Chilgoza pine (Pinus gerardiana Wall.) is an important ecological and economic species having a restricted distribution in World. It is very much restricted in dry temperate region of North-Western Himalaya. There are large numbers of biotic and abiotic factors affecting it and lack of regeneration in this pine may result in the extinction of the species. Young/middle age classes are scarce or entirely lacking, the mature and over mature trees predominate in its natural zones. Phytosociological study shows the high endemism of the Pinus gerardiana species in its natural zone. Overall more than 60% of the area was covered by this species and rest by other species. Therefore, the productivity and sustainability of chilgoza pine has to be ensured. This book covers details of Pinus gerardiana, its ecological status, regeneration constraints and propagation techniques for enhancing afforestation in Himalaya. This book contain valuable information for researcher, forest managers and students those are involved in working on this species.
