Abstract	Pinus brutia Ten. subspecies brutia, which occurs in the Eastern Mediterranean region, is the main forest species in Syria and important for multi-purpose forestry. In this study, 6,631 10-year past growth diameter increment measurements were taken in 83 temporary sample plots. The current breast height diameter of all trees was measured and a sample of trees was measured for height and age. The plots were placed so as to capture the whole range of variation in site quality, stand age and stand density. The data were used to develop the following models: Dominant height model: the guide curve method was used to fit an anamorphic site index model between stand age and dominant height.Individual-tree diameter increment model: future 10-year diameter increment was modelled as a function of site index, stand basal area, basal area of trees larger than the subject tree, slope, aspect and diameter at breast height (dbh).Tree height model: tree height was modelled as a function of dbh, dominant height and dominant diameter.Self-thinning: the plots which have reached the self-thinning limit were selected and the (maximum) number of trees per hectare was modelled as a function of mean diameter and site index.The set of models enables the simulation of forest stand dynamics on an individual-tree basis.
