Above-Ground Carbon Stock — Makwanpur Community Forests

Above-Ground Carbon Stock — Makwanpur Community Forests

Makwanpur District, Nepal Published: March 26, 2026

Worked on January 10, 2025

Objective: Estimate above-ground carbon stocks in three community forests for REDD+ baseline.

Methodology: Systematic random sampling using 0.1 ha circular plots. Applied species-specific allometric equations.

Findings: Closed forest: 187.4 tC/ha; Selectively harvested: 124.8 tC/ha; Open-access: 68.3 tC/ha.

Learnings: Management regime is the dominant driver of carbon density in community-managed landscapes.

Avian mortality along power lines in Pokhara valley, Nepal.

The primary objective of this research was to quantify bird mortality associated with power line infrastructure in the Pokhara Valley, Nepal, where such impacts have been poorly documented. The study aimed to identify species most affected by electrocution and collision, assess how mortality varies with environmental and infrastructural factors, and provide evidence‑based recommendations for mitigating avian fatalities to support conservation planning
