Abstract:
In this study, it has been aimed to investigate increment and growth relations for volume and other volume increments of pure and undisturbed timberlines (2000 m above sea level) Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stands at Ilgaz Mountain depend on site index and stand age. In this research; the pure, even aged or uneven-aged, undisturbed and naturally grown stand of Scotch pine stands were examined. For this purpose the sample plots of 4 forestline, 1 treeline and 1 dwarfish treeline were evaluated. The distribution of trees per hectare to the diameter classes, height-age, diameter-age, diameter-height, diameter-diameter increment, crown height- diameter and crown diameter-diameter were investigated. These characteristics which were derived from the measurements of sample plots were balanced with the most suitable models. The estimated values of model were compared with the values of the poor site (site class III in yield table).
