Himalayan fir(Abies spectabilis)forests are widely distributed at the high elevation/temperate vegetation zone forming the upper timberline in Himalayas.A.spectabilis forests growing at upper timberline are highly sensitive to climate change,and thus have great potentiality in dendroclimatology.Tree growth at upper timberline is limited by either low temperature or very low moisture availability.
