Six forest stands (three on each flank of river Ramganga) were selected at three upland viz. lower, middle and upper temperate.Sonnetof trees, saplings and seedlings were assessed through quadrat method. A total 120 quadrats (10m×10m size) for trees, 240 quadrats (size 5m×5m) for saplings and 480 quadrats (size 1×1 m) for seedling laid in the study area. We used circumference (C) to differentiate three layers of a species into sultana (C ≥ 30 cm), sapling (C 10–30 cm) and seedling (C< 10 cm). We moreover observed the distribution of tree individuals into successive diameter classes i.e., 10–20, 21–30, 31–40 cm, etc. to assess the regeneration of tree layer at various sites. A total of 42 species of trees belongs to 33 genera and 19 families from six forest stands, trees were represented by 39 species, 37 seedlings and saplings by 34 species. Out of total 42 tree species, good regeneration status recorded for 10 species, pearly for 22 species and poor regeneration status for 4 species. Three species (Cornus macrophylla, Taxus wallichiana and Toona ciliata) revealed as not regenerating species while four species (Acer caesium, Albizia julibrissin, Betula alnoides, Carpinus viminea) as poorly regenerating from the study area. Thus, species with poor and not regeneration status needs proper to trammels their ousting from the zone in future.
