Abstract

The vegetation and other landuses of Kathgodam to Okhalkanda area in the hilly part of Naini Tal district (Kumaun Himalaya) were studied through aerial photo-analysis. Out of a total area of 44862 ha, 40.1 % was under non-forest landuse and 59.9% was devoted to forest landuse. Forests with crown density > 40% were recorded in 10.3% of the total study area and only 1.6 % land had forests with > 60 % crown density.
