Fuelwood is the only important source of energy in the mountainous region of the Garhwal Himalaya, India. Since the commercial
source of energy is generally beyond the reach of ordinary people due to their poor socio-economic conditions and due to limited
supply and lack of communication facilities for transport of LPG, the villages of the inner region of the Garhwal Himalaya
depend on their fuel requirement from the forest. In the present study, two villages of the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve in
Uttarakhand part of the Indian Himalaya i.e. Lata and Dunagiri located at 2,415 and 3,600 m altitudes, respectively, were
selected for the study of socio-economic profile and vegetation and for estimation of per capita fuelwood consumption and
the degree of disturbance. The study was conducted from 2002–2005. The population of these villages is migratory and belongs
to the Bhotiya community, a scheduled tribe consisting of two subgroups known as Tolcha and Marchha. They grow traditional crops as well as cash crops. Important tree species used for fuelwood include Cedrus deodara, Pinus wallichiana, Cupressus torulosa, Taxus wallichiana, Acer indicum, Quercus dilatata and Viburnum cotinifolium. Maximum density among trees was shown by Pinus wallichiana (169.6 trees ha−1) in village Lata and by Cedrus deodara (89.6 trees ha−1) in village Dunagiri. The average per capita consumption of fuelwood in villages Lata and Dunagiri was 4.03 and 4.77 kg capita−1 day−1. Maximum number of trees (29 and 31% lopping for Lata and Dunagiri, respectively) belonged to disturbance class 1 (1–20%
lopping) followed by the disturbance class 2 (20–40% lopping). Due to location of these villages in the buffer zone of the
biosphere reserve, the fuelwood consumption may cause an adverse impact on the ecological status of this reserve, which urgently
requires employing strategies for the conservation and management of this biosphere in terms of fuelwood sustainability e.g.
regulation of livestock stock and grazing, using alternative sources of fuels, plantation of multipurpose trees and adoption
of ecotourism. 相似文献
