Coordinate basis: estimated from map

Geography comments: "in Shiwalik Forest Division (Dehradun District)"
coordinate is based on Fig. S1 and is the approximate midpoint of four indicated sites
elevation 600 to 800 m

Environment
Habitat: tropical/subtropical dry broadleaf forest

Substrate: ground surface

Disturbance: grazing,selective logging

MAP: 2025.0

Habitat comments: "moist deciduous forests... dominated by late successional Shorea robusta (Sal)... a humid tropical monsoon climate... anthropogenic pressures on these forests are increasing in the form of expanding habitation, illegal harvesting, lopping, grazing, forest fires, tourism, and industrial expansion"
