摘要
Dendrochronological potential of some gymnosperms was determined by dividing a study site into 9 stands. 76 samples of Abies pindrow with maximum age of 698 years having 149.3 cm diameter, 23 samples of Taxus baccata with maximum age of 479 years having 137.2 cm diameter, 4 samples of Pinus roxburghii with maximum age of 218 years having 19.2 inches diameter and 2 samples of Cedrus deodara were obtained. All species were crossdated successfully by Skeleton Plot Model. Among them, mean growth of A. pindrow was 0.05-0.27 cm per year while for T. baccata it was 0.15-0.24 cm per year. Moreover, regression analysis between age and dbh was (y = 0.0847x + 4.0756), (R-2 = 0.921) in 3rd stand and (y = 11.108x-41.174), (R-2 = 0.8424) in 2nd stand of A. pindrow and T. baccata respectively. The maximum value observed was in the 3rd stand of T. baccata species which showed better correlation as compared to the rest of the stands. Strong correlation was also observed between TRW and difference of earlywood and latewood cell mass in all species. A. pindrow showed maximum value as (y = 1.1397x + 0.1873), (R-2 = 0.9972).
