Abstract
The present study reports the dendroseismological potential of pine tree species including Pinus wallichiana, Picea smithiana, Abies pindrow, Pinus roxburghii, Cedrus deodara. A total of 261 cores from 213 trees were sampled from different areas of Azad Jammu and Kashmir. These samples were processed following the standard dendrochronological techniques described by Stockes & Smiley (1965). The preliminary results revealed that these tree samples exhibit great age and show sensitivity to the environment. These are preliminary results which would be helpful to determine the dendroseismological potential of these trees and sites of the study area.
