This study aimed to estimate the height of the Pinus brutia trees in Kafardabeel
forested area- Jableh. Eight mathematical forms (Michailoff, Prodan, Petterson, Parabel,
Korsun, Logarithmic, Freese, Chapman-Richards) were used.
In 2015, the diamet
er of 330 trees at breast height (dbh) were measured, and only
heights of 165 of them were taken. Measurements were carried out in 15 sample plots all
over the study area to cover site variations in altitude, exhibition, gradient and density.
Data were split into two parts: 116 tree (70%) were used for model constrction, while the
remaining trees 49 tree (30%) were used for model validation.
The Results showed that, Parabel had the highest value for the Coefficient of
Determination (R²=0.53) and the lowest value of the relative accuracy (mx%) (17.665%).
That means it was the the best model to calculate tree height using diameter at breast
height. This model can help foresters in forest management planning for study area and
similar sites.
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 .
