Life-forms and clonality of vascular plants along an altitudinal gradient in E Ladakh (NW Himalayas).
Original language description
Altitudinal distribution of life-forms of vascular plants was studied in E Ladakh (W Himalayas, NW India) along one of the world's most prominent altitudinal gradients, ranging from 4180 to 6000 m a.s.l., in an area of 10,227 km2. Among 404 species recorded in total, hemicryptophytes prevailed strongly (251 species, 62.1%), followed by therophytes with 90 species (22.3%). Chamaephytes comprised 22 species (5.4%) and geophytes 17 species (4.2%). Phanerophytes (14 species, 3.5%) and hydrophytes (7 species, 1.7%) were rare. The life-form spectrum reflects prevailing desert-steppe and steppe vegetation in the study area. A Monte Carlo test was used to obtain expected ranges in life-form diversity and abundance of individual life-forms along the altitudinalgradient. The number of actually present life-forms recorded from 50 m altitudinal steps was usually within the range expected from that null model, rarely lower than expected. Clonal plants comprised 26.7% of the total species number.
