Monitoring resilience in Himalayan forest ecosystem requires an understanding of community structure, regeneration, and anthropogenic disturbances. Four classes of temperate broadleaf forest dominated by different species of oak viz., Banj oak (Quercus leucotrichophora), Rianj oak (Q. lanuginosa), Moru oak (Q. floribunda), and Kharsu oak (Q. semecarpifolia) were assessed between 1700-3000 m asl in Askot wildlife sanctuary, western Himalaya. A total of 300 quadrats of 10x10 m size were placed randomly in 30 forest sites at different altitudes using standard phytosociological methodologies. The tree density ranged from 503±33.8 to 694±75.9 indi. ha-1 with a basal area of 45.0±6.5 to 60.4±6.8 m2 ha-1. Across the forest communities, the sapling density was 590±54.9 to 755±63.4 indi. ha-1 and seedling density was 175±88.5 to 770±208.8 indi. ha-1. Principal component analysis was used to examine the impact of anthropogenic pressures on regeneration of different oak communities. The study reveals that despite the extractive pressures on oak forests in the study area, the regeneration of Q. leucotrichophora and Q. lanuginosa was fair. However, the regeneration of Q. semecarpifolia and Q. floribunda was poor which needs to be protected from livestock grazing. In addition to appropriate management inputs, sustainable forest harvesting practices must be implemented in the region.

Five years field explorations in the state of Andhra Pradesh resulted into the documentation of 303 taxa of bryophytes representing 299 species and one subspecies and two varieties belonging to 119 genera and 50 families. Of these, thalloid Hepaticae comprises 51 species belonging to 13 genera and 9 families; foliose Hepaticae comprises 34 species belonging to 19 genera and 9 families; Anthoceratae comprises three species belonging to three genera and two families; acrocarpous mosses comprise 136 taxa belonging to 134 species, 44 genera and 13 families; pleurocarpous mosses comprise of 79 species belonging to 39 genera and 17 families. Systematic enumeration of all the taxa in a tabular form and critical analysis of bryophyte diversity of the state of Andhra Pradesh is presented.
