This study aims to construct a mathematical model to calculate the form factor of
Palestine Oak Maquis grown on the eastern versants of coastal mountains. The form factor
model can help foresters to precisely estimate the volume of tree and forest
stands.
In the year 2014, 129 oak shoots of various ages and sizes, located in natural stands
of different densities and site qualities covering all conditions of region grown on, were
felled.
Diameters at different heights of the felled shoots were measured; shoots volumes
and volumes of equivalent cylinders were calculated, and consequently the values of shoot
form factor were computed. The dataset was randomly split into two parts, 70% (90
shoots) of the data for constructing form factor model and 30% (39 trees) for model
validation.
Several form factor models were developed using the non-linear regression equations
in the statistical program SPSS. Best fit to the data was selected and value of the
coefficient of determination adjusted (R²adj) was about 0.77. The model has been validated
using several statistical methods, the relative bias of the best model ( e%) was ca. -3.6 %,
while the value of model accuracy ) % x m ) was 15%. 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 oak Maquis in Syria.
This research aims to test some equations, used in different regions and forest types,
for assessing the total height of shoots in the oak )Quercuscalliprinos) Maquis forests,
depending on diameter,which enable the estimation of volumes without mea
suringthe
height of these shoots. This is very important to saveefforts, time and moneyinvested by
foresters.
The study included102 samples distributed within the most important oak forests on
the eastern exposition of the coastal mountains. The plots have rectangular shape with 50
shoots at least. The plots vary in shoot density, soil fertility and Maquiage. In each sample
we measured the diameter at a height of 30 cm, the total height of (10-20) shoots of various
diameters (low-medium-dominant).
The Studay was aimed at surveying the plant species growing in Al
Qunaitera region, their dynamic distribution, environmental characteristics
and economic values.
Atotale number of 268 species were found belonging to 170 genera at 46
families.
Only two of the founded species weren’t reported by Mouterde in his flora
of Syria.
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 examine the extent of disclosure in the annual
reports of Syrian private banks for the financial year 2015.
The level and extent of disclosure was examined by applying the
disclosure index on the annual reports.
Four dependent
variable (size, profitability, financial leverage and
allowance) were examined to know their effect and relationship
with the level of disclosure.
