This study aims to compare the floristic diversity between a buffer zone community forest and a community forest in the Barandabhar Corridor of Chitwan, Nepal. Floristic diversity is an essential aspect of forest ecosystems as it reflects the richness and composition of plant species. The study utilized systematic sampling methods to assess the species composition, abundance, and diversity in both forests. A total of [number] plots were established in each forest, and data on tree, shrub, and herbaceous species were collected. The results showed significant differences in species richness, evenness, and diversity between the buffer zone community forest and the community forest in the Barandabhar Corridor. The buffer zone community forest exhibited higher species richness and diversity compared to the community forest. Additionally, certain indicator species were found to be unique to each forest, highlighting the importance of both forests in terms of conserving specific plant species. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the floristic diversity of these forests and emphasize the need for appropriate management strategies to ensure the conservation and sustainable use of plant resources in the Barandabhar Corridor, Chitwan, Nepal.

This study examines the effect of pre-harvest treatments and storage conditions on apple quality in India. The quality of apples is a crucial factor in ensuring consumer satisfaction and market competitiveness. Pre-harvest treatments, including pruning and foliar sprays, can influence attributes such as color, texture, and nutritional content. Additionally, storage conditions play a significant role in maintaining apple quality during post-harvest storage. This research aims to investigate the impact of pre-harvest treatments and different storage conditions, including controlled atmosphere storage, conventional cold storage, and ambient storage, on apple quality in India. The findings of this study will contribute to improving post-harvest practices, enhancing the market value of Indian apple varieties, and ensuring consumer satisfaction.
