Himalayan subtropical pine forests
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Himalayan subtropical pine forests are a subtropical coniferous forest ecoregion covering portions of Bhutan, India, Nepal, and Pakistan.
The ecoregion extends across the lower elevations of the great Himalaya range, from Pakistan's Punjab Province in the west through Pakistan administered Azad Kashmir, the Indian states of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, Nepal, the Indian state of Sikkim, to Bhutan in the east.
The predominant tree in the ecoregion is the drought-resistant Chir Pine (Pinus roxburghii).
