An elementary investigation of stone pine (Pinus pinea) stand in Chamestan Research Station

Exotic conifers species area desirable point of view and particular characteristis have been planted in wide areas of Iran to test adaptability vigur many years ago. There is a small stone pine (Pinus pinea) stand with 14 years old seeding in 4 * 4 m spacing in Chamestan research station. Stone pine standʹs d.b.h., total height, pruning height factors were measured and analyzed with climatology and ecology information in 1997. The results are as follows: Average diameter at breast height is 16.75 cm and total height 5.7 m and average volume per hectare is 35.66 cubic meter. Average growth in diameter (D.B.H) is 12mm and height growth is 42 cm and growth in colume is 2.5 cubic meter. Pruning height is 84 cm and survival percentage of seedlings is %70. Regard to average growth, survival percentage and adaptation of stone pine species we command the afforestation of this species in sandy soil near coastal in north of Iran.
