Abstract
Mukteshwar and other collection sites of Almora hills shows vegetative dominance over study sites of Nainital and Pithoragarh district, which leads to luxuriant growth of mosses in particularly these sites. Despite of weather conditions variability in vegetation may be more or less due to tourist activity and pollution rate persist in these areas of Kumaon hills. The present study of the distributional pattern of the various taxa of bryophytes clearly indicates that in term of luxuriance and frequency the Western Himalayan territory is floristically very rich.
