摘要:In the Himalaya diversity of plant species is very rich in length and breadth
of its spatial extent. Study area forms a part of the Central Himalaya where altitude is
varying in between 1940m to 2615m. Changing slope aspect and altitude (microclimate)
have a close bearing on the distribution of species. Distribution of plant species
was identified with the help of quick bird data with detailed goundtruth verification.
Whereas, habitat characteristics i.e. altitude and slope aspect are identified using Survey
of India topographical map. Finally, the analysis and interpretation part is carried out with
the help of GIS software. Study reflects that Cupressus torulusa is found above 2190m
concentrating in the southern and south eastern slope aspect areas only. However,
presence of Quercus Leucotricophora is found everywhere without having any control of
altitude and slope aspect. Earlier workers reported that picea smithian (Spruce) growth is
limited from 2400m to 3600m. In the Himalayan region but in the study area we found its
natural growth in the height of 2005m.
