Delimiting invasive Myriophyllum aquaticum in Kashmir Himalaya using a molecular phylogenetic approach

Myriophyllum aquaticum Constructed Wetland Effectively Removes Nitrogen in Swine Wastewater

Removal of nitrogen (N) is a critical aspect in the functioning of constructed wetlands (CWs), and the N treatment in CWs depends largely on the presence and activity of macrophytes and microorganisms. However, the effects of plants on microorganisms responsible for N removal are poorly understood. In this study, a three-stage surface flow CW was constructed in a pilot-scale within monospecies ...

Floristic Diversity in the Kashmir Himalaya: Progress, Problems and Prospects

The Kashmir Himalaya, being nestled within north-western folds of the Himalaya, harbours a rich floristic diversity of immense scientific interest and enormous economic potential. Though scientific studies on the floristic diversity in the Kashmir Himalaya have been started about two centuries ago, yet they fall short of the requirements needed urgently in the post-Rio Summit. In fact, at the s...
