Elevational gradient, slope, and aspect offer a unique opportunity to explore the response of
plant species under changing environmental conditions. The present study aimed to analyze …

Compression of life zones along elevational gradients in mountains supports diverse
vegetation types, and therefore offers ideal setting to study plant functional traits. Functional …

In an era of climate change, quantifying forest biomass and carbon stock along elevational
gradients in mountainous areas assumes immediate relevance for carbon budgeting and …

In an era of global environmental change, the treeline shift triggered by recent climate
warming has been reported worldwide. However, it is still unknown how site-specific …

Globally, the treelines at higher elevations in mountains are reported to be advancing up-
slope in response to recent climate warming. However, little is known about the treeline …

The present study was carried out to assess the floristic diversity and community
characteristics in the forest and alpine zone of Gulmarg Wildlife Sanctuary (GWLS), Kashmir …

Several anthropogenic activities can impact forest carbon (C) dynamics. In the Himalaya,
insufficient studies are available on the intensity and impacts of multiple anthropogenic …

The impact of climate change on the mountain ecosystems globally can be better sensed
through monitoring of structural shifts in vegetation vis-à-vis livelihoods of mountain …

The present study attempts to comprehensively study the floristic elements of Gulmarg
Wildlife Sanctuary (GWLS), Kashmir Himalaya. During the present study 364 species of …

Treeline ecotones, the transition zone between the upper closed forest limit (timberline) and
treeless alpine vegetation, are the most conspicuous features of mountain ecosystems …
