A recent study by researchers at Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and Environment (ATREE), in collaboration with the Maharashtra Forest Department, shows that ecological restoration through planting native grasses can increase soil organic carbon by up to 50% in three years. The researchers employed an innovative space-for-time substitution approach for the study.
A recent study led by Manvi Sharma, Assistant Professor, Ashoka University, Sonipat, and researchers from Nature Conservation Foundation (NCF), Bangalore, investigates the relationship between livestock grazing and the long-term population dynamics of wild herbivores. The findings highlight the need for conservation measures considering livestock influence.
