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 relationship between diameter and size was studied, and a model of diameter and size was developed as a polynomial model .

Diameter, height and the trank shape indicators are generally important parameters in forestry measurements. The importance of these parameters is considered in cases such as the determination of tree volume and the wood reserve of stand forest an d the relationship between the two parameters is also evaluated. Forest Mensuration through the application of statistical and mathematical procedures on the forest, developed very important mathematical formulae and equations in the growth and development of the forest, through which detrmination of a hard measuring parameter (indicator) can be achieved by an easy measured one. Our study emphasized on the relationship between height and diameter of Quercus trees in the Goulan heights. We developed an equation through which the height of trees can be calculated by their diameter. This is very important if we considered that measuring the hieght of trees requires suitable measuring equipments and experience, in addition to the long time required for measuring the height of trees inside (within) the forest.
This research aimed to evaluate the growth and productivity of planted Pinus pinea in pure stands at "DAHR AL SORANI" forest site. The site is about 50 km north east of Tartous city, which is located in Temperate-Humid Bioclimate Zone. Results sho wed that the stands were not equivalent in growth indicators; this was due to many factors affecting growth like site characteristics and trees density…etc. In spite of the mediocre values of form factor, the volume and mean of annual increment was not influenced. Results revealed that the mean values of tree density was 851 trees/ha and ranged between 350 - 1975 trees/ha, woody volume was averaged at 116.337 m3/ha and ranged between 51.6519 - 215.3635 m3/ha; annual increment had also an average of 4.4548 m3/ha/year and ranged between 1.9866 - 7.9764 m3/ha/year. The study showed a high straightness of pine. Pinus pinea trees had very rarely forked boles.
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 (db h) 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.
The study was achieved in 2014-2015 at Dahr Khribat stone pine forest, Latakia. to determine the factors affecting the natural regeneration of the stand. The results of climate studies indicated that the region is located in the semi-wet climate fl oor with a mild winter as the average of rainfall thermal coefficient reached (Q2 = 72.01). The study showed that the low productivity of cones (20 kg con / tree) was one of the limiting factors of natural regeneration. The trees high density (462 tree / ha), led to a decrease in tree diameter at breast level (30 cm) and low coronary size (320.2 m3). Seed germination was not affected by illumination periods, while salinity levels led to a significant decrease in germination from 90% at control to 19% at 0.5 mol / l. All of one year old sapling or seedling were dead during summer months, while more than 90% of two years old cultivated sapling, survived in all treatments, but no significant differences among them.
This study was carried out at three different forest sites in Syria in order to determine the effect of changing rainfall, temperature and soil on kernel productivity of stone pine (Pinus pinea L.)> these sites included: Jabal Alnabi Mata, (Tartou s province, L1), Dahr Alkhoser (Homs province, L2) and E′en Jron site (Idleb province, L3). Results showed that kernel productivity of stone pine per tree was 236.3, 252.8, 143 g per tree, and 177, 162.3, and 86.98 kg per hectare in L1, L2, and L3, respectively. These differences were attributed due to the variation in the composition, textured and fertility of the soil available in the three locations studied. It was concluded that trees of stone pine grow better and superior in Kernel productivity in humid and super-humid bioclimatic zone.
