Stand growth models are needed for a variety of forestry practices, primarily management plans and silvicultural studies. The goal this study was to create stand-level natural, pure even-aged stands Calabrian pine in the central Mediterranean region Turkey. area consists natural located within boundaries Antalya Mersin Regional Forestry Directorates Data collected from 486 temporary plots scattered throughout region. Two trees (the dominant tree representing quadratic mean diameter stand) were measured each plot, yielding 972 trees. data showed that age varied 6 135 years, site index (SI) 8.5 33.5 m, density 0.3 12.4. density-dependent yield tables generated using regression equations based on stand age, SI, with individual, two-factor, three-factor interaction effects. For SI classes I, II, III, optimal rotation period would result highest yields is 60, 65, 75 respectively. developed (i.e., tables) agreed fundamental principles provided literature.
