Abstract
Out of total Pothwar area (1.82m.h.) about 1.21m.h. are classified as gullied lands. The unfavorable site factors i.e. shortage of moisture and plant nutrients, in these gullied lands are challenging for a desirable land management practices. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the potential capabilities of the gullied land for establishment of tree plantations and also to test the adoptability/ suitability of some tree species. Four tree species (Leucaena leucocephala, Euclayptus camaldulensis, Morus alba and Ailanthus altissima) were tested during the year 1983-84 at Mangial (Fateh-Jang) under rain fed conditions. The survival percentage was 86, 88, 73 and 77 whereas mean monthly growth (height) attained was 18cm, 16cm and 4cm respectively.
