The species belonging to temperate forests are Deodar, Cedar, Pine, Fir and Hazel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subtropical forests:<\/strong> They are constrained to the lower slopes of the Middle Himalayas and the Shivalik range of Kashmir. Teak, Shisham, Sal, and Peepal are the dominant species in these subtropical forests.<\/p>\n\n\n
