摘要: Himalayan broad-leaved forests are mainly dominated by oak (Quercus spp.) species. Oak species with other tree provide numerous ecosystem services and serve as lifeline for local inhabitants. Overall diversity their status in different viz., Quercus leucotrichophora (1500-2200 m), Q. floribunda (2201-2700 m) semecarpifolia (2701-3300 were studied Garhwal, Himalaya. A total of 54 (40 genera) leucotrichophora, 43 (30 23 (16 recorded. Lauraceae was the dominant family (6 8 respectively), while Ericaceae (3 species) forests.
