Abstract

This study was conducted at Al-Sheikh Sayah site (Khirbat Al-Jawz) with the aim of calculating the wood productivity of stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) growing on green rocks (Gabbro). The results showed that the average number of trees per hectare was 285 trees/ha, the average diameter for the site was 16.5 cm, the average height of the trees was 6.2 m, the average form factor was 0.86, the average basal area was 6.27 m2/ha, the average wood stock was 34.6 m3/ha, and the average annual growth was 1.38 m3/ha/year, which is significantly smaller compared to the annual growth rate of stone pine, which ranges from 4 to 10 m3/ha/year
