Abstract

Litter fall and nutrient return was studied in four different age stands (11years, 8 yrs, 6 yrs & 4yrs old plantation) of Kiyarkuli catchment of Doon Valley of Garhwal Himalaya around Mussoorie hills(300 25’ to 300 30’ N lat. and 780 0’ to 780 5’ E long., 1700 to 1850 m above MSL). Maximum litter fall was estimated in Site I and minimum in Site IV. The trend of annual nutrient return was in order of Ca > N > K > Mg > P for all sites.
