Abstract

A few species of oak found in the Himalaya are some of the largest forests forming species in the world (Singh et al. 2000). Among the various oak species that occur in central Himalaya viz., Qurecus leucotrichophora, Q. floribunda, Q. glauca, Q. semecarpifolia and Q. lanuginosa (Singh and Singh 1992), Q. leucotrichophora contributes to a greater proportion of ecosystem services than most of other species in the region (Singh 2002; Joshi et al. 2011).
