Summary:

      

The size of each sample plot is 144 square meters and there have been 40 Scotch Pine seedlings on each sample plot. Heights, diameter (d1.30) and height growing of last year of these seedlings were measured and survival rate of the seedlings on the sample plots was defined. Besides, physiographic characteristics and edaphic factors of the each sample plots like exposure, slope, altitude, soil depth, soil reaction (pH) and soil texture were determined.

      According to Analysis of Variance, Correlation and Multivariate Variance, it was found that physiographic and edaphic factors like soil depth, exposure, slope, altitude, soil reaction (pH) and soil texture affected the height, diameter (d1.30) and height growing of last year of the seedlings. It was found that no factor affected the survival rate of the seedlings with 95 percent confidence level.
