Abstract:
This research was carried out in Wata Al Rastin -Al Bahloulyia site – Lattakia for the year (2020-2022) to study the wood productivity of a pure forest of (cupressus sempervirens L.) at the age of 25 yr. The area of each plot was 400 m2. The following parameters were taken for each plot: tree number, diameter at breast height, crown width trees, and 15 trees height. A developed equations (for the year 2022) was applied, It was Previously reached by cutting down 8 of cypress trees in the same study area and estimated the form factor, the wood stock, and the biomass. The results showed that the mean form factor was 0.30, and the wood stock was 172.75 m3/ha with tree density 247 tree/ha . For the mean biomass, it amounted 403.30 ton/ha. The mean annual increment achieved value of 6.91 m3/ha/year and the base area 4.69 m2/ha.
Key words: Wood Productivity, Wood Stock, Biomass, cupressus sempervirens .
