Distribution pattern of trees along an elevation gradient of Eastern Himalaya, India
Distribution pattern of trees along an elevation gradient of Eastern Himalaya, India
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 environmental factors for the observed pattern. We followed the quadrat sampling method for this study at 23 different locations along a 300e4700 m elevation gradient in Sikkim.
