    Responses of Zn and Cd treatment in soybean and fenugreek
    (University of North Bengal, 2012-03) Aery, NC; Sarkar, S
    The effect of various doses of' zinc and cadmium on morpho-anatomical and physiological parameters of soybean and fenugreek was studied. High concentrations of both Zn as well as Cd resulted in chlorosis, necrosis, retardation of growth and reduction in leaflet size especially in soybean. A characteristic symptom was the formation of a red-brown pigment in the leaves, stem and roots. An increase in the phenolic contents was also observed with increasing Cd doses. The reasons for the formation of pigment have been explored.

    Change of vegetation structure in Gorumara National Park due to anthropogenic interferences
    (University of North Bengal, 2009-03) Sarkar, A; Sarkar, S; Das, AP
    The impact of Human intervention on species composition, biomass and soil structure in the exploited and unexploited areas of Shorea robusta forest in a part of Gorumara National Park has been evaluated. The areas are adjacent to the Bichhabhanga-Saraswati Eco-Development Committee. The tree species are identical to both areas but differ in their density, frequency and IVI. Tree biomass is smaller in disturbed areas as compared to non-disturbed areas. Due to over exploitation changes occurred in the physical characters of soil. Crown cover also varies significantly within the two sites.
