Silvicultural characteristics and natural regeneration of Pinus brutia Ten. – a review

Understanding long-term post-fire regeneration of a fire-resistant pine species

“…a Seed rain, b germination and c mortality. Euclidean distance resemblance matrix was used mortality and density) can be found in the literature (Miller and Cummins 1982;Boydak 2004;Neeman et al 2004). This is the first study carried out on P. canariensis including all of them, giving a more complete picture of the dynamics of its forest regeneration.…”

Effects of carbon and nitrogen content on seed germination of calabrian pine (Pinus brutia) populations

“…It usually grows in pure stands and is also a valuable source of timber production. In addition, it provides soil stabilization and serves as a wildlife habitat (Boydak 2004). Among native forest-tree species, it shows the highest distribution area, accounting for 27% of Turkey's total forest area (5.9 million hectares) (Anonymous 2012).…”

Genetic Comparison of Pinus brutia Ten. Populations from Different Elevations by RAPD Markers

“…Turkish red pine is one of the most important forest tree species in the region, from both an economical and ecological point of view. It provides timber resources, and is used widely in afforestation and reforestation programs (Boydak, 2004;Isik, 1986). The species normally forms pure stands from sea level up to 1200 m, and thrives sporadically up to 1500 m on the Taurus Mountains along the Mediterranean Sea in the South, and up to 600 m in the North.…”

“…The species normally forms pure stands from sea level up to 1200 m, and thrives sporadically up to 1500 m on the Taurus Mountains along the Mediterranean Sea in the South, and up to 600 m in the North. Natural stands are found on an extremely wide range of soil types and under a variety of climatic conditions, with significant amount of genetic variation in various form and growth characteristics (Arbez, 1974;Boydak, 2004;Kandemir et al, 2004).…”
