Abstract

The present investigation “Variations in tree parameters of Pinus wallichiana in different geographical coordinates of District Ganderbal” was carried out during the years 2022-23 and 2023-24 to study the effect of location on Pinus wallichiana height and DBH that will provide base as genetic makeup of superior plants can be propagated easily on vast programme. The tree height ranged from 15.2 m to 28.9 m. Height was recorded maximum (28.9 m) for tree (T3), followed by (27.3 cm) tree (T1) while as minimum height (15.2 cm) was recorded for tree (T5). DBH of trees ranged between 18.3 cm to 47.7 cm. DBH was recorded maximum (47.7 cm) for tree (T3), followed by (42.2 cm) tree (T1), whereas the minimum DBH (18.3 cm) was recorded for tree (T5). Tree height was measured for eighteen randomly selected trees and it ranged from 15.2 m to 28.9 m, highest (28.9 m) being recorded for the tree (T3) selected from Akhal. Also, the range of DBH among the selected trees was from 18.3 cm to 47.7, the maximum (47.7 cm) being recorded for the tree (T3) of Akhal

Conclusion

The current study is the first of its kind about the tree parameters and geographical coordinates of Pinus wallichiana in district Ganderbal. The tree height ranged from 15.2 m to 28.9 m. Height was recorded maximum (28.9 m) for tree (T3), followed by (27.3 cm) tree (T1) while as minimum height (15.2 cm) was recorded for tree (T5). DBH of trees ranged between 18.3 cm to 47.7 cm. DBH was recorded maximum (47.7 cm) for tree (T3), followed by (42.2 cm) tree (T1), whereas the minimum DBH (18.3 cm) was recorded for tree (T5). Tree height was measured for eighteen randomly selected trees and it ranged from 15.2 m to 28.9 m, highest (28.9 m) being recorded for the tree (T3) selected from Akhal. Also, the range of DBH among the selected trees was from 18.3 cm to 47.7, the maximum (47.7 cm) being recorded for the tree (T3) of Akhal Fig. 2
