35%), and litter (0.46–1.20%), demonstrated significant variability. The Mantel test revealed the significant influence of environmental factors on carbon storage. Carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration ranged from 448.98 (pine forest) to 1123.16 (oak forest) Mg CO2 ha−1, while carbon credit values ranged from 1346.96 EUR ha-1 (pine forests) to 3379.49 EUR ha-1 (oak forest). In the study, dominant trees in various forest types contribute to higher carbon storage in their biomass and forest soil, resulting in greater carbon credits. Present research evaluates the ecosystem carbon storage, CO2 sequestration potential, and carbon credit valuation for major forests in the central Himalaya. By incorporating these findings into forest management plans and strategies, the carbon sequestration potential and carbon trading of the central Himalayan forest ecosystem in India can be enhanced.
