Abstract

The Ladakh Highlands in northern India are characterized by a cold and arid climate, and consist of irrigation agricultural field by melted snow along the river valley. These lands have been converted to plantation area as the younger population moved to more urban regions. The purpose of this study is to examine the forest stand structure and estimate forest resources prior to investigating the balance of forest resources and its usage at the village level. Tree shape differed depending on methods of coppice felling. The correlation between the number of coppices and extent of basal areas depended on usage frequency. Dominant trees varied in stand volume based on altitude.
