Acdemia Arena 2010, Supplement 0201 http://www.sciencepub.net known as bio-indicators) are useful for defining and presenting the data those decision-makers requires. Bio-indicators can be used in ecological evolution, especially for communities indicating areas of conservation interest. Need of inventorying and monitoring lichens of Garhwal Himalayas Formulating proper methodology for documenting floristic diversity with ecological correlates is a prerequisite for inventorying periodical monitoring and conservation of bio resource. The study will attempt toi. The pattern of relative abundance of lichens ii. Document season of maximum lichen fall iii. List of tree species and their part harbouring maximum lichen in a lichen rich area iv. This information will be the first attempt to answer these basic queries and help in periodical monitoring, conservation and management of lichens v. Inventorying and monitoring the lichen diversity will be provide fundamental and essential biological information used by basic scientific disciplines (viz. ecology, population biology, behaviours and other fields of comparative biology) vi. Available information will provide a basis for the scientific research necessary to understanding the habitat in which rich lichen dry mass (from tree as well as fallen lichen mass) found (either on open or closed canopied site of the Q. semecarpifolia forest) vii. Define the current and future option available for alternate livelihood from the lichens. It will be help to guide immediate and long term management, policy and decision making strategies viii. Provide information necessary for sustainable management of natural resources (lichens). Help in identifying economically or commercially valuable lichens ix. Define the impact of human activities on lichen diversity so as to reduce undesirable effect in the environment x.
