Abstract

Phytosociological study of Populus euphratica community in the Trans Himalayas of Ladakh was conducted. The vegetation was a high altitude riverain forest with low species diversity (H´=0.8569) and high concentration of dominance (Cd=0.5162). In the upper layer P. euphratica dominated the association with IVI value of 219.26 while in the middle layer Berberis ulicina was the dominant species (IVI=57.33). A change in nomenclature of the forest under type 13/1S2 in the Forest Types of India is suggested in light of the present observations.
