Through coastal conservation practices, plantation campaigns provide livelihood support to local communities; and hence the communities with NGOs and Government departments provided local support in plantation and protection of mangroves saplings. On the brighter side, in rece...

Pakistan Forest Institute, Peshawar introduced Paulownia species in 1989 and six species were evaluated in multi-location trials. The studies for optimal planting stock and propagation methods for Paulownia indicated that the root stumps grew substantially taller, having straight stems and symmetrical crowns. Highest survival was observed for Paulownia fortunei, Pa...

A trial comprising four Paulownia species was conducted at the Pakistan Forest Institute, Peshawar, to asses the genetic variability based on growth parameters. These parameters such as tree height, diameter at breast height (DBH) and survival were assessed after one and two years of plantation. The results showed highly significant differences in the tested traits among the four species. P...

...water harvesting and dry afforestation techniques were compared with conventional method of planting (simple pit planting) of three species viz. Pistacia khinjak, Elaeagnus angustifolium and Atriplex spp. at Mianghundi Quetta. The above techniques were also compared at Karak valley on Atriplex canisence, A. lentiformus, Ailanthus sp. and Eucalyptus camaldulensis. Data on survival of all species and height of Atriplex canisence was recorded and analyzed.

Pakistan is predominantly a dry country, where 51.5% of the area is arid and 36.9% is semi-arid. The two-thirds of the livelihood of Pakistan is growing rapidly over a population of 184 million people, who directly depend on goods and services provided by dryland natural resources, especially natural forests.

Significant shifts in land use land cover in Lahore includes a reduction of 31 percent in agricultural land, a rapid surge of 28 percent built-up area and urbanization, minor changes in water bodies, substantial forest growth, and slight declines in barren land. These transformations hold profound implications for urban planning, agricultural practices, and environmental conservation. The growth in forest cover ...
