Abstract

The paper presents result of pollen-analytical investigation at two sites in the middle altitude on the northern face of Pir Panjal. One of the sites, Yus Maidan, is a vast meadow surrounded by fir-blue pine forest and the other, the Baba Rishi swamp, is situated within the blue pine fir forest. The pollen diagrams from Yus Maidan reveal the encroachment of the forest at the site in the recent past whereas Baba Rishi site has been forested even before the origin of the swamp. Further, the pollen diagrams show that oaks existed as constituents of the forest and have been exterminated recently.
