Background Tropical forests play a crucial role as source and sink in global carbon cycle.
Development and other anthropogenic activities have led to degradation of forest land, and …

Tropical forests are considered for greater species diversity and ensure climate change
mitigation through carbon (C) sink which maintains terrestrial C storage in the world. Tree …

In tropical and sub-tropical regions, biomass carbon (C) losses through forest degradation
are recognized as central to global terrestrial carbon cycles. Accurate estimation of forest …

In the modern era, rapid anthropogenic activities in the vicinity of the Himalayas disturb the
