The present study is based on the examination of quantitative vegetation description of moist temperate conifer forests of Himalayan region of Pakistan. Forty one stands at five different locations from Himalayan Region of Pakistan were chosen for the study. The underlying group in the vegetation was exposed using Ward's cluster analysis. The three groups derived from cluster analysis were superimposed on principal component analysis (PCA) ordination axes. Three main groups were clearly separated out on ordination plane (axis I and 2) Group-I was dominated by Pinus wallichiana stands; group-II was dominated by Abies pindrow while group-III was composed of Cedrus deodara dominating stands. The relationships between environmental factors and vegetation were examined.
