Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This study aimed to estimate the forest sector losses in the north of\nLattakia Governorate, as a result of terrorist attacks during the Syrian\ncrisis, that started in March 2011. Three aerial photographs were used with\nspatial resolution ranged between 30 cm and 50 cm, for the years 2011, 2014 and\n2016. The visual interpretation technique was applied to identify the forest\ntypes in studied sites. The results showed that the forests occupied about 5022\nha, 12708 ha and 4387 ha in Qastal Maaf, Rabia, and Ain Eido, respectively in\n2011. These superficies decreased to 2581 ha, 3568 ha and 1010 ha respectively\nin 2016. The fires that occurred during the crisis period devoured about 5439\nha in 2014, and about 16077 ha in 2016, in addition to the forests that were\nslightly affected by the fires, which reached 4476 ha in 2016. In terms of the\nremaining forests and degraded forestry areas, which represents the main\nforestry areas in Lattakia in particular and in general in Syria, attained only\n21427 hectares, or 51% of what was in 2011, before the crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
