The present volume is an attempt to unravel the mystifying phenomenaof Himalayan Ecology. As a holistic science, Ecology has emerged as adiscipline. Himalayan ecology is, however, struggling to create itsniche as a sub-discipline, and as the 'erosion syndrome' over theHimalaya gathers storm, this theme will increasingly catch the attentionof the decision makers. Made up of complex eco-systems, the Himalayanecosphere has eluded the grasp of scientists bound with amonodisciplinary approach.
