    Ethnobotanical studies in India with notes on Terai-Duars and Hills of Darjiling and Sikkim
    (University of North Bengal, 2007-03) Das, A. P.; Ghosh, Chandra; Sarkar, Ajita; Biswas, Rajib
    The very survivability of man is greatly associated with plants since his origin. Plants are responsible for the supply of Man's oxygen, food, medicine, fibre, shelter and what not! Also the relationship between man and environment in general has never been static and is changing continuously. But this is not the case with tribal/ aboriginal communities the world over. The life, culture and traditions of these communities have remained almost undisturbed and static for hundreds of years. They are the living archaeological museums of ancient traditions and cultural heritage of a nation.

    (University of North Bengal, 2019-03) Biswas, Kishor; Das, Abhaya Prasad
    The article reports the investigation on the impacts of alien invasive weeds on phyto-diversity of Terai-Duars belt of West Bengal. Invasive weed-invaded and non-invaded vegetation tracts, under same ecological conditions, were sampled and compared to understand their impact on the local biodiversity. Invaded area was inhabitated by a fewer number of species, poor in species diversity, with higher concentration of dominance and poor in species richness. The study suggested further research on the impact of aggressive and invasive alien weeds on Biodiversity and ecosystem of this area.
