This first volume on Himalayan forests discusses the synthesis of Himalayan forest ecosystems. Essential for forest researchers, ecosystem ecologists, and graduate students, this volume serves as the definitive reference for understanding Himalayan forest

Dr. S. P. Singh is easily among the top Himalayan ecologists. His research systems range from a leaf blade to inherently fragile and disaster-prone Himalayan landscapes and regions. He along with his associates have studied almost all dimensions of the Himalayan forest ecosystems, including biomass and productivity, nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration, phenology, tree water relations, forest fire adaptation, and ecosystem services. He is widely known for his research on pine and oak forest ecosystem. Coordinating a team of researchers, he has recently added critical knowledge on the Himalayan treelines. He developed the concept of incorporating Himalayan ecosystem services in national accounting at the country level. National academies, such as Indian National Science Academy (INSA), have acknowledged Prof. Singh's work by recognizing him their Fellow. He has published 250 research articles, supervised 35 doctoral students, and coauthored a major book on the ecology of Himalayan forests way back in 1992. He held several major positions, such as Vice Chancellor of Garhwal University, and advisor, Planning Commission. Dr. Rajesh Thadani works on regeneration ecology, impacts of chronic disturbance, and ecosystem services emanating from Himalayan forests. He has an MF and Ph.D. in Forest ecology and physiology from the Yale School of the environment and is particularly interested in the oak-pine forests of the central Himalayas. He is the Founder Executive Director, and currently a Senior Fellow at the Centre for Ecology Development and Research (CEDAR), a research and advocacy organization, and Chair of Himmotthan and North East Initiative Development Agency (NEIDA), which together promote sustainable rural livelihoods in over 2,000 villages across the Indian Himalayas from Ladakh in the west to Arunachal in the east. He helped establish and is Chair of Kumaon Grameen Udyog, a Himalayan social enterprise, and is the President of Jai Hind College in Mumbai.
