This book Resources Dynamics & Eco-chemistry" has primarily written keeping in view the needs and interest of researcher of environmental science particularly those working in Kumuan Himalyan region and more or less similar areas of Indian Himalayan region. It has broadly divided into eleven chapters concerning to the articles published in reputed International Journals, case studies and findings of this regions. This book will help to the researchers and line agencies for extension work and plan formulation as well.

Dr. B.K. Joshi obtained Master of Science Degree in Chemistry and Master of Arts in Sociology and Economics and Doctorate degree in Chemistry from Kumaun University, Nainital. He has more than thirteen years experience in the field of watershed management with special reference to Hydro metrology and soil erosion. He authored more than 35 research papers in International Journals of repute, concerning to environmental aspects and chemistry as well. Since 1993-2006 he had worked as Research Scientist in an internationally funded project at G B Pant Institute of Himalayan Environment Development, Kosi Katarmal, Almora-India. In 2007 he Joined Department of Chemistry, Kumaon University, SSJ Campus Almora as Lecturer (Visiting Faculty). He has attended many workshops and conferences in India and abroad as well.

Dr. R.C. Prasad obtained M.Sc. (Math) and M.Lib. Sc. from Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi and Doctorate degree in Library & Information Science from T.M. Bhagalpur University, Bhagalpur. He authored a number of research papers, articles and books of multi disciplinary nature. He is famous for developing the software package PALMS (Prasad Automated Library Management Systems). He has experiences of serving more than 22 years at various scientific positions in reputed organizations (National Remote Sensing Agency and G.B. Pant Institute of Himalayan Environment and Development).

The regular deterioration of natural resources in the Kumaon Himalayan region is a severe problem for human resource development. There has been a long felt need by different researcher, scientist, development actors and line agencies to evaluate these natural resources for innovating to new scientific models. Thus this book may provide a depth of knowledge to the workers, which will be involved in development of these resources.

The book "Resources Dynamics & Eco-chemistry" deals with various experiences observed on the aforesaid aspects particularly in ecology and chemistry of different natural resources in the region. This volume is based on the contribution of authors' findings, published work in reputed Journals, reports and proceedings. I am sure; it will prove very useful to the researcher, scientist, engineers, line agencies, development actors for extension works.

I wish to profound to acknowledge to my colleagues and editor of this book for their appreciable contributions.
