To determine the present species composition and diversity in dry temperate forest ecosystem, especially trees, shrubs, ground cover, birds, reptiles and mammals.The vegetation composition and diversity of dry-temperate forest in Kumrat valley was determined through employing the 20x20 m (0.4 ha) quadrant method.In addition, fauna species were detected through direct visual observations.A total of 100 quadrant plots were randomly selected to determine the vegetation composition and diversity from July, 2017 to August, 2018.A total of 7 tree species, 3 shrubs, and 12 grass species were identified, which were attracted into the study area.The highest tree density was -1 -1 determined for P. wallichiana (3.375 tree ha ) and the lowest one for J. regia (0.300 tree ha ).CAP tests indicated that the diversity indices, i.e., Shannon-Winner's Diversity Index (H =2.908+0.161),Margalef's Richness Index (R =3.26+0.112)and McIntosh Evenness Index (E=0.9746+0.0206)occured in Birds, Food resources, Mammals, Reptiles, Species diversity Species composition of dry-temperate forest as an important habitat for wildlife fauna species
