Host tree utilization by epiphytic orchids in different land-use intensities in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal

2012-09-01

Abstract excerpt

We studied the influence of site conditions on epiphytic orchids under a subtropical climate in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. We analysed 96 systematically distributed grid points situated in Kathmandu Valley across a land-use intensity gradient (national park to urbanised city area). Geographical Information System (GIS) and remote sensing were used for classification of land-use types. We identified 23 species of...
