ABSTRACT

Vegetation of hills, plains and water courses of

the diverse areas ranging from Harnai, Sinjawi to Duki

regions were studied by point centred quarter method(Cottom

and Curtis,1956).

the basis of index of similarity (Bray & Curtis,1957).Plant communities were classified on

Out of 111 stands,102 communities were thus recog¬

nized; 50 communities on the hills, 21 communities in the

plains and 31 communities in the water courses.

mmunities were further grouped on altitudinal basis into

four different ecological zones i.e. lower zone, lower

middle zone, upper middle zone and upper zone.

sition of vegetation at different altitudes were described.

Plant communities of the hills, plains and water courses

having first dominant common, were further grouped into di¬

fferent association types.

These co-

The compo-

The communities of hills were found to have high

stand density and stand cover followed by plains and water

courses. Both species diversity and vegetational diversity

were found to be high on the hills followed by water courses

and plains. High species diversity appears to be associated

with soils having high maximum water holding capacity,organic

-viii-

matter and fine-texture. Certain communities of protected

areas have also indicated high species diversity, and high

coverage. The maturity and homogeneity of all the communi¬

ties of hills, plains and water courses were generally

found to be low.

The density size class structure of the communities

of hills, plains and water courses revealed that in the

trees and shrubs stratum, Plea ferruginea reproducing well

in the communities of the hills, plains and water courses.

Caragana ambigua and Prunus brahuica shows very well regen¬

eration in the communities of hills and plains. Juniperus

polycarpos « Pistacia mutica, Cotoneaster nummularia, Acacia

modesta. Abelia triflora and Caragana ulcina reproducing

well in the communities of hills, and Fraxinus xanthoxyloid-

es and Nannorhops ritchieana shows very well regeneration in

the communities of water courses.

In the herbs and under-shrubs stratum Cymbbpogon

.jawarancusa is reproducing very well in the communities of

hills, plains and water courses. Convolvulus spinsus. Thymua

serpyllum and Chrysopogon aucheri are reproducing well in the

communities of hills and plains. Eulaliopsis binata, Alopecu-

-ix-

rus arundinaceus. Plectranthus rugosus and Dichanthium

foveolatum are reproducing well in the communities of

hills. Artemisia stricta shows well regeneration in

the communities of plains. Saccharum ravennae. Perovsk-

ia abrotanoides. Saccharum bengalense. Salvia nubicola.

Pennisetum orientale and Arundo donax were reproducing

very well in the communities of water courses and appear

to be very promising species for further.

Among topographic factors, aspects seems to play

an important role in the distribution of communities of

hills. Similarly, wet water courses had Saccharum bengal-

ense. Arundo donax. Cotoneaster nummularis. Dalbergia

8issoo. etc. as the dominant species. Among the dry water

courses, the dominant species differed in narrow, medium

and wide water courses. The vegetation in sloping plains

and flat plains also showed significant differences.

Life form and leaf size spectra of the communities

of the study areas were constructed according to Runkiaer

(1905 & /l93ÿ)» Hemicrytophytes, Therophytes and Chamaephy-

tes were found to be significantly higher and Geophytes

were found to be significantly lower than the "Normal

spectrum" of RaunkiaerClSlS). Life form spectrum of differ¬

ent ecological zone shows that Phanerophytes decrease gradu-

-X-

ally from lower elevation to higher elevations. Chama-

ephytes increase gradually from lower elevation to higher

elevations.

Microphyll leaf size class was found to be the

highest percentage, followed by nannophylls. Leaf size

spectrum of different ecological zone shows that lepto-

phylls increase from lower zone to upper middle zone and

the upper zone. Microphylls increase gradually from lower

to upper zone.

Soils of 102 communities were analysed for physical

and chemical characteristics. Correlation of plant communi¬

ties with the edaphic factors have been discussed. Soil

texture, maximum water holding capacity, organic matter,

CaCOj, E.C., HCOj, Ca+Mg, Na, K, SAR and PAR were found to

be important edaphic factors affecting the distribution of

vegetation types.

Importance values of dominant plants and soil cha¬

racteristics indicated that Cymbopogon .jawarancusa shows sligh¬

tly.Mgh positive correlation with silt and slightly high

negative correlation with Ca+Mg. Saccharum ravennae shows

slightly high positive correlation with silt and slightly

high negative correlation with organic matter. Thymus ser-

pyllum shows slightly high positive correlation with silt

-Xi¬

and slightly high negative correlation with sand.

Cotoneaster nummularia shows slightly high positive

correlation with organic matter and slightly high negative

correlation with maximum water holding capacity. Plea

ferruginea shows slightly high positive correlation with

K and slightly high negative correlation with CaCOÿ.Juniperus polycarpos shows slightly high positive correla¬

tion with silt and slightly high negative correlation with

Study area lies between 29° 48' and 50° 25*

latitudes and 67° 50' and 69° 15* longitudes. The elevation

ranges from 600 meters to 3490 meters.

It is bounded to the north by Loralai district, to

the west by Quetta and Ziarat districts, to the east by Kohlu

Agency and Sibi District and to the south by Kachi district.

The study area consists of the rugged mountains of Kasa sar

(34-90 m ), Loua ghar (3090 m) Pan sar (2700 m) and Siualo

(2330 m) elevation. The main rocks types

Siwaliks groups (early Pleistocene and middle Miocene) .Ghazig

consist of

The study area is mostly covered with thick vegetat¬

ion but some parts of the area is of baren rocks, where soil

is either totally absent or confined to shallow lithosol. Soils

are . light gray, dark brown, gravelly clay loam with a surface

-2-

covering of gravel. The soils are mostly fine- textured,

highly calcarious, non saline and moderately alkaline. The

hills of Brauhi range appear in the form of parallel

ranges with narrow valleys in their midist. The main valleys

are the Harnai valley, which extends from the Chappar mountain

to Spintangi, Churmana valley between Wuzgara and Mashtati,

Sirki valley, which is extended from Wazdana to Duki and

Chautair valley, which extends from Turvomana to Tand wani etc.

The climate of the study area varies with elevation.

It ranges from cold temperate, to cool temperate, semi arid

warm temperate and semi arid subtropical.

The climate of the highlands (Kasa sar, Loua ghar and

Pan sar) is pleasantly cool in summer and extremely cold in

winter. The greater part is characterized by excessive cold

during winter. Snow falls form a potential reserves of

water, which percolates into the deeper layers of the soils

and inters into the crevices of the rocks. Frosts are frequent

in winter and their frequency is greatly increased by the

cold winds which blow for a good part of the year and agrre-

gate the effect of dessication and cold. In Harnai and Spintangi

areas the heat in summer is sever*.

The study area lies out side the mansoon area, and

the rainfall is irregular and scanty, mostly confined to

winter.

In the highlands the mountains affects the

direction and force of the winds, which at many places

assume the character of drought. Between January and March

the direction varies significantly and at this time there

are often cold and bitter winds blowing from the north.

Mean annual rainfall at Ziarat is 323*8 mm and snow fall is

176-5 cm, usually occurs from November to April. At Loralai

mean annual precipitation is 244.4 mm and at Sibi mean annual

precipitation is 143.0 mm.

The mean maximum temperature for the hottest month

at Ziarat is 27.4 °C, at Loralai 35-2 °C and at Sibi 45*3 °C,

and mean minimum temperature for the coldest month at Ziarat

-1.4 °C and at Sibi 6.1 °C-8.8 °C, at Loralaiis

(Tablei),

Average rainfall in Ziarat is about 300.0 mm in a

year and in Loralai district and in Harnai Tehsil of Sibi

district, it averages from 320.5 mm to 420.5 mm in a year

quarter method” (Cottam & Curtis, 1956) randomly. To eliminats

personal bias in the sampling, an iron cross was tossed

the area randomly. Trees and shrubs, herbs and undershrubs

nearest to the sampling point in each quadrant was noted,its

circumference and point to plant distance were measured with

the helf of measuring tape. Each stand was sampled by 50 - 55

sampling point where as in some stands vegetation was sampled

by nearest neighbour method. Wherever certain stands exhibited

greater similarity in the composition and in dominance of

species were merged together to form abstract communities.

in

All the phytosociological attributes were computed

according to Cottam and Curtis (1956) but the importance value

-18-

was calculated according to Lindsey (1955).

Nomenclature of plants followed is that of Stewart

(1972). Wherever, subsequent nomenclatural changes have

been promulgated ( in the underprint Flora of Pakistan), the

valid names were followed. Voucher specimens have been deposited in

the harbarium of Botany Department, Baluchistan University.

Homogeneity of communities

Community homogeneity was determined following

Raunkiaer's 093ÿ) law of frequency. The proportions of the

classes A and B versus class D and E were compared to derive

approximate conclusion regarding homogeneity.

Inedex of Similarity

Index of similarity (Bray & Curtis, 1957) was

computed using cover per hectare of species. The formula of

index of similarity is as follows:2 W -x 100.A+B

Where " W " means sum of quantitative data common

to two communities, and A and B represent sum of quantitative

data in communities 'a' and 'b*. Following Bray and Curtis

(1957) "W" represent the lowest score of data of a species in

the two communities (a & b). Cover per hectare of species was

used as the quantitative data in computing the index of simila¬

rity.

Speciea Diversity

Species diversity was calculated for each community

using Menhinick (1964) index which is as follows.

Total number of species in a communitySpecies diversity®

// Total number of individuals counted

Density Size Class Table

Cain's (1932) density - size table was modified to

suite the herbaceus, shruby and trees communities of the study

area and the following size classes were used:

SOIL ANALYSIS

Two soil samples were collected in each stand,

one from surface (0-15 cm) and another from sub-surface

60.0 cm) depth. These samples were analysed for

soil texture, organic matter, maximum water holding capaci¬

ty and calcium carbonate. Whereas sub-surface soils(extract)

were used for the analysis of pH, EC, bicarbonate, chlorides,

calcium plus magnesium, sodium and potassium.

Physical Characteristics

1.Soil Texture

Percentage of sand, silt and clay were determined

by Bouyoucos (1951) hydrometer method using 25 gm. of soil,

and sodium oxylate as the dispersing agent.

these percentage soil textural class was determined.

On the basis of

2.Organic Matter

A rough estimation of organic matter present in the

soil was made by treating 4 gm. of soil with hydrogen peroxide

on a hot plate. After the reaction/effervescence was completed,

the loss in weight of the soil was determined and expressed as

percentage of organic matter (Tareen & Qadir, 1987).

RESULTS

A total of 111 ( One hundred and eleven) stands

were studied in the diverse areas ranging from Harnai,

Sinjawi to Duki regions. Fifty five stands were found

in the hills, twenty three stands were found in the

plains and thirty three stands were found in the water

courses.

On the basis of index of similarity (Bray &

Ctratis, 1957) twenty one plant communities were observed

in plains. Due to a large number of combinations for cal¬

culating the index of similarity between the stands of

hills and water courses, the similarity index were calcu¬

late only between the closely similar stands (Table 4).

The level of index of similarity used for integration of

similar stands was 65%» Thus 50 plant communities were

recognized in the hills and 31 plant communities were

found in the water courses.

These communities of the hills, plains and water

courses were further grouped (Table 3) into four ecological

zones viz.,:

species diversity.

The lowest (0.45) species diversity was observed

in Dodonea viaoosa- Eulaliopsia binata community (Table 6 ).The species diversity in the plains ranged from

0.65 to 1.54.Prunus brahuica- Dichanthium foveolatum-

Juniperu8 polycarpos had high (>1.5 ) species diversity.

The rest of the communities had moderate (1.0-1.5)

to low (<£-1.0) species diversity.

The lowest ( 0.63) species diversity was observed

in Ebenus stellata- Chrysopogon aucheri community(Table 6).

The species diversity in water courses ranged from

0.81 to 1.82.

The following communities had high (>1.5) species

diversity.

The lowest (0.81) species diversity was observed in

Juniperus polycarpos community (Table 6 ).

Community Maturity

Pichi- Sermollis (1948) community maturity index in

the communities of the hills ranged from 13.14 to 40.7%.

Twelve communities had less than 20.0 % maturity

index.

Community maturity index in the communities of the

plains ranged from 16.09 to 36.24%. Relatively high maturity

index (36.24%) was observed in Onobrychus cornuta- Thymus

-52-

serpyllum community and lowest community maturity index

(16.09) was observed in Cymbopogon jawarancusa- Prunus

taraftni c.n community. The following four communities had

less than 20% community maturity index.

Haloxylon salicornium-Zizyphus nummularia-Convol-

vulua spinosus (19-74%).

Piptatherum hilariae- Artemisia stricta (19.74%).

Salvia nubicola (18.48%).

Artemisia stricta- Juniperus polycarpos-Thymua

serpyllum (19.88%).

In the communities of water courses, community

maturity index ranged from 14.75% to 30.66% • Fourteen

communities had less than 20.0% maturity index (Table 6).

Community Homogeneity

Raunkider's (1934) law of frequency was used as a

measure of community homogeneity. None of the communities

in the hills, plains and water courses exhibited a frequency

distribution that may be considered as close fit to Raunkiaer's

Law. However in the communities of the plains Cotoneaster

nummularia- Garagana ambigua had all the five classes of

frequency. Ebenus stellata- Chrysopogon aucheri. Ebenus stellata-

Tetrapogon villosus- Convolvulus spinosus. Ebenus stellata „

Dichanthium foveolatum- Caragana ambigua- Cotoneaster

nummularis. Piptatherum bilariae- Artemisia stricta.

Brunus brahuica- Dichapthium foveolatum- Juniperus poly-

carpos. Acantholimon munroanum and Artemisia stricta

communities represented toy four classes, while eleven

communities where represented by three classes and

Cymbopogon .jawarancusa- Prunus brahuica community repres¬

ented only by two classes (Table 6 ).

In water courses three communities were represen¬

ted by five classes, seven communities were represented by

four classes and the remaining communities were represent¬

ed by three classes.

In the hills ten communities were represented by

classes and the remaining communities were represen¬

ted by four and three classes (Table 6 ).

Life Form Spectrum

The life form spectra of the communities of hills,

plains and water courses revealed that hemicryptophytes

(27.86, 37.11, 30.7 %) , therophytes (27.86, 21.64, 26.31 %)

and chamaephytes (10.63, 12.37, 10.32 were significantly

higher than the normal spectrum (26.0, 13*0, 9.0 %) of

Phanerophytes (31.14, 26.8, 32.33 %) were found

to be high in the hills and water courses and low in the

plains than normal spectrum (28.0 %) whereas geophytes (2.43,

2.06, 0.75 %) were found to be significantly lower than the(4.O%0

normal spectrum (Table 9a).

Raunkiaer' s.

Life form spectra constructed for different ecologi¬

cal zones shows minor changes. Phanerophytes decrease grad¬

ually from lower elevation to higher elevations. Chamaephy¬

tes gradually increase in number with increase in altitude

and found to be high (12.69 %) in upper most zone(ÿ> 2400 m).

Hemicryptophytes shows minor changes between different (Table 9b)

ecological zone. Geophytes (4.76 %) were found to be slightly

high at upper middle zone and in other zones they are very

low. Therophytes increase in number in lower middle

zone (1350 - 2000 m) and upper most zone ( > 2400 m).

-113-

Leaf Size Spectrum

Leaf size spectrum of the communities of the hills,

plains and water courses were found to contain higher perc¬

entage of microphylla (44.0, 42.10, 44.0 ) followed by

nanophylls (29-6, 38.94, 26.86), while leptophylls and

mesophylls were represented by slightly low percentage and

macrophyll by very low percentage (Table 9a ).Leaf size spectrum of different ecological zone

shows that leptophylls percentage were increase from lower

zone to upper middle zone (600 - 2400 m)3 and at the upper

zone ( J> 2400 m). Nanophylls shows minor change and

decrease from lower to higher zones. Microphylla increase

gradually in number from lower to upper zones. Mesophylls

were found to be slightly high at lower middle zone and

(Table 9b).ffacrophyll at lower zones.

Edaphology of Plant Communities

Among the edaphic factors studied, considerable

plant communities appear to indicate some correlations with

soil texture, maximum water holding capacity (MWHC) , organic

matter(O.M.) pH, electrical conductivity, calcium carbonate,

bicarbonate, chlorides, calcium plus magnesium, sodium,

potassium, sodium adsorption ratio (SAP,) and potassium

adsorption ratio (PAfi).

Soil Texture.

Soil texture varied from sandy loam to loam in

the hills. Cymbopogon .jawarancusa community was found on loamy

soils. Acacia modest a and Juniperus polycarpos- Thymus serpyll-

um- Berber!s baluchistanica communities were found on sandy clay

soils. Ebenus stellata- Cymbopogon .jawarancusa. Daphne mucronata_

Cymbopogon .jawarancusa- Chrysopogon serrulatus- Ebenus stellata

and Cymbopogon .jawarancusa- Pennlsetum orientale communities

were found on sandy loam soils*Pistacia mutica- Plea ferruginea

community was found on sandy loam to sandy clay loam soils. The

rest of the forty three communities were found on sandy clay

loam soils (Table 10).

In the plains soil texture varied from sandy loam

to sandy clay loam. Artemisia stricta- Tetrapogon villosus-

Peganum harmala- Ebenus stellata , Haloxylon salicornicum-

-122-

Zizyphus nummularia- Convolvulus spinosus and Artemisia

stricta communities were found on sandy loant soils. The

rest of the nineteen communities were found on sandy clay

loam soils (Table 10 ).

Soil texture in the water courses varied from

loamy sand to sandy clay loam. Glycyrrhiza glabra commu¬

nity was found on loamy sand soils. Sophora mollis-

Saccharum ravennae- Phlomis stewartii community was found

on loamy sand to sandy loam soils. Twelve communities

were found on sandy loam soils. Saccharum bengalense-

Cytmbopogon .jawarancusa was found on sandy loam to sandy

clay loam soils. The rest of the sixteen plant communities

were found on sandy clay loam soils (Table 10 ).

Organic Matter.

Organic matter in the soils of the plant communi¬

ties of hills ranged between 0.57 to 10.55%* The following

plant communities were found to have high organic matter

( > 3*0%).

DISCUSSION

Fifty communities were found in the hills, thirty

one communities were found in water courses and twenty one

communities were found in the plains*

Vegetational diversity were found to be high on

the hills followed by water courses and plains.

Out of 50 communities of the hills 7 communities

viz.. Cymbopogon martinii, Prunus brahuica- Alopecurus arundi-

naceus- Cotoneaster nummular-i « - Sageretia thea. Prunus

brahuica- Plea ferruginea- Daphne mucronata. JEbelia triflo¬

ra- Alopecurus arundinaceus- Sageretia thea- Cymbopogon .1awa-

rancm, Dichanthium fovedatum- Juniperus polycarpos-Astraga¬

lus zarghumensis , Prunus brahuica- Dichanthium foveolatum -Juniperus polycarpos and Juniperus polycarpos- Alopecurus

arundinaceus- Thymus serpyllum communities were found in the

protected areas of Tomagh and Kirbykuch, whereas Juniperus

polycarpos community was common to both protected and unpro¬

tected areas. In the plains three communities viz.; Cymbopogon

.lawarancusa- Prunus brahuica, Pipt atherum hilariae- Artemisia

stricta, Prunus brahuica- Dichanthium foveolatum- Juniperus

polycarpos were found in the protected areas of Tomagh and

Kirbykuch, whereas Cymbopogon .lawarancusa community was common

to both protected and un-protected areas.

-164-

In water courses two communities, Fraxinus xanthoxyloid.es-

Pietacia khin.juk- Cymbopogon .lawarancusa- Caragana ambigua

and Fraxinus xanthoxyloides- Cotoneaster numularia- Cymbo-

pogon .lawarancusa- Pistacia mutica communities were found

in the protected areas of Tomagh.

Similarity Index

The extraction of plant communities at 65%

similarity index level seems to be quite appropriate (Tareen,

1986) although slightly higher levels have been used in

certain works (Shah, 1985, Majeed 1985 and Ahmed 1985)* The

correlation of communities with the edaphic factors obtained

in the present work further supports the level of extraction

of communities.

Vegetational Cover

The highest vegetational cover wa3 found in hills

followed by plains and water courses. (Tareen, 1986) also

obtained the same results.

Vegetation cover was quite high in Kirbykuch enclo¬

sure as compared to unprotected areasÿbecause of lack of

human dist«t±bance and grazing pressure in protected areas.

Several workers (Repp &, Khan, 1958; Said &, Hussain 1959*

Irshad, 1961, Beg &, Repp 1966, Khan 1977 and Tareen, 1986)

-165-

have pointed out increased total coverage in a huapber of

enclosures in Baluchistan.

Species Diversity

The species diversity was found to be high in ten

communities of hills, eight communities of water courses and

one community of plains. Maximum water holding capacity and

organic matter were also found to be high in those communiti¬

es having high species diversity.

In the hills Dichanthium foveolatum-Juniperus

polycarpos- Astragalus zarghumensis »Prunus brahuica- Dichan¬

thium foveolatum-Juniperus polycarpos. Juniperus polycarpos-

Alopecurus arundinaceus- Thymus serpyllum and Prunus brahuica

Plea ferruginea- Daphne mucronata communities y having high

species diversity were found in protected areas with high maxi¬

mum water holding capacity and high organic matter.

In plains Prunus brahuica- Dichanthium foveolatum-

Juniperus polycarpos community was found in protected areas

having high maximum water holding capacity and slightly high

organic matter.

In water courses PraYinun xanthoxyloideB- Pistacia

Khin.luk -Cymbopogon jawarancusa- Caragana ambigua community

was found in protected area having slightly high maximum water

holding capacity and organic matter.

-166-

Majeed (198*5) also found high species diversity in

water courses communities of newly enclosed areas of Hazar-

ganji and he related high species diversity with the better

soil moisture regime of water courses. Similar results

were obtained by Ahmed (1985) for woodland communities ofTopographic Influences

In the hills nineteen communities show some corre¬

lations with certain aspects of the hills. In the plains out'

of 21 communities five communities were found on flat plains,

and sixteen communities were found on sloping plains. Perovskia

limon munroanum was found on flat plains.

More or less similar results were obtained by Tareen

(1986) for the plains of Quetta districts.

In water courses 11 communities were found in narrow

Community Homeogenaity

None of the communities indicated homogenous

condition in accordance with RaunRider ' s law of frequency.

Class A was well represented in all casses. However, in the

communities of the plains only one community (Cotoneaster

nummularia- Caragana ambigua) . in water course three communi¬

ties ( Cotoneaster nummularia- Spiraea boissieri- Dichanthium

foveolatum, Juniperus polycarpos and Dalbergia sissoo- Acacia

Cymbopogon .lawarancusa) were better than the rest in having

all 5 classes of frequency and it is perhaps so for to conc¬

lude that they are advancing towards homogeneity. Non-homo-

genous condition of communities was reported by Ahmed (1985)

for wood-land communities of Hazarganji.

Community Maturity:

Community maturity was generally found to be low

in the communities of the hills, plains and water courses of

the study area. The maturity was low because of greater

number of sporadic species in the communities »Ahmed (1985)

also reported low maturity in the woodlands communities of

Hazarganji, and Majeed (1985) for water courses communities

of newly enclosed area of Hazarganji.

Stand Density:

Average stand density was found to be high( 210165.24)

in the communities of hills followed by plains ( 194-791.02) and

water courses (57946.03).

Stand Cover ;

Stand cover was consistently high in the communities

of the hills followed by plains and water courses.

Life form and. Leaf Size Spectra

Life form spectrum of the plant communities of the

phanerophytes were found to he high in the communities of

hills and water courses and low in the communities of plains,

and geophytes were found to he low than the normal spectrum.

According to Cain & Castro (1959), Shimwell

(1971) and other workers, hemicryptophytes are characteristics

of temperate regions, therophytes characteristics of deserts

climate. The study area has cold temperate, to warm temperate

and subtropical climate and the life form spectrum clearly

indicate these important features of climate having high

percentage of hemicryptophytes and therophytes.

Phanerophytes decrease gradually from lower elevation

to higher elevations. Chamaephytes increase gradually from

lower elevation to higher elevation and found to he high in

upper most zone. Geophytes were found to he slightly high at

upper middle zone and therophytes were found to he high in

lower middle zone and upper most zone. Braun- Blanquet (1932)

-178-

discussed that in the Alps the vegetation on snowless

ridges consisted of two thirds of chamaphytes and one

third of hemicryptophytes, while the adjoining snow-

covered ridges contained 64% hemicryptophytes and only

30% chamaephytes. Gain (1950) regarding therophytes,

has stated that these develop especially in an area

where the native vegetation has been disturbed. Since

the vegetation of study area can be considered as dis¬

turbed and have high representation, of therophytes .Deschnes (1969) in northern New Jersey also found the

hemicryptophytic habit as the prevailing type in the

grazing pastures.

Sapru et al (1975) stated that chamaephytes are

able to flourish in areas which are subjected to heavy

disturbance especially grazing by animals. Kaui and

Sarin (1976), through life form classification and the

biological spectrum of the flora of Bhaderwah, found a

geo-chamaphytic climate for the area. There was a

decrease in phanerophytes and therophytes from lower to

higher elevation and this decrease was accompanied by a

gradual increase in chamaephytes and hemicryptophytes

upto an elevation of 3500 m.

Thus the present study supports the concept of

-179-

Cain (1950) and Deschenes (1969) that over grazing and

trampling which is so prevalent on grasslands, tend to

increase the percentage of therophytes through the int¬

roduction and spread of weedy grasses and forbs of this

life form. Gppta and Kachroo (1983) also reported for

the flora of Yusmarg, Kashmir that between 2400 to 2630m,

the biological spectrum indicates a geo-therophytic type

of climate,

The results obtained in this study reveals that

hemicryptophytes and therophytes are the largest life form

Champhytes also show a

higher percentage over those in the normal spectrum.

class in the flora of study area.

Cain & Castro (1959) compiled life form spectra

of many climatic regions of the world and when the life

form spectra of the communities of study area was compared

with these spectra, it was found to very closely approach

the spectra of the cold deserts (Joppen's BWK bio-climate

type) regions. These facts further supports the above con¬

clusions regarding the high therophytes. Tareen (1986) also

reported high percentage of hemicryptophytes and therophytes

for the flora of Quetta district.

As regards the leaf size spectra, microphylls were

found to be high followed by nanophylls. Microphylls are

-180-

usually characteristics of steppes, nanophylls and

leptophylls characteristics of hot deserts (Cain &

Castro, 1959).

Leptophylls increase from lower to upper middle

zone and decrease at the upper most zones. Nanophylls

shows minor changes between the different zone. Microphy-

11s increase gradually from lower to upper most zone.

Mesophylls were slightly high at lower middle and macroph-

ylls at lower zone. So elevational differences in leaf

size are correlated with climatic warmth; large leaves

occurs in warmer climates than smaller leaves. This

relationship appears to be a universal characteristics of

humid to prehumid moisture regimes. Observed relationships

between small leaves and cold may be due to the advantage

of small leaves in retaining moisture. Moisture retension

is critical when root sensitivity to low temperatures

results in a decreased rate of water absorption from the

soil, as may be the case in a large aegment of the tropical

flora (Greller, 1988). Dolph and Dilcher (1980 a) recogni¬

zed three altitudinal zone of forest in Costa Rica as"

foliar belts". The lower belt was characterized by 82.2 %

species with large leaves, the next higher belt by 45.8 %

species with large leaves; and the next higher belt had

fewer than 5% species with large leaves. Dolph and Dilcher

-181-

(1980b) concluded that leaf size (alone) cannot be used

to identify specific life zones or climates /either extant

or fossil flora.

The high percentage of microphylls is the

the study areas. Tareen(l986) aiso reported high percent¬

age of microphylls and nanophylls for the flora of Quetta

district .

EDAPHOLOGY OF PLANT COMMUNITIES

Soil Texture

Generally speaking, the soils of the study areas

were found to be fine- textured soils. On the hill 4 com¬

munities were found on coarse-textured soils and 46 commun¬

ities were found on fine-textured soils. On the plains 3

communities were found on coarse-textured soils and 18 commu¬

nities were found on fine-textured soils.

In the water courses 13 communities were found on

coarse textured soils and 16 communities were found on fine—textured soils.

Hills and plains are characterized by fine-textured

soils. However, water courses have even distribution of

coarse and fine textured soils (Table 10).

More or less similar results were obtained by Sheikh

et al (1974) for irrigated soils of Loralai and Sibi districts,

Mohammad (198?) for water courses of Shreen valley, Ahmed (1988)

for the water courses of Chautair valley and Ilyas (1988) for

Kirbykuch enclosure*

Organic Matter

Organic matter are generally found to be high in the

Maximum Water Holding Capacity

Maximum water holding capacity in the study area

were generally found to be high in the hills and plains and

low in water courses. On the hills *K) communities have high

maximum water holding capacity, on the plains 17 communities

have high maximum water holding capacity, whereas in water

courses only one community has high maximum water holding ca¬

pacity.
