The study was carried out in two dominant forest types i.e., Bnaj
oak and Chir pine forests to assess vegetation analysis,
physico-chemical characteristics and soil organic carbon stock. The
study suggests that in both the forest types, the tree density and
total basal cover of forests decreased with increasing altitudes.
The soil condition of Banj-oak forest was comparatively better than
the Chir-pine forest. The carbon stock along altitudes between the
forest showed decreasing trend as 72 8, 70.4 11.2 and 64 5.6 for
Bnaj oak and 60 3.8, 50.4 7.2 and 49.6 8 t C ha-1 for Chir pine
forests. The decreasing trend of soil carbon stock in both the
forests with increasing altitude might be due to reduction in trees
density, total basal cover and litter production with altitude.
Between the forests all the related parameter studies were better
in Banj-oak forest than in Chir pine forest. But it is also
important to note that those sites where nutrients levels are lower
and harsh conditions dominant are occupied by Chir pine forest.
Therefore preference should be given to the Banj-oak forests to
enhance over all productivity of the forest.
