This research was aimed at evaluation of growth and productivity of two
pine species; namely, Maritime Pine Pinus pinaster Sol. and Brutia Pine P.
brutia Ten. at the Cool-Humid Bioclimate Zone in the Mid Altitudes of the
Coastal Mountain Ranges. T
he study revealed that, height growth was not
significant between the two species. Although average diameter at breast
height was significantly superior in Brutia pine to that of Maritime pine, this
was not reflected on productivity of trees, wood volume, or the annual growth
rate due to great differences in growth forms of the two species.
