Abstract

The forests of Nepal are experiencing new forest management practices in the recent scenario. Silvicultural treatments such as thinning have been practiced over the years; however, proper thinning according to the thinning guidelines has recently been introduced to most of the community forests in Nepal. Thus, this research was carried out to assess and compare the growing stock and regeneration status in thinned and un-thinned stands of three different community forests in Sindhupalchowk, Nepal. Moreover, the species richness was also evaluated. Total 30 circular sample plots having an area of 100m2 were established in each of the community forests to perform forest resource inventory. Statistical tests such as independent samples t-test and Mann-Whitney U test were applied for analysis and comparison of growing stock and regeneration status between thinned and un-thinned stands.
