How:

In the last few decades, natural disturbances and human activities intensified the negative impact on the forest cover on a global scale. The impact of climate change on species distribution and structure, population dynamics, and growing conditions are more prominent now than ever before. To understand the impact of these extreme climate events on the forests, the tree growth resilience approach has been used significantly. This concept has been widely adopted in tree ring studies to analyze the ability of certain tree species to retain pre-disturbance growth levels after the disturbances. Forest is a long-lived ecosystem providing essential services and the productivity and these services are influenced by the climatic and non-climatic conditions the assessment of these influencing factors can help for better forest management. This study aims to reconstruct the past climate conditions and investigate the impact on the growth resilience of Pinus roxburghii in the lesser Himalayan region in Pakistan at different elevations on a temporal scale. The dendrochronological data generated from the study will assist in scientific efforts to further understand the ecological role of temperature, precipitation, and fire to imply better sustainable management practices and growth dynamics of the Pinus roxburghii forest. The future climate trend and the impact on tree growth outcomes, if used by forest managers, will be very helpful to improve the productivity of the forest.
