Growth Analysis of Lannea kerstingii (Anacardiaceae) for Sustainable Forest Management in Northeast Nigeria | Chapter 3 | Current Research on Geography, Earth Science and Environment Vol. 3

 

Lannea kerstingii (anacardiaceae) is found mainly in the guinea and sudan savannahs and is useful as an agroforestry species and in meeting health benefits. The objective of this study is to close existing gaps in data availability for the purpose of formulating forest policy and planning in the sub-region of the study area. Twenty trees were sampled from fifteen quadrats each measuring 100m*100m and using different approaches, were measured for diameter at breast height, crown area, crown ratio, height and volume. Statistical analysis of the data generated was carried out using the coefficient of determination(r) and pearson’s correlation (r2). There were strong positive correlations with basal area and volume, while weaker associations with crown ratio and crown area were observed. Biomass assessment provides relevant data which helps in biodiversity conservation, carbon sequestration, climate change mitigation, climate budgeting and financing, culminating in developing an appropriate framework for forest policy formulation, planning and development.

Investigation on Taxonomical Exploration of Arboreal Members of the Family Anacardiaceae in Poonch District, Jammu and Kashmir, India| Chapter 10 | Current Overview on Science and Technology Research Vol. 6

 The purpose concerning this chapter search out investigate the current occurrence in addition to taxonomical studies of the arboreal appendages of the Anacardiaceae family. Within Jammu and Kashmir domain, Jammu province has a generous floristic diversity afterwards Kashmir. Over the course of the previous 30 age, numerous taxonomic studies handling the floristic diversity of this extent have been completed activity. The Pir-Panchal region of Jammu and Kashmir, that includes the Poonch district, has a unique landscape and a range of hotnesses. This area has happened able to continue a high level of biodiversity despite these notable changes. There are few plant groupings that have evaded analysts' notice, and the Anacardiaceae family is individual of those groups.  The district has been following the occurrence of these plant variety with different ethnobotanical purposes for several decades, in both substitute-tropical and sober zones. There are eight species in five type that make up this angiospermic arborescent flora group, which is establish at elevations between 988 and 3004 m. There are individual shrub and seven saplings, one evergreen and seven temporary species, in addition to two native and six exotic variety. Pistacia and Rhus, two of the plant genera, written two and three species, respectively, while Cotinus, Lannea, and Mangifera each written one class.

Effect of Sumac on DNA: An Advanced Study | Chapter 14 | Recent Progress in Microbiology and Biotechnology Vol. 4

 For a long period of time, R. By grinding dried fruits with salt, coriaria has been used as a spice and has also been commonly used in herbal medicine as a medicinal herb because of its athero-protective role and its ability to treat eye diseases, wounds, intestinal disorders, ringworms and skin disorders. Furthermore, R. Coriaria has recently been shown to have hepatoprotective, anti-ischemic, antimicrobial, anti-tumor, hypoglycemic, and hyperlipidemic impact. This plant has recorded volatile compounds, flavonoids, tannins, and xanthones. Because of its basic set and impressive biological operations, R. Coriaria has been used in some parts of the world, particularly in Iran, both as food and medicine. There is potent antimigratory activity in tannin derived from Sumac. Sumac contains tannin, a material used in the tanning of vegetables. The effect of TANNIN (plant polyphenolic compound) on spinach DNA extract has been investigated. Tannin is extracted using acetone extraction, where ethanol precipitation extracts DNA. By using different concentrations (10 to 30 percent) of tannin, the effect of tannin on DNA was studied. Over incubation time, the optical density (O.D.) values of DNA decreased, suggesting a decrease in density following the addition of tannin that can be protective by restoring DNA or preventing damage to DNA.
