Aim The study explores fern species richness patterns along a central Himalayan
elevational gradient (100–4800 m asl) and evaluates factors influencing the spatial increase …

Aim To explore species richness patterns in liverworts and mosses along a central
Himalayan altitudinal gradient in Nepal (100–5500 m asl) and to compare these patterns …

We compare different null models for species richness patterns in the Nepalese Himalayas,
the largest altitudinal gradient in the world. Species richness is estimated by interpolation of …

Aim To explore the variation in species richness along a subtropical elevation gradient, and
evaluate how climatic variables explain the richness of the different life forms such as trees …

We examined the patterns of tree species richness, density and basal area in the Eastern
Himalayan elevation gradient, and evaluated the roles of geometric constraints and …

Aim Elevational gradients offer an outstanding opportunity to assess factors determining
patterns of species richness, but along single transects potential explanatory factors often …

Aim Species richness and endemic richness vary along elevation gradients, but not
necessarily in the same way. This study tests if the maxima in gamma diversity for flowering …

In spite of many theoretical explanations, the plant richness pattern along the mountain
elevation gradient is still debatable. Here we considered East district of Sikkim state in the …

Abstract Aim In eastern Nepal, forests occupy an elevation gradient of 4000 m with
bioclimatic zones from near tropical to alpine. Understorey plants and trees were censused …

We compared woody plant species distributions across nested spatial scales (local scale to
entire Western Himalaya) and explored landscape scale patterns in detail to obtain …
