Abstract EN
Four forest sites varying in vegetation types were studied along an altitudinal range between 2200 and 2500 m.
Maximum tree, shrub, and herb species were recorded on stream bank site (22, 25, and 54, resp.).
Pteridophytes and bryophytes species richness was maximum on moist site (4 and 5, resp.).
The number of climbers was greater in moist and dry habitats (7 species each).
Parasitic species were restricted only on dry and stream bank habitats.
Restricted tree and shrub species were greater on stream bank site and dry site, respectively.
The herb and climber species were greater on moist site.
The distribution and species richness pattern in this elevational range largely depend on the altitude and climatic variables.
Along the entire range of Garhwal Himalaya, the overlapping among species regimes is broad; therefore, transitional communities having mixture of many species and zones are present.
The present study indicates that the opening canopies increase the richness of tree, shrub, herb, and climbers.
