Development trend of Pinus brutia Ten. stands which naturaly grown in Turkey on varying site quality and density Ievels has been studied. In order to achieve this aim 319 temporary sample plots which comprises of standarts mentioned above were taken from Mediterranean region where Pinus brutia stands are major covers, Site quality table, yield table and product assortiments yield table were prepared with the help of study materials collected from the sample plots. Yield tabtes incıude 5 site classes, 10 dcnsity levels and 20-100 age periods. The information regarding volumc and yield parameters inerement and total yield belonging to main and removed stands in the yield table of Pinus brutia has comperatively becn studied. In this study, yicld tables constructed by Alemdağ for the normal stocked natural grown Pinus brutia stands and by Usta for Pinus brutia plantations were use d for the comparison. Beside also yield tables prepared by Hofmann for P. brutia stands in Rhodes and by Frarız-Forster for P. halepensis in AIgeria were utilized.
