| Abstract | In the eastern United States, there is interest among forest landowners in American ginseng husbandry, and particularly in cultivating this plant on forestlands using a wild-simulated forest farming approach. This study documented the flora and soil conditions associated with wild and wild-simulated ginseng populations throughout Pennsylvania (PA) to develop floristic “indicators” that can be used to identify supportive growing sites on forestlands. A total of 243 plant species were documented associates of ginseng across PA: 32 over-story trees, 37 shrubs and understory trees, 15 vines, 143 herbs, and 16 ferns. Statistical analysis revealed a largely shared floristic assemblage throughout the state although some associates did differ according to region and physiographic province. Previous studies have suggested that a soil calcium content, especially soils having at least 3,360 kg ha−1 (3,000 lbs ac), appear to be particularly conducive to wild and wild-simulated ginseng occurrence and/or vigor, and indicator species analysis in this study revealed that three of the top plant associates that can be used for determining sites that meet this calcium threshold in PA are white ash, Jack-in-the-pulpit, and rattlesnake fern. These results suggest that successful adoption of wild-simulated ginseng forest farming is likely to be improved in forested areas where these species are found collectively as a dominant component of local plant assemblages. |

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.
