Remedial Prospective of Hippophae rhamnoides Linn. (Sea Buckthorn)

Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) constitutes thorny nitrogen fixing deciduous shrub. Sea buckthorn(SBT) is primarily valued for its very rich vitamins A, B1 , B 12 , C, E, K, and P; flavonoids, lycopene, carotenoids, and phytosterols. and therapeutically important since it is rich with potent antioxidants. Scientifically evaluated pharmacological actions of SBT are like inflammation inhibited by reduced permeability, loss of follicular aggregation of lymphocytes from the inflamed synovium and suppress lymphocyte proliferation.

Greening of the Earth and its drivers

Global environmental change is rapidly altering the dynamics of terrestrial vegetation with consequences for the functioning of the Earth system and provision of ecosystem services 1,2 . Yet how global vegetation is responding to the changing environment is not well established. Here we use 3 long-term satellite leaf area index (LAI) records and 10 global ecosystem models to investigate four key drivers of LAI trends during 1982-2009.
