The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of Chlorpyrifos (CP-20% EC) on the growth and development of soybean (Glycine max), soil fertility, and soil microbiome. We conducted a pot experiment to assess the impact of different concentrations of chlorpyrifos; recommended dose (RD) and higher dose rates (2Â and 4Â RD). Chlorpyrifos application significantly altered the growth parameters in soybean (p < 0.05). At higher concentrations (2Â and 4Â RD) shoot length (17.16 ± 1.04; 14.33 ± 1.15, p < 0.05), root length (3.40 ± 0.36; 2.66 ± 0.28, p < 0.050), leaf count (6.33 ± 0.57; 2.66 ± 0.57; p < 0.05) reduced significantly compared to RD and Control groups. Similarly at these concentrations (2Â and 4Â RD), significant reduction in fresh shoot weight (0.86 ± 0.008; 0.66 ± 0.002, p < 0.05), dry shoot weight (0.14 ± 0.001; 0.13 ± 0.003, p < 0.05) and root fresh weight (0.13 ± 0.001; 0.09 ± 0.003, p < 0.05) and root dry weight (0.030 ± 0.0005, 0.037 ± 0.003, p < 0.05) was observed compared to the RD and control group. Notably, a significant increase in root and shoot morphometric parameters was observed in RD compared to control (p < 0.05). All the physio-chemical properties such as pH (8.51 ± 0.82), moisture content (33.73 ± 0.04), and electrical conductivity (3.44 ± 0.03) were higher in CP-treated soils compared to control. Similarly, nutrient content such as nitrogen, carbon, and hydrogen were significantly reduced in treated soils compared to control. Elemental analysis showed higher concentrations of As, Cd, and Pb in CP-treated

The forest is classified as a tropical dry deciduous type, with teak Tectona grandis as the predominant species. Extensive field trips were carried out during 2018–2020 to document the medicinally important tree species. The medicinal importance of these plants was recorded through interviews, group discussions with local tribal communities and on the basis of the literature available. Enumeration of tree species in this area showed occurrence of 50 tree species belonging to 37 genera and 21 families. The study further observed that several species were being used as traditional medicine by the local tribal folks, traditional healers in the study area, and also by pharmaceutical industries. The study observed that some species in the sanctuary were rare due to several developmental projects, forest destruction, and over-exploitation. The study provides details about the botanical identity, family, local name,...

However, a number of factors like climatic condition, soil, disturbance, management practice, geographic location etc. have huge impact on WSG variation. The present data set provides a collective WSG data for different species (333) consisting of 711 individuals procured from already published research paper for 11 forest groups of India occurring in different climatic and edaphic conditions. It also includes WSG data of a number of juvenile tree species for tropical dry deciduous forest. A number of studies in India have not considered WSG value in biomass estimation of juvenile trees. However, previous reports of Chaturvedi et al. (2012) suggested that the use of WSG in biomass estimation provide better result than using only the diameter and height as variables. It also includes samples/ species column for getting information about the number of samples consid...

However, due to massive logistical and financial challenges and taxonomic difficulties connected to the species concept definition, the global numbers of species, including those of important and well-studied life forms such as trees, still remain largely unknown. Here, based on global ground-sourced data, we estimate the total tree species richness at global, continental, and biome levels. Our results indicate that there are ∼73,000 tree species globally, among which ∼9,000 tree species are yet to be discovered. Roughly 40% of undiscovered tree species are in South America. Moreover, almost one-third of all tree species to be discovered may be rare, with very low populations and limited spatial distribution (likely in remote tropical lowlands and mountains). These findings highlight the vulnerability of global forest biodiversity to anthropogenic changes in land use and climate, which disproport...
