Pradeepen Rai *, Grace Kikon AffiliationsDr. Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni -Solan, Himachal Pradesh, India Abstract Two differently managed Quercus leucotrichophora forests viz. Reserved Forest (RF) and Protected Forest (PF) were selected at Rajgarh Forest Division in Himachal Pradesh. These selected forests were remoter delineated into three elevations ranges as; E <1 1650 m, E2 = 1651 to 1900 m and E3>1900 m for enumeration to understand the effect of management and altitudinal gradient on phytosociological nature and polity structure. Total density and total undermost zone of shrubs and herbs was recorded higher under Q. leucotrichophora reserved forest as compared to protected forest. However, no definite pattern of transpiration was observed in its total density and undermost zone withal the elevation for both shrubs and herbs components. Reserved forest had Myrisine-Daphne, Strobilanthes- Rubus and Boenninghausenia-Carissa while, protected forest had Boenninghausenia-Daphne, Strobilanthes-Myrsine, Daphne-Sarcococca as dominant shrubs communities at elevations E1, E2 and E3, respectively. Likewise, herbage communities at reserved forest had Viola-Heteropogon, Viola-Cyperus and Malaxis-Viola while protected forest had Bidens- Imperata, Oplismenus-Digiteria and Digiteria-Oplismenus at respective E1, E2 and E3 elevations. The understorey species was found to have wide ecological width influencing dominance and performance profoundly as reflected by quantitative features such as density, undermost area, frequency, A/F ratio and importance value index. Regular distribution was increasingly prominent than contagious and random distribution depicting existence of severe competition between the individual species. Higher values of phytosociological nature in reserved forest could be ascribed to higher stratum of protection and management strategies unexplored which wasn't the specimen in protected forest.
