Critical review
دراسة نقدية: تعتبر هذه الدراسة خطوة مهمة في فهم التنوع البيولوجي في غابات الصنوبر البروتي في سوريا، إلا أن هناك بعض النقاط التي يمكن تحسينها. أولاً، يمكن توسيع نطاق الدراسة لتشمل مواسم مختلفة من السنة لضمان شمولية النتائج. ثانيًا، قد يكون من المفيد استخدام تقنيات حديثة مثل التصوير الجوي أو الأقمار الصناعية لتحليل الغطاء النباتي بشكل أكثر دقة. ثالثًا، يمكن تعزيز الدراسة بمزيد من البيانات حول تأثير الأنشطة البشرية على التنوع البيولوجي في المنطقة. وأخيرًا، يمكن أن تكون هناك حاجة لمزيد من التعاون مع الباحثين الدوليين لتبادل الخبرات والمعرفة في هذا المجال.

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 was conducted in many natural sites in Al-Bayer and Al-Bassitregions inLattakiawhere there isthe main natural distribution of Brutia pine in Syria. The aim of the study is to analyse the relationship between the maincharacteristics of fo rest stands (forest mensuration) associated with silviculturetreatments, and plant diversity in the herbaceous layer of the forest. 32 circular plotsof 400 m2were sampled. Forest characteristics, plant species number and abundance(using Braun-Planquetindices)were recordedin each plot. Many diversity indices (SpeciesRichness, Shannon, Jaccard) were calculated. Species richness in the herbaceous layer correlated positively with age and negatively with volume, basal area, and forest cover in the over story. The effect of forest characteristics was more important on the vegetation composition than on the species richnessor Shannon index averages in the samples. Age was the most important characteristic influencing the vegetation composition, hence, the similarity between different age stages (expressed in Jaccard index). It is suggested in this study that when studying forest silviculture and management plans and when conserving biodiversity, life formsand functions must be considered instead ofthe traditional index.
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.
The importance of this modern technology (remote sensing) follows from the fact that it allows estimating the wood stock by knowing the value of the NDVI index, which reduces the high cost and great effort needed by traditional forestry measurements.
