Abstract

The present study was carried out on six forest sites dominated by Quercus leucotrichophora and Q. floribunda forests to assess variations in floral biodiversity and community with changes in microclimatic conditions between 2090 and 2200 m elevation in Nainital on 3 different aspects. The composition of tree layer was more or less similar across the studied sites. The impact of aspect change on shrub and herb species diversity and density was also insignificant possibly because of little change in altitude and canopy cover (above 70%) in the studied sites.
