*BUT FIRST, WON'T YOU PLEASE HELP? /Carbon Mapping and Allometric 
Equations for Selected Tree Species./***Yogendra Kumar Karna writes, "I 
am doing my MSc research in _Carbon mapping_ for tropical forests in 
Chitwan districts of Nepal. So I am desperately searching for 
_allometric equations_ of some of the major forest tree species of 
Nepal. These tree species are as following: Asna/Saj - /Terminalia 
tomentosa, /Bhalayo - /Semecarpus anacardium, /Botdhangeo - 
/Lagerstroemia parviflora, /Sal - /Shorea robusta, /Chilaun/e - Schima 
wallichii, /and Sindure - /Mallotus philippensis. /If someone will 
provide me these equations, I would be very grateful to them. Thanking 
you". If you can assist, please contact Yongendra at 
yogendra.karna at yahoo.com <mailto:yogendra.karna at yahoo.com>. **

*MOUNTAIN FOREST GROWTH MODELS*. In September, Shiva Pandey wrote, /"I 
am PhD student at USQ, Australia. For my PhD research I am requesting 
you some information about growth model of mountain forests (stand 
level) to predict forest stock and time span to reach at the equilibrium 
stage in natural growth. Please forward me information about mountain 
tropical, sub tropical, lower temperate mix vegetation types that should 
fit to Nepal and north Indian forests. Please kindly inform me if you 
have specific literatures, equations etc." /Here are some sites that may 
be of interest. If you know of others, please contact Shiva at
