Abstract:

Landslides are one of the most damaging geological hazards in mountainous regions such as the Himalayas. The Himalayan region is, tectonically, the most active region in the world that is highly vulnerable to landslides and associated hazards. Landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM) is a useful tool for understanding the probability of the spatial distribution of future landslide regions. In this research, the landslide inventory datasets were collected during the field study of the Kullu valley in July 2018, and 149 landslide locations were collected as global positioning system (GPS) points. The present study evaluates the LSM using three different spatial resolution of the digital elevation model (DEM) derived from three different sources. The data-driven traditional frequency ratio (FR) model was used for this study. The FR model was used for this research to assess the impact of the different spatial resolution of DEMs on the LSM. DEM data was derived from Advanced Land Observing Satellite-1 (ALOS) Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (PALSAR) ALOS-PALSAR for 12.5 m, the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) Global for 30 m, and the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) for 90 m. As an input, we used eight landslide conditioning factors based on the study area and topographic features of the Kullu valley in the Himalayas. The ASTER-Global 30m DEM showed higher accuracy of 0.910 compared to 0.839 for 12.5 m and 0.824 for 90 m DEM resolution. This study shows that that 30 m resolution is better suited for LSM for the Kullu valley region in the Himalayas. The LSM can be used for mitigation and future planning for spatial planners and developmental authorities in the region.

Abstract:

A field experiment was conducted at Horticultural Research Station, Seobag (Kullu) from 2004 to 2010. The phenology of ten apple cultivars was observed on every second day on three plants of each cultivar with three replications from bud-bust, green-tip, pink-bud, full-bloom to physiological maturity. GDD, HTU, PTU, HYTU and heat use efficiency was computed from the meteorological data recorded from observatory and averaged of for ten years. Tydeman, commercial and Mollice has taken lower GDD for the physiological maturity but higher for attaining petal-fall. On an average apple required 330 GDD from bud bust to petal fall with 4oC as base temperature. Cultivars completing the rest period earlier used more thermal units and giving good fruit yields as compare to those breaking their dormancy later. Thermal units explain more than 75-99 % variation in fruit yield. Higher thermal use efficiency was observed for Starking Delicious and Vance Delicious followed by Top Red and Tydeman which may be encouraged among the growers.

Abstract:

Kullu valley is famous for tourism and agricultural activities but recently it has assumed importance for studies on climatic variability. There is an increasing trend in minimum and maximum temperatures but no trend in annual rainfall. The slope of regression line for annual rainfall was negative at Bajaura and positive at Katrain but both were non significant. The coefficient of variation for annual rainfall (22 %) and for monsoon rainfall (33 %) was showing the consistence of annual and southwest monsoon rainfall but, a shifting of monsoon from its wettest months was observed. The rainfall was most variable during post monsoon season at Bajaura and in winter at Katrain. The decreasing rate in rainfall was higher during the recent period than the decadal period. Monthly, seasonal and annual average minimum temperature was showing decreasing trend at Bajaura and an increasing trend at Katrain, but, maximum temperature is increasing at both the stations. The minimum temperature was most variable during the winter season whereas the maximum temperature was during summer. Higher the altitude higher the variability in minimum temperature but lower the altitude higher the variability in maximum temperature. Both maximum and minimum temperatures were showing a higher rate of increasing during the recent period.

Abstract:

In this paper we report our results from analysing a hybrid spatial multi-criteria evaluation (SMCE) method for generating landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM). This study is the first of its kind in the Kullu valley, Himalayas. We used eight related geospatial conditioning factors from three main groups: geological, morphological and topographical factors. Our landslide inventory dataset has a total of 149 GPS points of landslide locations, collected based on a field survey in July 2018. The relationships between landslide locations and conditioning factors were determined using the GIS-based statistical methods of frequency ratio (FR), multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) and the integration method of hybrid SMCE. We compared the performance of applied methods by dividing the inventory into testing (70%) and validation (30%) datasets. The area under the curve (AUC) was used to validate the results. The integration method of hybrid SMCE gave the highest accuracy rate (0.910) compared to the other two methods, with 0.797 and 0.907 accuracy rates for the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and FR, respectively. The applied methodologies are easily transferable to other areas, and the resulting landslide susceptibility maps (LSMs) can be useful for risk mitigation and development planning purposes in the Kullu valley, Himalayas.

Abstract:

Abstract. Permafrost covers much of the Parvati valley, but mapping its distribution is difficult due to the scarcity of ground observed data sets and the region's high spatial heterogeneity. We show permafrost distribution maps for the Parvati valley from 2013 to 2021 based on the Mean Annual Air Temperature. We created maps of Mean Annual Air Temperatures (MAAT) using Landsat 8 Land Surface Temperature (LST) products in Google Earth Engine. Google Earth Engine (GEE) is a cloud-based platform that was utilised to quickly and efficiently obtain the spatial and temporal variations of permafrost distribution. Permafrost is defined as ground that maintains a temperature below zero degrees Celsius for at least two consecutive years. To justify the definition, we examined Mean Biennial Air Temperature (MBAT), Mean Triennial Air Temperature (MTAT), Mean Quadrennial Air Temperature (MQAT), Mean Quinquennial Air Temperature (MQnAT), Mean Septennial Air Temperature (MSpAT), Mean Octennial Air Temperature (MOAT), and Mean Novennial Air Temperature (MNOAT) (MNAT). Our findings demonstrate that the percentage of Permafrost distribution in the Parvati valley is about the same in all situations, accounting for 22 percent of the overall study area excluding glaciers. Our maps were divided into four categories: Continuous Permafrost Zone, Discontinuous Permafrost Zone, Sporadic Permafrost Zone, and No Permafrost Zone.

Abstract:

Weather plays a crucial role in agriculture. Precipitation, temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, drying conditions, dry and wet spells are the most important weather elements information about whom could play a significant role in farm planning and operations. Inclement weather events like drought and floods, cold and heat waves, hails, squalls, tropical storms severely affect the production. Occurrences of erratic weather are beyond human control. It is possible to adapt or mitigate their malevolent effect to some extend if the occurrence of the events is predicted well in advance and farmers are suitably advised to take ameliorative measures. Attempts were made to verify the weather forecasts received on every Tuesday and Friday from NCMRWF/IMD. The verification analysis was carried out on weekly, seasonal and annual basis using various verification techniques, viz., Ratio Score (RS), Critical Success Index (CSI), Heidke Skill Score (HSS), Hanssen and Kuipers Score (HK), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), usability analysis and correlation approach during 2000-01 to 2009-10. The analysis depicted that ratio score on yearly basis was highest (74.6) during 2005-06 followed by 2004-05 (72.9) and 2003-04 (72.7). The value of H.K. score ranged between 24 and 42. The forecast found within quite usability range for most of the parameters but improvements are still possible. The correlation analysis showed that there was high correlation between observed and predicted values over the years. Hence, the forecast was found widely applicable among different user groups.

Abstract:

Objective: The objective of the study was to enlist the ethnobotanical uses of wild plants of Solang Valley, Kullu District, Himachal Pardesh. Due to the specific geographical location of the valley, it possesses a high amount of endemic plant diversity. The plants are being used medically by local people against many ailments such as rheumatism, gastric disorders, muscular pain, asthma, dysentery, diabetes, constipation, cold, cough, fever, etc.Methods: For documentation of ethnomedicinal information, a questionnaire containing vernacular name, plant part/s used, medicinal uses, method of preparation and amount of dose taken was prepared. To gather such information, personal interviews/interactions were conducted with medicine men (vaids and hakims), local healers, village elders, tribals and shepherds.Results: Presently, 42 plant species belonging to 41 genera and 24 families are included for ethnobotanical study with respect to their scientific names, vernacular names, plant parts used, ethnomedicinal purposes, mode of preparation, and dose/amount taken. As many as 23 species are used for treating more than one ailment. By consulting the previous literature, it was found that there are 19 species which have not been reported earlier and are used by the natives for different medicinal purposes.Conclusion: The unsustainable harvesting such as uprooting of whole plant of medicinal use from the wild is resulting into a serious decline in plant populations. Therefore various cultivation techniques should be designed, and implemented especially for the highly medicinally important and endangered plant species. Grazing should be restricted in high altitudinal zones possessing high endemic plant diversity. Further, information gathered on ethnobotanical aspects of plants of medicinal use will be helpful in the selection of elite genotypes/chemotypes which could provide a base for future plantation programmes which will be helpful for sustainable development of the valley.

Abstract:

For analyzing the effect of biotic disturbances on natural regeneration of Alnus nitida Endl., various locations representing each stratum of the species were surveyed both in disturbed and undisturbed sites across the Solang Nallah- a tributary of river Beas-in the Kullu valley of the Himachal Himalayas. Various parameters considered for the assessment at each site included distribution pattern, species diversity and dominance. Maximum density of trees was recorded on disturbed site compared to the undisturbed site, whereas maximum density of saplings and seedlings was observed in the undisturbed site. The study indicated that the biotic disturbance normally checks/retards the natural regeneration of this fast growing species.

Objective: The objective of the present study was to enlist the ethnobotanical uses and chromosomal status of wild plants of Parvati Valley, Himachal Pradesh. Plants are locally used in curing ulcers, sores, insect bites, muscular and joint pains, pneumonia, jaundice, diarrhoea, piles, swellings, allergies and skin diseases.Methods: For documentation of ethnomedicinal information, a questionnaire containing the vernacular name, plant part/s used, medicinal uses, mode of preparation and amount of dose taken was prepared. Personnel interviews/interactions were conducted with medicine men (vaids and hakims), local healers, village elders, tribals and shepherds. The interviews were cross-validated to ascertain the facts about the local use of each plant species. Chromosomal status was determined through male meiosis by using standard acetocarmine technique.Results: Present paper contains information on ethnomedicinal uses, chromosome counts, male meiosis and pollen fertility on 62 medicinal herbs from Parvati Valley. Plants are used as a decoction, paste or powder in cooked form or as raw. Preparations are taken orally in pure form or as a mixture or with a little amount of salt, milk, honey or butter.Conclusion: Due to indiscriminate forest clearing, grazing and collection by traders, most of the species became rare and restricted to specific pockets or are now almost extinct. To preserve herbal diversity, grazing should be restricted in alpine and sub-alpine zones. Database on ethnic knowledge, chromosomal diversity, natural regeneration and distribution pattern should be prepared for designing future plans for sustainable development.

Abstract:

The Indian Himalayan Region is one of the richest reservoirs of biological diversity in the world and is considered as a store house of the valuable medicinal plants. In the remote areas of Indian Himalaya, the inhabitants are largely dependent on plants for curing various diseases/ailments. But, due to urbanization and modernization, the indigenous knowledge and traditional practices of medicinal plants are vanishing fast. The Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh is one of the twelve districts, and is a veritable emporium of herbal plants and consists of five blocks (Kullu, Anni, Banjar, Naggar and Nirmand). Nirmand Block (31o25’28"N and 77o34’36"E) covers an area of 77.45 km2. The medicinal plants wealth of Nirmand valley has not been explored so far. Therefore, an attempt has been made to; (i) assess the medicinal plants diversity; (ii) document indigenous uses and practices; (iii) analyze for nativity and endemism; and (iv) suggest strategy for the conservation and management of the species. The present study recorded first hand information on 41 species of medicinal plants belonging to 39 genera and 29 families from the Nirmand Block. The recorded species represent trees (06 spp.), shrubs (06 spp.) and herbs (29 spp.). Different parts of these species, such as whole plants, roots, leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, stems, barks, etc. were used by the inhabitants for curing various diseases. Twenty seven (27) species were natives and 14 species non-natives to the Himalayan region. Due to changing environmental conditions and habitat degradation, the populations of many species are depleting fast. Therefore, studies on habitat ecology, development of conventional and in-vitro propagation protocols and introduction in cultivation and natural habitats are suggested.

Abstract:

Hydropower is considered as renewable, cheap and pollution free source of energy in comparison to conventional source of energy. The major river system and topographical variation in Indian Himalayan Region(IHR) offer huge hydroelectric potential because of available net head and water discharge. Efforts are being made for sustainable harnessing of hydroelectric potential of IHR to meet the gap between demand and supply of electricity. Most of these hydropower sites are located in remote hilly terrain of IHR with limited infrastructure like access road, market, hospital etc. For timely execution of hydro power projects(HPPs), infrastructure development is required by project proponent at a faster pace. Like any other developmental projects, establishing of HPPs are also associated with some pros and cons however, the benefits of hydro-projects in terms of infrastructure facility such as road, bridge for proper connectivity, job prospects in construction works, market, civic facilities, source of cheap and clean electricity play a pivotal role in socio-economic development of particular region and nation as well.Present study has been conducted for Parbati Hydroelectric Project Stage-III (520MW) constructed on river Sainj in Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh, India. All the Project components are located in Sainj valley of Kullu district, a part of Beas basin in North-western Himalaya. The objective of study is to assess and evaluate the Local area development (LAD) in Sainj valley following the start of construction of Parbati HE Project-III in the Year 2006 by NHPC Limited (a Government of India Enterprise-miniratna). The assessment of local area development is based on comparison of baseline data of Sainj area prior to start of construction of project and data available during construction phase of project followed by reviewing of Govt. policy for Local Area Development Fund (LADF) in project affected area and consultation with people from project affected gram-panchayats located in the vicinity of construction sites to know their perception about the role of Parbati hydroelectric Project Stage-III in local area development of Sainj valley. The result of study shows that there is substantial increase in developmental activities in and around the project area due to the construction of Parbati HE Project-III. Particularly, infrastructural development (road-bridge) led to improvement in communication and accessibility of villages (Manham, Banau, Sapangini,Talara) in Sainj valley, better transport facility for horticulture products of farmers in Sainj valley to nearby market located on NH-21. The prospects of job opportunities in Project construction works, ancillary activities and in petty contract works also improved. Implementation of community development Schemes of NHPC led to availability of additional medical facilities, educational facility in Govt. Schools and development of socio-cultural aspects (Crematorium, melaground, toilets,watersupply etc) in Sainj valley are attributed to the construction of Parbati HEP-III. During construction phase of the project, in compliance to Govt. policy for LADF @ 1.5% of project cost allocated for execution of developmental works resulted in source of specific fund for development opportunity in Project affected area(PAA) in the valley and nearby areas. Out of total LADF for PAA, 60% was shared equally among three project affected gram-panchayats and remaining 40% among 04 gram-panchayats for taking-up developmental works by resolution of Gram-Shaba and local area development Committee(LADC). Also, during operational phase of Project, the provision of LADF @ 1% share of free power and revenue equivalent to 12% share of free power to State Govt. of Himachal Pradesh from Parbati HEP-III on annual basis through-out the life span of project are continuous source of financial gain from Parbati HEP-III which will act as a stimulus for development.

Abstract:

Field experiments were conducted on gravel sandy soil of research farm of Horticultural Research Station, Seobag in Kullu valley with ten varieties of apple for three seasons (2008-2010). In the first crop season all the varieties matured within 157-188 days, while in the second and third seasons the crop matured with 159-179 and 156-187 days, respectively. The mean GDD accumulation from bud burst to fruit set was from 382 to 419° D and to maturity 2310 to 2957° D. The varieties, Mollice and Starkrimson consumed the lowest and highest GDD for attaining physiological maturity in different seasons among all varieties. But Commercial and Tydeman consumed the lowest and highest GDD for fruit setting. The photo thermal index (PTI) in all the varieties and seasons varied from 7.2 to 16.8 and 13.2 to 18.4° D/day at flowering and reproductive stages respectively.

Abstract:

The present study examines the effect of different environmental conditions on seed germination, growth and survival of the seedlings and identifies the best propagation condition for mass multiplication of Withania somnifera Dunal. The seed germination in laboratory condition was significantly (P<0.05) higher (83%) as compared to that in polyhouse (31.11%) and open beds (24.44%); however, no germination was found in wasteland. The overall performance of the species was best under polyhouse condition compared to open nursery beds. The plant height was strongly and positively correlated (P<0.01) with all the morphological traits excluding number of branches and number of primary roots, as an indicator of healthy seedlings of this species. Considering high medicinal and commercial values as well as natural availability of this species in sub-tropical region of Kullu valley, Himachal Pradesh, promotion of this species in cultivation has been suggested.

Abstract:

The land use/cover change has remained an important indicator in explaining the regional and global environmental issues and their determinants. The present study is an attempt to analyze the land use/cover change as a way of measuring visual impressions of landscape transformation in the Upper Kullu Valley of Himachal Pradesh. In the recent decades, the area has experienced considerable land use/cover changes due to urbanization, commercial agriculture and tourism activities. These developmental activities have hugely impacted the natural resources, bio-capacity and land availability of the area. The land use/cover has been analyzed with the help of LANDSAT imageries from 1991 to 2020. Supervised classification has been done on selected images by using maximum likelihood classifier (MLC). The study has been done on eight LULC classes namely, agricultural/horticultural land, built-up land, forest cover, pasture/open land, barren land, snow cover, river/water-bodies and sandy surface. The result shows decrease in snow cover and forest cover and increase in barren land, agricultural/horticultural land and built-up area during 1991-2020. The limited land resources and growing urbanisation are making these changes more complex. Therefore, continuous monitoring of these processes and subsequent changes are necessary for future planning and resource management.

Abstract:

The bee forage includes survey of forage plants, assessment of the relative merits of the component species as sources of nectar and pollen, their flowering sequence and floral calendar during seasonal cycle. Himachal Pradesh, owing to its varied agro-climate, has a great variety of bee forage sources which provide the basis for development of beekeeping industry in the state. Bee keeping with Apis cerana is a common practice among the rural communities of the Kullu valley in the state. The identification of the existing bee flora will be useful to evaluate the suitability of Katrain area for A.cerana beekeeping and particularly to find out the dearth periods that would help to combat the shortage of food either by suitable feeding or migration of bee colonies to forage rich areas. This will be helpful in the formulation of the action plans for effective management of the A. cerana bee based livelihood avenues of the mountain people.

Abstract:

The article deals with activities of a famous Russian artist and public figure Nikolai K. Roerich in the field of Oriental studies. N.K. Roerich read law at the St Petersburg University, however he also attended the lectures at the faculty of history. His genuine interest in history later revealed in numerous studies in archaeology, ethnography, folklore, general and cultural history of the Eastern counties. As a scholar, he visited Altay, Mongolia, India and Tibet, lived there and conducted his research. He was also instrumental in organizing two complex research expedition to Central Asia and Manchuria. Besides he took part in short term expeditions to Western Himalaya as part of the work of the Himalayan Research Institute. This Institute was founded by the Roerich family and was based in the Kullu valley (India). During his expeditions he collected vast material, which comprised historical sources of different art and nature. This material was subsequently researched by himself as well as by his elder son the Orientalist scholar George (Yurii) Roerich. Nikolaj Roerich developed a unique research method, which combined purely academic and artistic approach.
