Abstract
Pinus brutii (Calabrian pine) (Pinus brutia Ten.) is an important natural species of the forest communities of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea basin. The species was first described by the Italian botanist Michele Tenore in 1811. On the fringes of its distribution range, three species (in addition to the species) and one subspecies are recognized: P. brutia var. pityusa (Steven). Pinus brutia Ten. forests are important for multi-purpose forestry and have high ecological value. They are of great economic importance and represent the only or main source of wood and one of the forest cover species in some Mediterranean countries. In the Eastern Mediterranean countries it is the most important coniferous species from an economic point of view; its wood is used for many purposes. Pine forests of P. brutia play a key role in providing important indirect benefits and environmental services, such as soil and water protection, biodiversity conservation, supporting agricultural productivity, carbon sequestration, climate change, mitigation and adaptation, and combating desertification. The ability of P. brutia to grow on a wide range of soils and its high growth potential makes it one of the most promising species for countries in the Mediterranean and Black Sea basin regions. In addition, the ability to withstand aridity and resistance to continental climate and to recover from forest fires makes this species an indispensable forest species in the fragile ecosystems of the regions in question.
