Thus its regeneration and seed production capacities are important factors to take into account to reach the necessities of the country. To study the production of cones and seeds of Aleppo pine, Tunisia\u2019s native Aleppo pine forests were surveyed in summer 2006, using 79 plots (40 \u00d7 25 m: 1,000 m\u00b2) spread over four bioclimatic zones. Standard tree characteristics, crown dimensions and cone\/seed variables were measured from an average tree of each plot(i.e. a total of 79 trees). Recorded data were submitted to simple and multiple regression analyses for explaining the variability in crown volume and crown surface, cone number and seed yield per average tree. Results showed a negative correlation between the stand density, crown characteristics and number of cones and seeds harvested from the average tree. For crown volume and surface, age, stand density, tree height, diameter at breast height, crown diameterand crown height were important explanatory variables under multiple regression analyses. For cone number per tree, only the age, stand density and total height were the most determinant variables. Matures cone number per tree and cone mass per tree were the most informative parameters for the total seed yields per tree. Finally, forest managers should know that crown size affects cone and seed crop of the Aleppo pine individual tree grown in Tunisia, but has no effects on seed number per cone and seed mass per cone.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5424\/fs\/2112211-11463","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,29]],"date-time":"2012-03-29T10:51:25Z","timestamp":1333018285000},"page":"128-140","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Stand, tree and crown variables affecting cone crop and seed yield of Aleppo pine forests in different bioclimatic regions of Tunisia"],"prefix":"10.5424","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"A.","family":"Ayari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"A.","family":"Zubizarreta-Gerendiain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"M.","family":"Tome","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"J.","family":"Tome","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"S.","family":"Garchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"B.","family":"Henchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"2373","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1006\/anbo.1996.0021"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1972","DOI":"10.1093\/jn\/129.11.1972","article-title":"Pinus pinaster Oil Affects Lipoprotein Metabolism in Apolipoprotein E-Deficient Mice.","volume":"129","author":"Asset","year":"1999","journal-title":"J.
