Quantitative profile structure of certain forests in the Kumaun Himalaya
The structure of forests occurring within the north-western catchment of the river Gola in Kumaun Himalaya is quantitatively described. All the forestt indicated a total of four strata; two upper strata represented by trees, the third stratum represented mainly by shrubs, and the fourth of herbs. The tree heighs of the

The paper examines the effect of water stress and clipping treatments on growth behaviour and nutrient value of 4 grasses, viz.,
Biomass, net production, relative growth rates were affected more markedly and adversely in the two C4 species due to water stress. The effect of clipping varied with species and was generally more marked and adverse in two C4 species. The C3 plants developed higher R:S ratio under water stress. Water stress resulted in a greater decline of total non-structural carbohydrate and protein content in the two C4 species. Clipping affected adversely the nonstructural carbohydrate content and again the effect was more marked in the two C4 species. On the other hand, protein content in shoots of all plants increased due to clipping.
