The subtropical rain forests are confined to the Siwaliks and lower slopes of the Middle Himalayas. Owing to the seasonality of rainfall and edaphic factors there is great diversity of trees in these forest. These factors have a thick undergrowth of bushes and scrubs. The dominant species of subtropical forests are teak, sal, Shisham, Pipal (ficus religiosa
. Temperate Forests:
Moving northwards as the latitude and altitude increase the place of the subtropical forest is taken by temperate vegetation. The slopes of Pir Panjal, Greater Himalayas, Zanskar and Karakoram between 1,500 m to 3,000 m are dominated by temperate forests. The dominant species in these forest are deodar (cedrus Deodara), pine (pinus), silver-fir, spruce, fir, elm, alder, cedar, ash, sorrel, birch, paper-birch, and
Alpine Pastures:
In the state of Jammu and Kashmir the vegetation, especially grasses belonging to the higher regions of mountain system is known as Margs or alpine pastures. The alpine pastures lie between 3600 m to 4000 m above the sea level. Being the zone of high altitudes, the climate in alpine pastures is extremely cold over greater parts of the year.
