The site was planted between 1960-1962 year with area size of 33 ha. The plots were
systematically sampled with area size of 400 m2. The distance between plots was 100 m.
Results showed that: trees number per hectare (N), stand average diameter (db
h) and
height (H), basal area (G), productivity (V) and average annual growth (A.A.G) were: 237
tree/ha, 34.68 cm, 12 m, 21.91 m2/ha, 137.51 m3/ha and 2.64 m3/ha/year ; respectively.
Stand height curve was developed with coefficient of determination of R2=0.50.
During the last twenty years there was an increased interest to large extent in
crowing up the fruitful trees all over the world. That is a natural result of knowing its high
feeding value beside its being good source for income. Due to its economical importance,
there was variety of searches and studies which approached its farming.
This research aimed to evaluate the growth and productivity of planted Pinus pinea
in pure stands at "DAHR AL SORANI" forest site. The site is about 50 km north east of
Tartous city, which is located in Temperate-Humid Bioclimate Zone.
Results sho
wed that the stands were not equivalent in growth indicators; this was due
to many factors affecting growth like site characteristics and trees density…etc. In spite of
the mediocre values of form factor, the volume and mean of annual increment was not
influenced.
Results revealed that the mean values of tree density was 851 trees/ha and ranged
between 350 - 1975 trees/ha, woody volume was averaged at 116.337 m3/ha and
ranged between 51.6519 - 215.3635 m3/ha; annual increment had also an average of 4.4548
m3/ha/year and ranged between 1.9866 - 7.9764 m3/ha/year.
The study showed a high straightness of pine. Pinus pinea trees had very rarely
forked boles.
This research aimed to determine the relationship between diameter and
size of Pinus trees available in 4 different regions in Swieda province. Breast
height diameter and height of tree were measured for more than 500 Pinus
Pinea trees. The relati
onship between diameter and size was studied, and a
model of diameter and size was developed as a polynomial model .
This study was carried out at three different forest sites in Syria in order to
determine the effect of changing rainfall, temperature and soil on kernel
productivity of stone pine (Pinus pinea L.)> these sites included: Jabal Alnabi
Mata, (Tartou
s province, L1), Dahr Alkhoser (Homs province, L2) and E′en
Jron site (Idleb province, L3). Results showed that kernel productivity of stone
pine per tree was 236.3, 252.8, 143 g per tree, and 177, 162.3, and 86.98 kg per
hectare in L1, L2, and L3, respectively. These differences were attributed due
to the variation in the composition, textured and fertility of the soil available in
the three locations studied. It was concluded that trees of stone pine grow better
and superior in Kernel productivity in humid and super-humid bioclimatic
zone.
Seeds of Pinus pinea L .were collected from AL Kusaibia site near Aleppo
(altitude ٢٩٥m) and from AL Bustan site near Mesiaf (altitude ٨٠٠m). which
have different ecological conditions in order to recommend the best optimal
treatment for breaking
the coat dormancy stage of seeds pre-sowing in both
sites. Six different methods of treatment suchas, mechanical treatment,
treatment with boiling water, treatment with light sucher acid (H٢SO٤) for ١٥,
٣٠, ٤٥ minutes, and with normal water for ٢٤ hours. were applied to break the
coat dormancy of ٦٠٠ seeds in each sites.
