| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT The present investigation entitled “Studies on Woody Species Diversity in Bhaba Valley of Himachal Pradesh” was carried out in Bhaba valley of Kinnaur district in Himchal Pradesh to study the diversity and phytosociological studies of woody species. The complete study area was divided into three altitudinal zones viz., lower (1500 -2500 m), middle (2500- 3500 m) and top zone (3500-4500m). Three sites were taken from each zone and in each site three quadrates were further laid on the basis of species area curve for measuring species diversity and phytosociological parameters. A total of 73 woody species were recorded of which 31 were trees and 42 were shrubs. The maximum species 56 were recorded in lower zone with 23 tree species and 33 shrub species followed by 36 species in middle zone with 12 tree species and 24 shrub species whereas minimum species 18 were recorded in top zone with 8 tree species and 10 shrub species, respectively. In the present study, it was observed that in total there were 73 woody species belonging to 48 genera and 27 families out of which 31 were tree species and 42 shrub species characterizing moist alpine shrub vegetation in the study area. It was further observed that Pinus wallichiana and Prunus cornuta were present in the entire valley area showing wide adaptability of these two species. The present study revealed that the dominant, co-dominant and associated species were Prunus cornuta, Betula utilis and Rhododendron companulatum in site Taudor; Betula utilis, Rhododendron companulatum and Sorbus microphyla in site Nigul; Abies spectablis, Betula utilis and Acer caesium in site Goldas; Acer caesium, Berberis lycium and Abies pindrow in site Muling; Abies spectabilis, Acer caesium and Betula utilis in site Anyar; Pinus wallichiana, Picea smithiana and Corylus jacquemontii in site Homti; Picea smithiana, Corylus colurna and Pinus wallichiana in site Kangarang; Abies pindrow, Pinus wallichiana and Picea smithiana in site Kafnu; Cedrus deodara, Pinus wallichiana and Pinus roxburghii in site Bai, respectively. | en_US |
