Project Name: Simulation of C stocks in Rubber (Hevea brasilensis) Plantations of South Western China Approval Agency: Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Main work: Simulation of C stocks was carried out using CO2 fix model and best rotation age was determined for rubber plantation in SW China Status: Completed

8. Project Name: “Estimation of Biomass and Biomass Expansion Factors of the Dominant Forest Trees Species in Pakistan” Approval Agency: Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi Pakistan Main Work: Estimation of biomass for the dominant tree species sub-tropical and dry temperate forest of Pakistan was carried out. Their Biomass Expansion Factors were developed for further use in C stocking under UN-REDD program. Status: Completed

9. Project Name: Forestry Component in Integrated Watershed Development for Food Security and Sustainable Improvement of Livelihood in Barani Areas of Pakistan. Approval Agency: Austrian Development Agency, CGIAR Targeted Funding Main Work: The project was having integrated approach so for the forestry component main work was done by me. It includes afforestation of Forest trees and Grass Nurseries, People awareness program, Distribution of plants to farmers, Framers training for raising forest nurseries and forest measurements. The introduction of VET technology to control erosion in watershed areas. Status: Completed
