The present study aims to examine the quantitative relationship between juvenile wood and mature wood densities in order to look for the possibility of predicting mature wood density from that of juvenile wood and vice-versa and also to find out the suitable stratum for the comparison of juvenile wood and mature wood densities in Cedrus deodara (Roxb.) Loud. It is observed that a positive and statistically highly significant correlation exist between mean of juvenile wood and mean of mature wood density in both whole ring and first-formed early wood. Also, the mean mature wood density is highly significantly correlated separately with each of the juvenile wood rings in both whole ring and first-formed early wood except ring 1 in case of whole ring. Thus, the mature wood density can be predicted at an early age from the wood density of juvenile wood rings by taking either whole-ring or first-formed early wood.- Radial Pattern of First-formed Early Wood Tracheid Length Variation from Pith to Bark in Deodar [Cedrus deodara (Roxb.)

Radial pattern of first-formed early wood tracheid length variation from pith to bark was studied with the main objectives of determining the effect of age, distance from pith, growth rate (distance/age) and ring width on first-formed early wood tracheid length among Deodar trees. There is rapid increase in tracheid length upto 10 years, afterwards the tracheid lengths either increases slowly or remains almost constant. It is positively and significantly correlated with independent variables like age, distance from pith and growth rate. The multiple correlation coefficients of these independent variables are also statistically significant.- Avian Diversity: Environmental Health Index of Kurukshetra University

A three year study on avian diversity and environmental health index was conducted in Kurukshetra University campus. The topography, flora and bird fauna was observed during the study period. University campus embodies diverse types of habitats including forest area, crop land, orchid, garden, marsh areas, urban and rural habitat with 40 acres of land as natural forest having endemic plants and tall trees. Total 72 bird species reported from campus belong to 14 different orders and 41 families. The bird fauna observed includes, Myna, Sparrow, Crow, Robin, Drongo, Tailorbird, Babbler, Sunbird, Green Bee-eater, Wagtail, Bulbul, Munia, Chiffchaff, Baya Weaver, Woodpecker, Barbet, Dove, Green Pigeon, Parrot, Peafowl, Koel, Cuckoo, Hawk, Darter, Kingfisher, Hoopoe, Hornbill, Lapwing, Stone Curlew, Cattle Egret, Waterhen, Moorhen, Kite and Shikra etc. To conserve the rich avian fauna of the campus, specific habitats need to be protected and awareness drive signifying the importance of avian fauna should be launched.Keywords
