The paper presents floristic and ecological study of three diverse habitats towards the north of Srinagar. 162 species of flowering plants are enumerated. Data concerning frequency and phenological pattern of the species found in these habitats reveal that short lived early flowering species are predominant in exposed habitats with loose soil structure and perennial forms in shady compact-soil habitats. Shading produces a lag in the phenological pattern of species. Late flowering species are mostly restricted under shaded tree canopy.

Abstract


The paper presents floristic and ecological study of three diverse habitats towards the north of Srinagar. 162 species of flowering plants are enumerated. Data concerning frequency and phenological pattern of the species found in these habitats reveal that short lived early flowering species are predominant in exposed habitats with loose soil structure and perennial forms in shady compact-soil habitats. Shading produces a lag in the phenological pattern of species. Late flowering species are mostly restricted under shaded tree canopy.
