Description Biodiversity surveys were conducted in 13, 10�50 m2 plots located between 1400 to 3700 m above mean sea level in a range of
habitats in temperate mixed Oak and Coniferous forests through sub-alpine to the alpine grasslands in Chamoli district of Uttaranchal
state in the Indian Garhwal Himalaya. Cross-taxon congruence in biodiversity (a-diversity and b-diversity) across macrolichens,
mosses, liverworts, woody plants (shrubs and trees) and ants was investigated, so as to examine the extent to which these
groups of organisms can function as surrogates for each other. Although woody plants provided a major substrate for macrolichens
and mosses, there was no species-specific association between them. Woody plant species richness was highly positively correlated
with mosses (r2=0.63, P
