Hill slopes in Uttarakhand Himalaya are observed for their largescale slope destabilization. Landslides are among hydro-geological hazard in the fragile geology of the state which cause huge losses in terms of biodiversity, infrastructure, time and human life. This paper highlights presence and diversity of mycorrhizal species in landslides prone areas in locality of selected highways in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. Eight (08) AM fungi, viz., G. macrocarpum, G. fasciculatum, F. coronatum, A. laevis, A. foveata, A. tuberculata, A. sporocarpia and A. myriocarpa were found in 20 large landslide areas. Acaulosporaceae was found dominant family followed by Glomeraceae. Spore density of G. macrocarpum was the highest with 13 spores/100 g soil. The percentage of importance value varied from 7.16 to 21.59. Results of present paper may endorse the use of AM fungi in restoration the unstable soil profiles.

Based on recent collections, the present communication reports the presence of authentic Thelypteris repanda (Fée) C.V.Morton for the first time from India. Its distinction from another rare and allied species, Thelypteris birii (R.D.Dixit & Balkr.) Fraser-Jenk. is made clear. T. repanda was recently excluded from India, as all previous reports of it were misidentifications, but it has now been confirmed from two collections from Arunachal Pradesh, one of which had been misreported as a S.E. Asian species, T. megacuspis, in error. Both species are currently known in India from Arunachal Pradesh, with T. birii also occurring just over its border in northern Assam State. Detailed descriptions and photographs of these two species are provided with specimen citations.

A nursery trial was conducted to study the effects of root pruning on the seedling growth and other parameters of Juniperus polycarpos. Roots of two-year-old seedlings of J. polycarpos were pruned at different levels and transplanted in polybags of size 9’’ × 5” filled with potting media comprising soil, sand, and farm yard manure (2:1:1). Maximum growth of various seedling parameters, viz., shoot length (42.90 cm), root length (38.40 cm), collar diameter (6.16 mm), number of roots (45.93) and biomass, viz., fresh shoot biomass (24.03 g), fresh root biomass (6.35 g), total fresh biomass (30.38 g), dry shoot biomass (10.21 g), dry root biomass (2.48 g), total dry biomass (12.69 g), weight of secondary + tertiary roots (0.61 g) were recorded in seedlings in which 5 cm roots were retained after pruning, whereas, minimum growth of seedling parameters and biomass was recorded in seedlings in which no root pruning was done. The maximum value of seedling quality parameters, viz., volume index (1627.86), Quality index (1.14), and ratio of secondary + tertiary roots to total root biomass (0.08) was also observed in seedlings in which 5 cm roots were retained after pruning. The study suggests that roots of J. polycarpos may be pruned up to 5 cm in length for production of quality nursery stock.

Some alien species result in significant undesirable impacts on the native biodiversity and create serious hindrance to its conservation and sustainable use. Two such species, viz., Alternanthera ficoidea and Pueraria montana var. lobata are found to be spreading vigorously in Doon Valley of Uttarakhand. The former is an herbaceous species seriously infesting the open spaces throughout the Doon Valley, whereas, the latter is a climber infesting entire vegetation in Dehradun area.

We studied the bryophyte species richness and micro-habitat occupancy in a mixed oak-conifer forest (2100-2600 m) at Naina Peak, Nainital, Uttarakhand, India. The north-facing mesic site of the forest supported a greater diversity of bryophytes than that of the south-facing drier site. Altogether 146 species of bryophytes including 16 thalloid, 15 leafy liverworts, 2 hornworts and 113 mosses belonging to 48 families were documented. Amongst hepatics, leafy forms particularly the members of Frullaniaceae were found dominant over thalloid liverworts. The forest was found to support the dominant growth of acrocarpous mosses (57) followed by pleurocarpous (56). Amongst acrocarpous, the family Pottiaceae was recorded as predominant followed by the members of the pleurocarpous family Brachytheciaceae. The bryophyte species and communities associated with oak phorophytes were found to be richer and more abundant than that of the coniferous ones. Interestingly, 21 species of both liverworts and mosses turned out to be gemmiferous.

Bamboos suffer from insect damage, in varying degree, right from the seed to the finished products by as many as 212 insect species. Chlorophorus annularis (Cerambycidae: Coleoptera) is one of the serious pests on dry bamboo. Three preservatives, viz., CCB (Copper sulphate, Chrome and Boric acid), Borax and ZiBOC (Copper sulphate, Borax, Zinc chloride) at 6 per cent concentration by pressure, and dipping method were used for the control of C. annularis. CCB 6% preservative after 7 days of dipping yielded a maximum of 76.62 average per cent borer control in dry bamboo followed by 4 days of dipping (71.17%), 2 days of dipping (48.06%) and after 1 hour of dipping (45.88% borer control). Preservatives used for the control of bamboo borer damaging cut and dry bamboo were quite effective and the methodology applied was environmentally safe. For post-harvest management of dry bamboo, ZiBOC or CCB 6% preservative after 7 days of of dipping is recommended for effective borer control.
