Country: Pakistan


Coordinate: 36° 52' N, 75° 2' E
Coordinate basis: stated in text as range

Geography comments: along the Karakorum Highway (KKH) within Khunjerab National Park (KNP)
ten reported altitude values span 3316 to 3743 m (value is the midpoint)

Environment
Habitat: temperate broadleaf/mixed forest

Protection: national/state park

Substrate: ground surface

MAT: 3.3

MAP: 69.0

Habitat comments: The forests along KKH are mainly composed of Salix spp, Myricaria elegans, Populus afghanica which are commonly distributed on the bottom of valley, and grass (mainly Ephedra intermedia) spread over the slopes, and bushes (Juniperus L., Rosa L.) sparsely grow both on the bottoms and on slopes of mountains
two cameras were in "forest", five in "bush", and three in "grass"
climate data are for Tashkurgan, at a similar altitude, and are from Xu et al. (2013, Quaternary Science Reviews)
