BIBLIOGRAPHY OF BRYOPHYTESEPTRI - ENVIS Newsletteranthropogenic and accessibility factors have beengathered corresponding with fire presence/absence. Alogistic regression model was used to estimate theprobability of the presence of fires as a function of theexplanatory variables. Results for fire area estimates2suggested that, of the total fires covering 47,043kmthat occurred during the year 2000 for the entireIndian region, 29.0% occurred in the Deccan Plateau,with Andhra Pradesh having 13.5%, Karnataka14.7%, Kerala 0.1%, and Tamilnadu 1.15%. Resultsfrom the logistic regression suggest that the strongestinfluences on the fire occurrences were the amount offorest area, biomass densities, rural populationdensity (PD), average precipitation of the warmestquarter, elevation (ELE) and mean annualtemperature (MAT). Among these variables, biomassdensity (BD) and average precipitation of thewarmest quarter had the highest significance,followed by others. These results on the bestpredictors of forest fires can be used both as a strategicplanning tool to address broad scale fire riskconcerns, and also as a tactical guide to help forestmanagers to design fire mitigation measures at thedistrict level.Behera, S.

Abovegroundtree biomass in a recovering tropical sal (Shorearobusta Gaertn. f.) forest of Eastern Ghats, India.Biomass and Bioenergy, 30(6): 509-521Aboveground biomass of individual treespecies by component and total biomass per unit areafor four different stages of a recovering tropical drydeciduous forest stands, dominated by sal (Shorearobusta Gaertn. f.) of the Eastern Ghats, India wereinvestigated during 2001–2002. Different periods ofrecovering (2, 4, 6, and 10-year) forest stands (84°132E, 20°292 N) were selected in the Kandhamal districtof Orissa, India and sample trees of all species wereharvested. Tree species diversity was 23, 23, 21 and22 in 2, 4, 6, and 10-year recovering stands,respectively. Species-wise Ixora pavetta showed thehighest biomass in 2 and 4-year stands while Shorearobusta in 6 and 10-year stands. Component-wise, inall species, bole–wood contribution ranged between22.6% and 60.9%. Aboveground tree biomass, in allthe stands, was dominated by Shorea robusta, which”1ranged between 12.68 and 231.91 Mg ha . Totalaboveground tree biomass was 30.12, 49.21, 107.54”1and 261.08 Mg ha in 2, 4, 6 and 10-year stands,respectively.7Vol. 15, No.1, 2009BIBLIOGRAPHY OF BRYOPHYTESAhmad, S. 1942.
