As one of the more inaccessible parts of the Himalayan Ranges, the cold deserts of India are resource poor regions. These could be considered as an important study area because of their extremely fragile ecosystem. The regions on the north flank of the Himalayas experience heavy snowfall and these remains virtually cut off from the rest of the country for several months in the year. Summers are short.

Abstract


As one of the more inaccessible parts of the Himalayan Ranges, the cold deserts of India are resource poor regions. These could be considered as an important study area because of their extremely fragile ecosystem. The regions on the north flank of the Himalayas experience heavy snowfall and these remains virtually cut off from the rest of the country for several months in the year. Summers are short.
