Abstract

The present work aimed to study the phytosociological characters of forest vegetation in mixed deciduous forest of Tarai of Kumaun Himalaya near Kashipur. Phytosociological characters of vegetation were calculated for all forest layers i.e. trees, shrubs and herbs. In this review, we are discussing different phytosociological characters and compare it with various forest types of Himalaya.
