Abstract

A quantitative ecological survey was carried out at 17 locations near the road side on the Great Silk Road from Gilgit to Passu. Ephedra gerardiana was ecologically similar Artemisia scoparia while Haloxylon thomsinii showed similar relationship Caparis spinosa . Six communities have been recognized on the basis of species dominance, importance values and similarity coefficient. In most cases the co- dominant species of one community type was also prominent in other communities indicatiing similarities between some communities in their species composition. In general communities were homogeneous.
