Studying the growth and productivity of stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) Plantations in Daher khoraibat forest site -Snoubar Jableh – province Lattakia


Abstract in English

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 (dbh) 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.
