“…Distinguished on the basis of the conical crown shape, Cedrus libani, the species among Mediterranean cedars with the largest but segmented geographic range (Browicz 1982;Boydak 2002), was divided into subsp. libani, known from Lebanon mountain ranges and subsp.…”

The main aim of the present study was testing the value of the morphological and anatomical characteristics of the needles in distinguishing Cedrus atlantica, C. libani and C. brevifolia. Nine populations were sampled in their natural habit and 25 characters were used to describe the variation of the brachyblast needles and to analyze the differences between species. The results indicated that morphological and anatomical needle characters provide valuable tools in discrimination of the taxa. The scored differences were statistically significant, as revealed in the Tukey's t test, discrimination analysis and hierarchical analysis of variation. The results support treating C. libani, C. atlantica and C. brevifolia as independent species.

“…All of these conclusions remain tentative and must await the laboratory results of scores of geomorphic trench samples. Even the results obtained to date, however, demonstrate the degree to which a combination of geoarchaeological and paleo-environmental procedures help to articulate the form, scale, and duration of Cilician resource 31 Recent studies indicate that cedar forests, once eroded, are very slow to regenerate (Boydak 2003). The Turkish Forestry Service recently established effective legislation to conserve native cedar forests.…”

“…Most previous work has emphasized seedling planting. Improved seedling survival has been tested through nursery seed sowing time and depth [10], drought preconditioning of seedlings [11,12], water supplements [13], and use of appropriate containers [14,15].…”

“…Most direct seeding in the United States today is limited to wildfire-decimated tracts, but the technique has been used to regenerate deforested areas in the southern part of that country with southern pines [16]. Lebanon cedar was restored to bare karstic lands in Turkey using large-scale broadcast seeding that mimicked natural processes [11,17]. High germination rates have been reported for stone pine [18], and Takos and Merou [19] achieved up to 80% germination for Lebanon cedar seeds after proper storage and treatment.…”

Abstract:Lebanon's Ministry of Environment initiated a project in 2009 to determine low-cost reforestation techniques for stone pine (Pinus pinea) and Lebanon cedar (Cedrus libani) for large-scale land rehabilitation activities in the arid Middle East. Irrigation (several techniques vs. no water), planting (8-to 18-month-old seedlings), seeding, and soil preparation methods were evaluated in three sets of adaptive management field trials. The aim was to reduce reforestation costs while still achieving sufficient regeneration. A key result for management was that non-irrigated seed planting of stone pine and possibly of Lebanon cedar showed promise for cost-effective reforestation and could be competitive with seedlings, given correct seed source and planting conditions. Stone pine seeds collected from nearby mother trees and planted without irrigation on sandy soil showed 35% survival for <600 USD/ha; seedlings planted without irrigation cost about 2500 USD/ha and achieved 50-70% survival (costs based on 800 seedlings/ha). Water supplements increased establishment costs over 2 years without concomitant improvements to survival. Future studies should evaluate how soil texture and soil preparation interact with other factors to affect seed germination and survival for each species.
