The present study was undertaken to assess the regeneration pattern, tree diversity and qualitative characters of forests in the Tarai-Bhabhar belt of Kumaun Central Himalaya, India locatead between latitude 290 25’ to 290 40’ N and 780 45’ to 790 5’ E longitude and between an altitudinal transect of 200-800 m. The total tree density varied from 4.3 trees/100 m2 to 11.2 trees/100 m2 and the tree diversity from 0 to 2.18. Absence of young regeneration of all the important dominant species showed the inability of these forests to produce progenies due to repeated burning by the U.P. State Forest Department and severe biotic pressure, by both wild and domestic animals.
