| Abstract | An investigation of the riparian vegetation along the Sherichhu River, lower montane area of Eastern Bhutan wasconducted from April to December 2015 to explore the plant communities in terms of species composition. A total number of18 plots were placed within the remnant patches of the vegetation on either side of the river. In total, 172 species of vascularplant has been recorded. The cluster analysis suggested four types of plant communities in the study area viz., the MallotusDesmodium-Rhusshrubland and the Syzygium venosum woodland communities, which are located in V-shaped valleys andthe Albizia-Flueggea woodland and Quercus glauca woodland communities located in U-shaped valleys. In broad-spectrum,the topographic features and environmental variables i.e. litter accumulation and flooding condition might also have someimpact on the species composition of the plant communities of this vegetation. |
