- •
Efficiency of phytolith indices (Ic, Iph and Fs) were tested in eastern Himalayas.
- •
Ic can discriminate C3/C4 grasses most effectively along the elevation gradient.
- •
Iph and Fs proved to be less reliable in high altitudes of the eastern Himalayas.
- •
In wet eastern Himalayas Ic must include plateau saddles to improve their efficacy.
