Description & Coverage
Description:

Tropical dry forests are the most exploited and endangered ecosystems in the world. A combination of climatic and human factors often reduce these forests to patches of dry scrubs or savannas. Because these ecosystems experience a more arduous and less anticipated environment, they are more prone to environmental stress as plant communities are developed. Therefore, urgent research is necessary to understand both the detrimental issues and problem-solving approaches to conserving these important forests.

The Handbook of Research on the Conservation and Restoration of Tropical Dry Forests is a pivotal reference source that combines theory and practice on the current trends and issues in this important ecological subject and discusses future challenges towards conservation strategies of these tropical dry forests. While highlighting topics such as forest management, natural regeneration, and silviculture, this publication examines the anthropogenic impacts on tropical dry forests and the necessity to rebuild their ecosystems. This book is ideally designed for state forest agency professionals, resource managers, non-governmental organization agents, ecologists, botanists, environmentalists, students, and researchers seeking current research on the threats to these forests.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Altitudinal Gradients
  • Anthropogenic Effects
  • Biodiversity
  • Climate Change
  • Forest Fires
  • Forest Management
  • Natural Regeneration

He has published more than 15 papers, five book chapters, and a book in the internationally-reputed journals of ecology/reputed publishers. Current research areas are 'Management of Soil C Dynamics to Mitigate Climate Change', 'A perspective on tree seedling survival and growth attributes in tropical dry forests under the realm of Climate Change' and 'Plant community assembly, functional diversity and soil attributes along forest-savanna-grassland continuum in India'.

Sachchidanand Tripathi did his post graduation and Ph.D. from Department of Botany, Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Varanasi, India. His areas of interest are forest ecology, restoration ecology, aquatic ecology, and eco-physiology. He has published more than 12 research papers in peer reviewed reputed international journals, five books with international publishers, 7 book chapters in books published by Elsevier, Springer etc. He has also edited a conference proceedings. He is interested in collaborating with scholars from the same fields as well as from other disciplines of interest.

Pratap Srivastava has recently completed his doctoral degree in Botany from Department of Botany, Banaras Hindu University. His research topic incorporates studies of soil microbial ecology in relation to SOC dynamics for the improvement of soil quality and for mitigation of global climate change.

Pardeep Singh is presently working as Assistant professor (Department of Environmental Science PGDAV College University of Delhi New Delhi India. He has obtained his master degree from Department of Environmental Science Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi India in 2011.
