Diversity of plants on reclaimed surface mine areas of rock phosphate mines at Maldeota (18 km from Dehra Dun) has been evaluated. Results of the study shows that diversity of plants has increased significantly after 4 years of reclamation and is even higher than the adjoining natural areas as well as lower and upper Himalayan moist temperate forest (sub-group 12 Cl and 12 C2).
