This study aims to investigate the abilities of two tree species (Pinus brutia and Cupressus sempervirens) planted in Banias Refinery Company to absorb and accumulate lead and zinc basically emitted by the Refinery. Samples of the planted species (leaves, bark, and wood) and soil from around the plants were collected and analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The results did not show significant pollution with these two elements. Moreover, there were not any significant differences between the two species in terms of the accumulation of Pb and Zn. While the Pb concentrations ranged between (24.96-30.84 ppm) for P. brutia and (24.05-30.23 ppm) for C. sempervirens, the Zn concentrations ranged between (34.99-82.99 ppm) for P. brutia, (18.11-59.86 ppm) for C. sempervirens. It was also revealed that P. brutia bark accumulated Pb more than the other parts, whereas C. sempervirens leaves accumulated Zn more than the other parts.

The effect of salinity and the treatment with fungicide on seed germination of Cupressus sempervirens L. was investigated. Five concentrations of salinity (0, 0.5, 1, 5 and 10%) were used. One part of the seeds was treated with fungicides (Benomyl ), while the other part was germinated without fungicide treatment. The results showed that seed germination was reduced by salinity, but the reduction was more pronounced without fungicide and with salt concentration, the seeds didn't germinate at 5 and 10% NaCl. Despite the decrease of germination indices with the increase of salt concentrations, the statistical results didn't show significant differences in salinity concentrations and the control in germination speed without fungicide, but they were significant with the fungicide. The statistical results showed significant differences between the presence and absence of fungicide in all treatments
Pinus brutia cover 67.87% of AlFronloq protected area, this forest provide habitat for wildlife especially forest birds. The aim of this study is to define bird species that use Pinus brutia forest and their relation to vegetation characteristics.W e listed 63 bird species, 9 of them recorded for first time, 31.8% of species are resident in study area, where raptors presented 15.9%. The study showed positive correlation between species richness and plant richness (R=0.588, P= 0.007). Shrubs layer coverage and richness affected positively bird species richness and density. The study showed also decreasing of bird species richness with Altitude, while raptors richness were increased with Altitude.The dominat species were Coal tit Parus ater, wren Troglodytes troglodytes ,whereas species like Chaffinch Fringilla coelebs, chiffchaff Phylloscopus collybita were the most abundant.
Estimation of tree and stand volume is a key calculation for productive forest management (de Miguel et al., 2012). A precise estimation of tree volume needs to take the variation in bole forms into account while calculation, this can be done by es timating tree form factor. This study aims to construct a mathematical model to calculate the form factor of brutia pine trees grown in the regions of Rabiaa in northern Latakia. The form factor model can help foresters to precisely estimate the volume of tree and forest stands. During the period 2008-2011, 72 pine trees of various ages and sizes, located in natural stands of different densities and site qualities, were felled. Diameters at different heights of the felled trees were measured; trees volumes and volumes of equivalent cylinders were calculated, and consequently the values of tree form factor were computed. The dataset was randomly split into two parts, 75% (55 trees) of the data for constructing form factor model and 25% (17 trees) for model validation. A form factor model was obtained using the non-linear regression equations in the statistical program SPSS. Value of the coefficient of determination adjusted (R²adj) was about 0.81. The model has been validated using several statistical methods, the relative bias ( e%) was ca. 17.9%, while the value of model accuracy ) % x m ) was 22.9 %. 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 pine in Syria.
This research aimed to investigate the competitive situation and the growth reduction as a result of competition for brutia pine trees grown in Kafardabeel stand – Jableh. In the year 2015, 15 circle plots (with area size of 400 m²) in the study a rea planted in 1974 were sampled; all variations in the site like tree density, aspect, slop, topography and site fertility were covered. In the sample plot diameter at breast height of all trees and also coordinates of central tree and coordinates of all compotators as well as were measured. In order to study the competitive situation, two different types of competition indices: position dependent (Heygi1, Heygi2, BAL) and position independent (CCF) indices were used.
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.
