This research was carried out in five sites varied in altitude representing Mediterranean vegetation zones of western slopes of Lattakia Mountains during 2010 - 2011 on Quercus infectoria Oliv species. Research shows that significant difference of altitude above sea level has obvious effect on seed germination in different sites. This is noticed in characteristics related to fruit weight, germination rate value sum, and height of vegetal and rooty seedling after four months of germination. Altitude above sea level has no effect on the branchlet number of rooty and vegetal sum height of seedlings as well as mean of leaves number of seedlings. According to germination ratio and daily germination ratio, in addition to seedling diameter, there is harmony among all sites. It can be deduced that there are changes in growth traits of studied seedlings in different sites. This is the primary indication of the impact of the altitude above sea level on seedling traits of Quercus infectoria Oliv.

This research aims to test some equations, used in different regions and forest types, for assessing the total height of shoots in the oak )Quercuscalliprinos) Maquis forests, depending on diameter,which enable the estimation of volumes without mea suringthe height of these shoots. This is very important to saveefforts, time and moneyinvested by foresters. The study included102 samples distributed within the most important oak forests on the eastern exposition of the coastal mountains. The plots have rectangular shape with 50 shoots at least. The plots vary in shoot density, soil fertility and Maquiage. In each sample we measured the diameter at a height of 30 cm, the total height of (10-20) shoots of various diameters (low-medium-dominant).
This study aims to construct a mathematical model to calculate the form factor of Palestine Oak Maquis grown on the eastern versants of coastal mountains. The form factor model can help foresters to precisely estimate the volume of tree and forest stands. In the year 2014, 129 oak shoots of various ages and sizes, located in natural stands of different densities and site qualities covering all conditions of region grown on, were felled. Diameters at different heights of the felled shoots were measured; shoots volumes and volumes of equivalent cylinders were calculated, and consequently the values of shoot form factor were computed. The dataset was randomly split into two parts, 70% (90 shoots) of the data for constructing form factor model and 30% (39 trees) for model validation. Several form factor models were developed using the non-linear regression equations in the statistical program SPSS. Best fit to the data was selected and value of the coefficient of determination adjusted (R²adj) was about 0.77. The model has been validated using several statistical methods, the relative bias of the best model ( e%) was ca. -3.6 %, while the value of model accuracy ) % x m ) was 15%. In order to obtain lower value of model relative bias and higher value of accuracy, it’s recommended to use a larger database comprising all distribution areas of oak Maquis in Syria.
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of pepper (pipiemento variety), and eggplant (Dara variety) seed's treatment on germination characteristics, and the impact of eggplant seeds treatment on seedling quality. The seeds were treated for 24 hours in glass containers, in which the ratio of seeds to the applied media was 1:5, the concentration of the mineral solution was 0.1%, while the concentration of each of GA3 and the organic nutrient solution was 0.01%. The media were continuously aerated by passing a current of pure oxygen (O2), at sufficient pressure to homogenously mix the seeds in the media. The seeds were dried up after 24 hours of treatment to remove the excess moisture. Seeds were germinated in Petri dishes, and soil-full containers to assess the germinability, and seed vigor. The eggplant seeds were also sown in peat-moss containing pots (8 cm indiameter) to study the influence of treatment on seedling quality. The results showed that treatment efficiency depends on the nature of the used media, and crop. In addition, it has been revealed that the aeration of media enhanced the germination, accelerated the seedling growth, and improved their quality.
The research aims to study the possibility of using nondirect leveling to the paths of the earth to find the heights of ground traverses observatories within the works of the first phase of the topographic survey rather than direct leveling.
