Abies spectabilis (D. Don) is an ecologically and medicinally important conifer of subalpine areas of the Himalayan region. It is a multipurpose conifer species that provides fuelwood, timber, nontimber forest produce, and varied ecological functions. It is well known for its medicinal properties and is commonly used in the Indian system of medicine, especially in the Ayurvedic system for preparing different formulations to cure various human ailments. The natural regeneration is much less (<10%) due to varied reasons, viz., accumulation of heavy humus in natural forests, emptiness of seeds, the incidence of forest fire, and trampling by live stocks to the newly recruited seedlings in natural forests. It is one of the important keystones and threatened species that needs to be conserved in the Himalayan region. Based on the above facts, a detailed study was carried out by ICFRE- HFRI, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, to identify the natural populations in various parts of the state and also to identify the factors responsible for poor seed germination, germination behavior, maturity indices, and seed storability behavior so that further work on the development of nursery practices for conservation can be initiated accordingly. This will help policymakers and forest managers in strategizing and suggesting management practices for its conservation in the Himalayan region.
