Distribution, Ecology and Variation of Pinus Brutia in Turkey. Arbez, M. Forest Genetic Resources, 3:07+, 1974.
abstract   bibtex   
[Excerpt] On the recommendation of the FAO Committee on the Coordination of Mediterranean Forestry Research, a mission was carried out to Turkey in the autumn of 1971. The primary purpose was to visit seed stands of Pinus brutia identified by the Institute of Forest Tree Seeds and Improvement in Ankara. The terms of reference were as follows: [::] to explore both the geographic and the ecological distribution of P. brutia in Turkey; [::] to make observations on the phenotypic variation of the species (growth and form, morphological characteristics of needles and cones); [::] to make proposals for sampling of provenances representative of the natural variation of the species, in accordance with the scope of the anticipated, international provenance trials and practical considerations in seed collection. [\n] During the one-month mission 23 stands of Pinus brutia were visited. Each stand was described (location, ecological conditions, phenotypic characteristics of stand and trees) and measured (height, diameter and mean annual increment of 5 dominant trees). In addition, 25 cone bearing dominants of average or better than average form, standing at least 50 m apart, were chosen and marked for future seed collection.
