The biological spectrum of Lal Dhang Forest Range of Lansdowne Forest Division in Garhwal Himalaya reveals that the vegetation of this region is phanero-therophytic. The life forms observed are phanerophytes (42.1%), therophytes (37%), chamaephytes (11.6%), cryptophytes (7.4%), and hemicryptophytes (1.9%). The percentage of therophyte is higher in comparison to Raunkiaer’s normal spectrum. The higher percentage of therophytes was due to the biotic disturbances, particularly due to human interference.
