**2.2.1 Phytosociology data analysis**

For the analysis of data the methodology is same as discussed in chapter-2. Six transects were laid (10 x 500m) and the individuals with 10cm were enumerated. For each of these plots the GPS location was collected using handheld Garmin E-trex GPS and other biotic and abiotic environmental parameters (slope, aspect and altitude) were gathered. The fieldwork was conducted in January 2006 to March 2007.
