摘要

Shifting cultivation, also known as slash-and-burn cultivation, is widespread in the northeastern region of India and causes ecological loss to the forests and environment. It is locally called as 'jhum' and is practised by indigenous tribes during dry months of February to March every year. In India, 55% of the total forest cover is prone to fires annually1 and major contribution comes from shifting cultivation. Recurrent forest fires result in loss of forest cover, erosion of topsoil, desertification and decline in forest productivity2. Studies reveal that tropical biomass burning is a significant source of organic carbon to the atmosphere3'4, producing large amounts of trace gases and aerosol particles, which play a pivotal role in tro-posphericchemistry and climate5. Aerosols containing black carbon are emitted primarily in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world6, accounting for the release of almost 100 million tons of smoke aerosols into the atmosphere as a result of biomass burning7. These sub-micron smoke aerosols play a major role in radiation balance of the earth-atmospheric system8, by reflecting a portion of the incoming solar radiation back to space, thereby reducing the amount of sunlight reaching the earth's surface9'1 .In addition, aerosols from burning serve as cloud-condensation nuclei and alter the properties of the boundary-layer clouds11. Due to forest fires, there is widespread concern about the loss of biodiversity, spread of human and plant diseases through colonization, increase in concentration of greenhouse gases, changes on the earth's radiative energy budget, effects on atmospheric chemistry and increase in surface albedo and water run-off.
