Abstract: | Seedling establishment in harsh environment was a rare and sporadic event due to the prevalent high temperatures and low moisture
regimes. Also in response to harsh conditions seedlings establishment of many species appear to be more frequent under canopies
of nurse plants. In these interactions the seedling benefit from the micro environment created by the adult nurse plants.
In Himalaya some of the host plants are typically colonizer of nutrient-poor soils in habitats such as eroded soils and rocky
surfaces. Many of the plants themselves do not yield economic goods, but they can promote the growth of more useful plants
and have potential for reclamation of nutrient poor soils. |
