| Abstract | Stems and crowns of young Eucalyptus globulus Labill. saplings were experimentally damaged by fire to assess the short-term effects on tree growth and selected physiological parameters (stem sap flow density, electrical resistance of stem cambium and leaf stomatal conductance). Four different treatments were considered: partial stem damage (42 % of the stem circumference girdled by the direct application of heat in the cambium zone), crown foliage damage (56 % of crown volume scorched by heating the foliage with a torch), combined stem and crown damage, and no damage (control). Saplings displayed high sensitivity to crown scorching, in terms of basal area growth. The relative growth of the basal area of crown-damaged and stem + crown-damaged trees was, respectively, 3.1 and 6.2 times lower than that of undamaged trees for the 4 months following treatment. In contrast, stem injury alone did not have any negative effect on stem growth. The results suggest that tree growth is scarcely affected by low intensity surface fire and prescribed burning that do not affect the crown. Sap flow density, cambial electrical resistance and leaf stomatal conductance were useful indicators of the loss of physiological activity caused by fire. Although in the case of partial crown damage these parameters reflected a slight compensatory effect, the response was not sufficient to balance the loss of photosynthetic area. The study only focused on the initial effects of fire-related damage, and further research is clearly needed to determine the long-term effects of such damage. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
