1. Introduction A carbon sink is a carbon pool from which more carbon flows in than out [1-3]. Forests can act as sink through the process of tree growth and resultant biological carbon sequestration. Activities like afforestation, reforestation (AR), sustainable forest management (SFM), and Conservation and Enhancement of forests acts as carbon sinks. Carbon source […]
1. Introduction Carbon is the term used for the C stored in terrestrial ecosystems, as living or dead plant biomass (aboveground and belowground) and in the soil. C=(0.50)*biomass. This means about 50% of plant biomass consists of Carbon [1-4]. To convert carbon in to CO2, the tones of carbon are multiplied by the ratio of
INTRODUCTION:- Phytoplankton are photosynthetic floating organisms in aquatic environments both freshwater and seawater. Plankton algae are microscopic suspended plants that live at the mercy of the water movements .[1] Their photosynthetic activities remove carbon dioxide from the environment and release oxygen, thus they are responsible for mitigating some of the effects of increased carbon dioxide

1 Introduction Medicinal plants constitute a fundamental component of primary healthcare for millions of people worldwide, particularly in regions where biomedical services are limited or culturally less preferred [1, 2]. According to the World Health Organization, up to 80% of the population in developing countries relies on plant-based traditional medicine for basic healthcare needs [1].
Medicinal plants represent a rich reservoir of bioactive compounds that play a vital role in traditional healthcare systems and modern drug discovery. Members of the family Acanthaceae are widely recognized for their therapeutic applications, largely attributed to their diverse secondary metabolites, including alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, terpenoids, glycosides, and steroids [1,2]. Barleria prionitis L. and B.
INTRODUCTION “Nanos”—”dwarf” in Greek—is the origin of the prefix “nano” in nanotechnology. According to Hulkoti, a nanometer is any man-made substance with a size or dimension smaller than one billionth of a millimeter (10−9 m). Advancements in nanotechnology, such as the creation, application, and utilization of nanomaterials in biological research, have resulted from the collaboration
INTRODUCTION Fruits and vegetables are vital components of the human diet, and eating them has been associated with a number of nutritional and health benefits, including a decreased risk of specific chronic degenerative diseases [1]. Phytochemicals are physiologically active compounds that promote health by preventing degenerative diseases such as cancer, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and
Doxorubicin, an anthracycline glycoside antibiotic with broad-spectrum of activity against various human solid tumors and hematological malignancies [7], but limited clinical usefulness due to its diverse toxicities, including cardiac, hepatic, hematological, and testicular toxicity [58]. The toxic, short-lived metabolite, semiquinone form of doxorubicin, triggers the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through cascades of events.
1.Introduction Plants are extensively used as home remedies and play a significant role in traditional treatments. The WHO supports the use of traditional medicine, and it has been proven to be efficacious and safe. Plants often create these compounds to defend themselves, but new studies showthey can shield people from illness[1]. Understanding these chemical components
Introduction Blackgram (Vigna mungo L.), commonly referred to as mashkalai in Bangladesh, is a major pulse crop cultivated extensively throughout South and Southeast Asia. It is an annual, herbaceous legume highly valued for its short growth duration, soil-enriching characteristics, and rich nutritional profile, making it a significant part of smallholder farming systems. Blackgram is primarily
