Geography comments: "within the Lahaul division" and specifically in the "Jahlmanal watershed in the Lahaul valley... The watershed starts at the confluence of Jahlmanal and Chandra-Bhaga at an elevation of 2723 m asl in the south and end at 3600 m asl in the north"
coordinate based on Kardang

Environment
Habitat: temperate broadleaf/mixed forest

Altered habitat: disturbed forest

CMT and WMT estimated from Fig. 2

Methods
Life forms: trees

Sites: 10

Site area: 0.1

Sampling methods: quadrat

Sample size: 42 individuals

Size min: 5

Basal area: 3.946

Sampling comments: "Three transects were laid down starting from a base of the slope to the end of the vegetation zone in each selected site. The transects were 200 m apart from each other. The quadrats (10x10 m2) were laid down for tree and shrubs in a line running method (Kershaw 1973) along slopes with an interval of 10 m" (apparently meaning that there was one transect in this habitat consisting of 10 quadrats)
