Several researches related to dendrochronological field are carried out in Nepal. Silvicultural characteristics,
distribution, associated species, climatic response of the species are very essential to understand the nature of species
before conducting dendrochronological research. The objective of this research is to assess the dendrochronological
potentiality of the major tree species so far studied in Nepal. For this, we have used Google engine to search published
articles through March 2020 and listed out the name of the species used so far for the dendrochronological studies
in Nepal. We were able to record the species Abies pindrow, Abies spectabilis, Betula utilis, Cedrus deodara, Cupressus
torulosa, Larix potaninii, Picea smithiana, Pinus roxburghii, Pinus wallichiana, Rhodendendron campanulatum, Tsuga dumusa
and Ulmus wallichiana from the published.. View More»
