This research aimed to study the natural regeneration of Pinus brutia in Qurdaha region, and to determine the most important factors affecting the regeneration. 42 circular samples were taken, the area of each sample was 400m2. The following measurements were taken: geographic coordinates of each sample's centre, altitude, aspect, the slope, forest litter thickness, the proportion of gravels, stones and rocks, tree, bushes and herb cover. Forest inventories were achieved using Braun-Blanquet method. Which, the number of sample seedlings, the seedling height, seedling diameter, the seedling age, burning trees and alive trees of Pinus brutia were registered. The results showed a significant negative effect of slope and a significant positive effect of herb cover, where the percentage of data classification by the model was reached 74.4%, while the Nagelkerke R2value was 37%. The negative effect of the slope comes from increasing the risks of soil erosion and the loss in their nutritional elements. In contrast, the positive effect of herbal coverage is the contribution to reducing the risks of summer drought that can be affect the seedlings.

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.
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.
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 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.
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.
