This review deals with the forest vegetation of the Himalaya with emphasis on:
paleoecological, phytogeographical, and phytosociological aspects of vegetation; structural …

The forests of the central Himalayan region are characterized by the dominance of some
populous and conspicuous tree species across altitudes that are crucial for ecosystem …

Oak (Quercus spp.) forests represent the climax evergreen vegetation between 1000–3600
m in the Central Himalaya. Shrub layer is well developed in these forests and …

This paper deals with plant biomass and net primary productivity of a series of forests
located along an altitudinal gradient (300–2200 m) in the Central Himalaya. The climate in …

Leaf dynamics, nutrient (N, P, K, Ca, and Na) changes, and retranslocation from the leaves
of 13 species were investigated in four representative forest communities of the Central …

Abstract Background Reducing carbon Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation
(REDD+) is of central importance to combat climate change. Foremost among the …

The phenology of tree components of natural forests occurring between 350 and 2150 m in
Kumaun Himalaya is descibed. All forests had more evergreen than deciduous taxa. The …

This study was carried out across eighteen forest stands dominated by Pinus roxburghii and
Quercus leucotrichophora forests to understand vegetation patterns and physico-chemical …

The land-use data set of Richards and Flint described in Chapter 2 was used to derive a set
of estimates of the total carbon content of live vegetation in 13 South and Southeast Asia …

Possible adverse consequences of climatic changes resulting from increasing levels of
atmospheric CO2 (Kellogg, 1982) have drawn attention to the inventory and dynamics of …
