Analytical study of the relationship between height and diameter of Pinus brutia trees in the Damascus city

Abstract

Diameter, height indicators generally important parameters in forestry measurements.

The importance of these parameters is considered in cases such as the determination of the trunk shape and based-area and volume and the wood reserve of stand forest and the relationship between the parameters is also evaluated.

Forest mensuration through the application of statistical and mathematical procedures on the forest, developed very important mathematical formal relationship in the growth and development of the forest, through which determination of hard measuring parameters (indicator) can be achieved by an easy, measured one.

Our study emphasized on the relationship between height and diameter of Pinus brutia trees in Damascus city we developed an equation through which the height of trees can be calculated by their diameter.

This is very important if we considered that measuring the height of trees requires suitable measuring equipment and experience, in addition of the long time require for measuring the height of trees inside (with in) the forest.
