The soils of Jalgaon district India are black cotton soils where economically important crop like Cotton are growing.These soils are rich in fungi which are largely used in Biotechnology based industries. Before using them, it is very important to identify them correctly. For the isolation and identification of these soil fungi, the soil samples were collected from different soil types viz: cultivated, on-cultivated, forest and river from the Jalgaon district. In this book, the authors have described 138 species of soil fungi belonging to 50 genera. All the species are described with their Camera Lucida drawings and photographs. The occurrence and seasonal distribution of these fungi has also been studied. Different fungal species isolated were selected to study the effect of different culture media, pH andtemperature on their growth. To evaluate the ecological findings an...

The selection of suitable tree species depends on the response of trees to air pollution and can be understood by analyzing the factors that determine resistance and susceptibility. In order to evaluate the resistance and susceptibility level of plant species to air pollutants, twelve different plant species i.e. Polyalthia longifolia, Nerium indicum, Tabernamontana divariata, Cassia saimia, plumeria rubra, leucaena leucocephala, Azadirachta indica, Zizipus zizuba, Ficus religeosa, Boughanvellia spectabilis, Annona squamosa & Alstonia Scholaris was taken from Residential (S1), Commercial (SII) & Industrial (SIII) area of the city as this flora is very much common to the Jalgaon city & is planted on the roadside. The quality of air with respect to SPM, SO2 and NO2 has been also assessed on respective sites to see its effect on biochemical parameters of the leaves i.e. pH, total water content, chlorophyll and as...

Large quantities of solid waste generated from the residences, commercial, municipal and hospitals are dumped in open land areas. Such dumping causes environmental pollution by deteriorating the ground water quality, encourage the breeding of disease-vector insects, animal scavengers and rodents resulting in spreading of air and water borne diseases. The present study was conducted to assess the health and hygiene conditions due to open solid waste dumping in Tambapura area. To carry out the study, the ground water samples were collected and analyzed for various physical, chemical and biological parameters to assess the contamination due to solid waste dumping. The health impacts were studied by systematic review of water borne and vector borne diseases that had affected adults and children’s in this region. T...

Due to limitation of man power, money or resources the issue requires first to point out most critical area i.e. Geo-spatiotemporal hotspot and then prioritize it so the most needed area always concern first. Geo-spatiotemporal hotspot detection is a scan statistical process that identifies a region exhibiting characteristics of interest (unusual, anomaly, outbreak, critical resources area) over the period. The hotspot detection is a statistical process. It requires geospatial dataset as an input which includes two variables for hotspot detection, Size or Population and Response or Cases. In deforestation hotspot detection, size variable is a total area of forest while response variable is a deforested area. In this paper we figure out deforestation hotspot using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) as a response variable. The paper presents and elaborates algorithm that causes use of NDVI as a response variable. This paper discusses the multi-criteria or multi-indicator ranking methods using Partially Order Set (POSET) which uses as a prioritization tool.

Focus is on native trees, shrubs and vertebrate fauna in landscapes having a naturalistic character, with particular concern for land cover dynamics in relation to viability and sustainability of ecosystems and ecosystem services to humanity such as water resources. Emphasis is placed on prospectus for surveillance of landscape condition using geospatial technologies of remote sensing and geographic information systems.

Out of them two forest soils, Pal and Manudevi forests were selected for the studies. Total 53 and 52 species belonging to 21 and 24 genera of fungi were isolated from these soils respectively. Deuteromycotina members were dominant. Aspergillus was the dominant genus from both these soils. Each forest soil has unique mycoflora. Some of the species showed remarkable seasonal distribution from these soils. Maximum number of fungi were isolated from Pal forest soils during winter season, while maximum species were isolated from Manudevi forest soils during rainy season.
