Abstract
Sheosar Lake is located in Deosai plains of great Himalayas, Northern Pakistan at an altitude of 4142 m. Due to its exiting and isolated geographic location and diverse climatic conditions, area harbors very peculiar, highly endemic and unique vegetation. Phytosociological expeditions were carried out to study the vegetation dynamics of the area. A total of 114 plant species belonging to 28 families were reported from the area. Carex-Geranium-Bistorta and Sibbaldia-Saxifraga-Eragrostis communities were found to be the dominant associations. Primary data was analyzed by deterrended correspondence analyses (DCA) which revealed strong correlation between vegetation distribution and the moisture gradient. Regular and integrated explorations are further recommended for conservation management of endemic flora.
