Abstract:
During this research, we created a forest database for the Kiliki fir forest (diameters – heights – wood productivity) in the fir forest in the Slunfeh area of the Latakia governorate during the years 2021-2022 using traditional inventory, which will allow those in charge of the forestry process to preconceived for any organization and management plan of these forest groups.The results showed that the average diameter at breast height of the samples was 38.9 cm and the average height was 15.1 m, The average base area was 107,426 m2/ha, While the average value of the wood productivity was 846 m3/ha, with an average density of 798 trees/ha.And the superiority of the northwest slope over the rest of the slopes In terms of the values of the base area and wood productivity, Where the value of the average base area was 143.2 m2 / ha, The average wood productivity was 1131.4 m3/ha, While the eastern slope achieved the lowest values in terms of the average base area was 56.4 m2/ ha, and the average wood productivity was 431.8 m3/ ha. The measured trees were distributed according to their diameters within 5 rows with a range of approximately (10 cm) between one row and the other. The coefficient of determination R2 for the Parable model is about (0.5-0.7) which is a good value, This means that the used model can explain about (50-70)% of the changes
in the height values computed on the basis of the values of diameter over breast height at a significant level of 5%.
