Abstract

The dominant species of liverworts and mosses in eighteen diverse habitats of the Nainital hills (NW Himalaya) were studied for net production and standing crop. Maximal annual net production and mean annual biomass were found for Hymenostylium recurvirostrum of boundary walls. There was striking inter-spcies and intraspecies variation in biomass which appeared to be mainly under the control of climatic conditions in the natural habitat.
