Abstract

The phytosociological analysis of woody species of the mine affected areas of northwestern Himalayas at two sites, supporting three tree species, Cedrus deodara, Pinus roxburghii and Quercus leucotrichophora, indicated that the total basal cover varied from 925.03 to 4149.40 cm² per 100m², and density from 0.5 to 1.8 trees per 100m². The distribution pattern was random for most of the species.
