Effect of Household Solid Waste on Initial Growth Performance of Acacia auriculiformis and Cedrela toona in Mycorrhiza Inoculated Soil

Abdullah-Al-Mamun, M.M.; Billah, M.; Hossain, M.A. (Department of Forestry and Environmental Science University of Sri Jayewardenepura, 2015)

Solid waste disposal and management became one of the major environmental concerns in Bangladesh. Realising the problem, the present study has been undertaken with a view to find a sound and effective way of bio-degradable ...
Investigation of Sawmill Management and Technology on Waste Reduction at Selected Sawmills in Moratuwa, Sri Lanka

Caldera, H.T.S.; Amarasekera, H.S. (Department of Forestry and Environmental Science University of Sri Jayewardenepura, 2015)

The demand for sawn timber and wood-based products is rising steadily with new developments and the growing domestic consumption in Sri Lanka. Therefore, it is important to strike a balance between the increasing demand ...
A Preliminary Study on Vegetation Structure and Mangrove Diversity in Irakkandy Lagoon, Trincomalee

Krishnanantham, K.; Seneviratne, Y.B.M.C.J.; Jayamanne, S.C. (Department of Forestry and Environmental Science University of Sri Jayewardenepura, 2015)

The present study was carried out during the period from May to July 2014 to assess the vegetation pattern and to estimate biomass of the mangroves in Irakkandy Lagoon, Trincomalee. Five belt-transects of 10 m in width ...
Biocontrol Potential of Metarhizium anisopliae (Metsch.) Sorokin (Deuteromycotina: Hyphomycetes) against Ailanthus Defoliator, Eligma narcissus (Cram.)

Bai, N.S.; Sasidharan, T.O.; Remadevi, O.K. (Department of Forestry and Environmental Science University of Sri Jayewardenepura, 2015)

Eligma narcissus is recognised as a serious pest of Ailanthus in Southern India and defoliation of Ailanthus by this pest causes apparent loss of growth increment. The common control methods for this pest is mostly ...
Impact of Canopy Cover on Butterfly Abundance and Diversity in Intermediate Zone Forest of Sri Lanka

Weerakoon, B.M.B.; Bandara, A.M.R.S.; Ranawana, K.B. (Department of Forestry and Environmental Science University of Sri Jayewardenepura, 2015)

This study was designed to identify the influence of canopy cover on butterfly abundance in young secondary forest and regenerating forest at Maragamuwa area of Kumaragala forest reserve in Naula, Matale district of Sri ...
Physico-Mechanical Properties of Cement-Bonded Particle Boards of Bambusa vulgaris and Gmelina arborea Fibres

Izekor, D.N.; Erakhrumen, A.A. (Department of Forestry and Environmental Science University of Sri Jayewardenepura, 2015)

This study investigated the effect of pre-treatment and particle geometry/stratification on the physical and mechanical properties of cement-bonded particle boards (CBPBs). 6 mm thick homogeneous cement-bonded particle ...
The Perplex of Deforestation in sub-Saharan Africa

Yalew, A.W. (Department of Forestry and Environmental Science University of Sri Jayewardenepura, 2015)

Deforestation has been a complex phenomenon to study in sub-Saharan Africa. The average annual deforestation rate in the region is by far higher than the world average. What causes and drives deforestation in the region ...
Cloud Based GIS Approach for Monitoring Environmental Pollution in the Coastal Zone of Kalutara, Sri Lanka

Sirirwardane, M.S.P.M.; Samanmali, M.A.D.; Rathnayake, R.N.P. (Department of Forestry and Environmental Science University of Sri Jayewardenepura, 2015)

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can be used as a powerful tool in many aspects of handling geospatial data. By considering the modern geospatial approaches, this research is focused on monitoring environmental pollution ...
Evaluating Generic Pantropical Allometric Models for the Estimation of Above-Ground Biomass in the Teak Plantations of Southern Western Ghats, India

Sandeep, S.; Siveram, M.; Sreejesh, K.K. (Department of Forestry and Environmental Science University of Sri Jayewardenepura, 2015)

The use of suitable tree biomass allometric equations is crucial for making precise and non- destructive estimation of carbon storage and biomass energy values. The aim of this research was to evaluate the accuracy of the ...
