Influence of environmental factors on tree species diversity and composition in the Indian western Himalaya

Shinny Thakur et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of environmental and anthropogenic factors on species diversity and composition in forest communities along an altitudinal gradient in the western Himalaya region of India. Analysis revealed significant associations between specific environmental parameters and different forest types at various altitudes, highlighting spatial variability in tree community composition and environmental properties.

Influence of Anthropogenic Pressure on the Plant Species Richness and Diversity Along the Elevation Gradients of Indian Himalayan High-Altitude Protected Areas

Monika Bisht et al.

Summary: This study quantified the impact of anthropogenic disturbances on the vegetation community patterns of two Indian Himalayan National Parks along elevation transects. The findings indicated that anthropogenic pressures not only altered soil properties, but also threatened the species composition, emphasizing the urgent need for mitigation measures to restore the habitat of native, endemic, and threatened plants in these parks.

Soil nutrients concentration along altitudinal gradients in Indian Western Himalaya

Pushpa Kewlani et al.

Summary: The study found that soil nutrient levels, such as OC, TN, and TK, increased with altitude, while pH showed a significant negative correlation. Soil nutrients were higher at 0-15 cm depth compared to 15-30 cm depth. Tree species richness decreased with increasing altitude.

Plant diversity patterns along environmental gradients in Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve, West Himalaya

Balwant Rawat et al.

Summary: This study focused on investigating the relationship between species distribution and environmental variables in mid to high-altitude vegetation in the western Himalayas of India. The results indicated that elevation, slope, and organic carbon were found to be the most significant controlling factors for species distribution.

Decline in forest bird species and guilds due to land use change in the Western Himalaya

Ghazala Shahabuddin et al.

Summary: Land use change leads to significant loss of forest bird species and functional guilds in the Western Himalaya, with forest specialists, pollinators, and insectivores suffering the most in degraded forests, monocultures, and urban sites. Degraded forests show potential as refugia for forest species in landscapes with human imprint, suggesting implications for land use and conservation planning in biodiverse mountain areas.
