Interaction between Growth and Reproductive Characters of Anatolian Black Pine [Pinus nigra Arnold. subsp. pallasiana (Lamb.) Holmboe] Populations in Burdur-G？lhisar District

This study was carried out on 270 individual trees of three natural populations sampled altitudinal (1300 m <, ≤1300-1600 m <, 1600 m ≤) for two years (2015-2016) of Anatolian Black Pine [Pinus nigra Arnold. subsp. pallasiana (Lamb.) Holmboe] to estimate interaction between growth and reproductive characters for contribution silvicultural and other forestry practices of the species. Significant (p<0.05) and positive relations were found generally among reproductive characteristics, while the relations among altitude, growth and reproductive characters changed for years and populations, and also for characters based on results of correlation analysis
