Growth and Productivity of Maritime Pine and Brutia Pine at the Cool-Humid Bioclimate Zone in the Mid Altitudes of the Syrian Coastal Mountains

This research was aimed at evaluation of growth and productivity of two pine species; namely, Maritime Pine Pinus pinaster Sol. and Brutia Pine P. brutia Ten. at the Cool-Humid Bioclimate Zone in the Mid Altitudes of the Coastal Mountain Ranges. The study revealed that, height growth was not significant between the two species. Although average diameter at breast height was significantly superior in Brutia pine to that of Maritime pine, this was not reflected on productivity of trees, wood volume, or the annual growth rate due to great differences in growth forms of the two species.
