تتبع أهمية هذه التقانة الحديثة ( الاستشعار عن بعد ) من كونها تسمح بتقدير المخزون الخشبي من خلال معرفة فيمة مؤشر الـ NDVI , مما يقلل من التكلفة العالية والجهد الكبير التي تحتاج إليها القياسات الحراجية التقليدية .
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.

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 measur
ements 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
