Because of southwest - northeast orientation of Aravalli hill in Rajasthan, aspect effects may be an important factor in forest growth and composition. To study the effect of aspect on tree and shrub diversity and consequent effect on soil carbon storage a study was carried out in Borawad Forest block in Pali Forest Division, Rajasthan. Twenty five plots of 0.1 ha area were laid at 200 m interval at both east-west (longitude) and north-south (latitude) directions. Based on the slope facing in a particular direction, these plots were categorized into north-east (NE), south-east (SE), south-west (SW) and North-west (NW). The study indicate that the aspect affected the distribution patterns of incoming solar radiation and water balances, resulting in changes in vegetation pattern. Though this forest represents Anogeisus pendula type of forest, but there were wide variation the species dominance in different aspects that is preferred by different species. Southeast (SE) aspect were more suitable for tree diversity whereas shrub diversity and their population were highest on southwest aspect indicating that shrubs species prefers relatively xeric environment. Soil carbon stock was highest on southeast followed by southwest aspects showing strong relation with tree and shrub diversity.Keywords

Madhuca indica J.F. Gmel. (mahua) tree is also known as tree of poor because it fulfills many requirements of poor people of rural landscape. It is also known as reward of nature to poor/tribal communities because the survival of tribal communities still depends on different non-timber forest products (NTFP) obtained from Mahua. It is a multipurpose tree of traditional agroforestry systems of Bundelkhand. It has been one of the major sources of food for poor communities living in rural areas.The Mahua tree produce a variety of NTFP namely flower, seed, seed oil, seed cake, leaves, stem bark etc. The present study was carried out to explore multiple uses of mahua products and its role in rural life of the poor communities of the Mawai Bujurg, Banda Uttar Pradesh. We conducted survey of Mawai Bujurg and collected information related to different products of mahua other than wood. We recorded that the dried flowers are used in preparation of mahuasharvat a local drink for some special occasion. The dried flowers also used after boiling with sattu in rheumatism, to get relieve from the pain; whereas some people also prepare “Mahudi” a local vine by fermenting the dried flowers.The green leaves are also used during worship on festivals and marriage ceremony. The bark is a rich source of protein, therefore, the dried bark is boiled with tea and consumed. Other than providing protein the bark is also cures some diseases viz., diarrhea, tonsillitis, leprosy etc. Seeds are also eaten and edible seed oil called Butter or Ghee and used for cooking purposes.Keywords
