Abstract
In this study, the influence of site factor on the sapwood and heartwood ratios of Turkish calabrian pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) species was determined. The wood in this study was grown on four different sites in Turkey: Sucati-Kahramanmaras, Melli-Burdur, Yilanli-Mugla, and Kemalpasa-Izmir. The results indicated that the sapwood and heartwood ratios of the calabrian pine wood grown on these four sites averaged 93.81 percent and 6.13 percent, respectively.
