The present communication reports 12 new lichen species for the first time from the state of Andhra Pradesh. Many of them were foliose lichens while Chrysothrix chlorina, Diorygma junghuhnii and Hafellia curatellae are the only crustose forms. A brief description of the species and their distribution in India are provided for all the taxa. The checklist of 43 lichens so far reported from Andhra Pradesh is also provided. The study clearly indicates the enormous scope for lichenological investigations in the state and could act as baseline for future biomonitoring, bioprospection and biodiversity studies.Keywords

The study was aimed to estimate standing biomass and carbon stocks in linear, scattered and block structures of trees outside forests through non-destructive method in Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh. A total of 45.65 ha area was sampled in the district for this purpose. The study recorded a total of 19 species from linear plots, 35 species from scattered and 8 species in blocks with mean stem density of 18.2, 100.5 and 153.8 individuals' ha-1 respectively and their respective mean basal area is 17.45, 1.48 and 26.58 m2ha-1. The growing stock density is 13.59, 57.94 and 15.49 m3 for linear, scattered and block structures respectively and standing biomass density values are 99.14±216.48 Mg ha-1, 5.73±7.37 Mg ha-1 and 105.16±125.43 Mg ha-1 for the same. The carbon stocks in linear structure is 47.09±102.8 Mg ha-1; scattered structure 2.72±3.50 Mg ha-1 and block structure 49.95±59.58 Mg ha-1. The girth class distribution shows that in linear, scattered and block structure >150 cm GBH class contributes higher values of growing stock, standing biomass and carbon stocks.Keywords

Conservation of biodiversity, a growing concern today, faces multiple challenges. Although ecosystem approach has been recommended as a solution, conservation of threatened species is difficult as they are spread across the ecosystems and are often restricted to microhabitats. In this article, the importance of taxonomy, herbarium and field germplasm bank in conservation of threatened species is discussed. It is concluded that individually each of these measures has important role to play in conservation. They also complement each other in reversing the threat perspective of the species.Keywords
