BIODIVERSITY AND PHYTOSOCIOLOGICAL STUDIES OF UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM RIPARIAN AREAS OF PAKISTAN: SPECIAL REFERENCE TO TAUNSA WILDLIFE SANCTUARY AND KETI SHAH FORESTS
...cture and composition of riverine floral diversity in low riparian zone of River Indus. The data was collected from Keti Shah forest and Taunsa wildlife sanctuary. Total 14259 plants/individuals were recorded, which belong to 54 plant species with 18 different families. In Taunsa pre-monsoon survey, total 30 plant species were found with 4476 plants from 16 different families. In Taunsa post-monsoon survey total 3348 individuals were recorded from 20 plant spe...

...d is mixed comprising of riverine, plateau, mountainous and semi-hilly areas showed 52.2% prevalence. When immunity status was taken into account it was found that vaccinated animals showed very low prevalence, i.e. 4.39% as compared to non-vaccinated animals having 66.53%. Another risk factor age suggested that younger animals were more affected (60.17%) as compared to older ones (29.41%). It was also observed that animals in closed housing system were...

...t analysis indicate that riverine otolith stocks had higher rates of successful classification compared with lacustrine otolith stocks, and stocks of otoliths from the Chargut Co and the Kyaring Co lakes had the highest rates of misclassification. Although a 70% classification success rate was produced by Bochu Tsangpo, the differences in otolith shape among 11 stocks were not very noteworthy. The information generated in this research can be used as a referen...

...diversity (h) among five riverine population was observed high in Satluj 0.5832 while lowest in Chenab 0.2173 which reflecting high genetic diversity in Satluj while lowest genetic diversity in Chenab. UPGMA dendrogram revealed that Indus and Jehlum riverine populations, and Satluj and Ravi populations of N. notopterus has close genetic similarity. Maximum likelihood tree revealed that N. notopterus identified from Pakistan ...

Results from the PCR-DGGE analysis showed differences in bacterial diversity, density, and banding patterns along the gut of buffaloes. Higher bacterial diversity, density, and ban...

...raria (Kandi) species in riverine forests is very important operation for the development of forestry in Sindh. All the operations of regeneration process from seed collection to the protection of regeneration area require special attention in order to obtain the desired success. The artificial regeneration process includes three phases viz. pre-abkalani (before the arrival of inundation water), mid-abkalani (while inundation water is receding) and post-abkala...

... carbon inventory in the riverine forests of Sukkur was conducted during January-March, 2018. Data was collected from 751 sample plots using a systematic random sampling technique. The total carbon stock in the study area is 303,110 tonnes. Out of this 81% is in the soil, 10% in aboveground biomass, 6% in belowground biomass and 3% in litter. Mean carbon density was estimated as 41.55 t/ha in the landscape. Mean aboveground carbon density was determined at 4.6...

Data was collected from 751 sample plots laid out in different forest areas through a systematic random sampling design using a grid of 500 m x 500 m. It was found that the Riverine forests of Sukkur are highly degraded, and only 28% of the forest cover exists. Species diversity is quite low as only 7 different species were recorded during the field measurements. ...
