Abstract: The relationship between regional climate and tree growth is not well understood in case of Himalayan conifers. In order to understand the response of trees to regional climate along an elevational gradient, tree ring chronologies of Abies pindrow are built at four elevational sites. The trees from different elevational sites respond differently to the local climatic variables. The positive correlation between growing season temperature and tree growth at low elevation site weakens with increasing elevation. The response to monthly precipitation also varies with increasing elevation. The response has changed in time as well in response to recent climate change. Also, different features of site chronologies like mean sensitivity, mean ring width, inter-series correlation etc. vary significantly with increasing elevation. This differential response of Abies pindrow to local climatic variables helps to understand the sensitivity of tree growth to climate at different elevations in a mountain system.
