Plant ecology in Indian Siwalik range: a systematic map and its bibliometric analysis
We systematically identified the patterns and trends in plant ecological research of the Siwaliks
Comparative soil restoration potential of exotic and native woody plantations on coal mine spoil in a dry tropical environment of India: A case study
We compared the soil restoration potential of exotic and native plant species on coal mine. Our results suggested that native species are more beneficial for soil restoration than the exotic species.
Ecological performances of exotic and native woody species on coal mine spoil in Indian dry tropical region
In this article we analysed the growth and biomass production of exotic and native woody species on Indian coal mine spoils. We observed higher survival of native species on coal mine spoil, though exotic species exhibited faster growth rates than the native species on coal mine spoil. However, biomass production was higher for native species on coal mine overburden. Overall, we showed that native species performed better than exotic species in rehabilitation of coal mine.
Shivalik, Siwalik, Shiwalik or Sivalik: Which one is an appropriate term for the foothills of Himalayas?
The present study has applied bibliometric analysis to resolve the inconsistency about the usage of these terms. Here, we have shown that the term 'Siwalik' was most dominant in the available literature.
