Vascular plants at extreme elevations in eastern Ladakh, northwest Himalayas
Original language description
The subnival zone was characterised by extreme diurnal temperature fluctuations, a short growing season (between 88 and 153 days) and low soil temperature during the growing season (between 2.9 °C and 5.9 °C). It hosted 67 species, mainly hemicryptophytes, and ranged from ca. 5600 m to the highest known occurrence of vascular plants in the region (6150 m). The most common plant families were Brassicaceae, Asteraceae, Poaceae, Fabaceae and Cyperaceae. Subnival specialists with narrow elevational ranges represented 42% of the flora; these species were shorter, had relatively higher water content and water-use efficiency and contained more nutrients and soluble carbohydrates than species with a wider elevational range.
