| Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) is the most widely distributed member of family Pinaceae in the world. The longitudinal range of Scots pine covers over 14,000 km and extends from 8 W in Spain to 141 E in Siberia. The latitudinal range of Scots pine covers over 3,700 km and extends from 37 N in Turkey to 70 N in Norway, Sweden, and Finland (Turna, 2003). Scots pine is an important commercial forest tree species, widely planted for industrial and conservation activities such as protecting soil erosion and living snowfences. Scots pine occupies about 738.000 ha in Turkey, growing mainly in the Black Sea coastal mountains on warm southern slopes, where climate is humid. Within its distribution range, scots pine can grow under diverse ecological conditions. Such a wide range of ecological conditions favors the formation of a variety of ecotypes (Turna and Güney, 2009). Scots pine is an important component of subalpine ecosystems of Black sea region in Turkey because of its role in watershed protection, its functional natural habitat for wild life, also, because of its esthetic values. It has, therefore, great importance especially in Blacksea forestry. Scots pine is one of the important forest tree species both in Turkish Forestry and breeding program (Şevik et al., 2010).Seed orchards are the most important seed source for forestry plantation and a link between present and future forests as gene conservation areas. Also, seed orchards have more importance for conservation of unproductive forest to productive forest because of its improved seeds (Bilir and Temiraga, 2012). There are in total 110.6 ha of scots pine seed orchard at 21 places in Turkey … |
