Turkey has monumental Black Pine trees among a great variety of monumental trees recorded in the literature. The old Black Pine (Pinus nigra subsp. pallasiana) in Elemen Plateau of Dirgine in Zonguldak, the monumental properties of which haven't been studied until now, is the subject of the present investigation. The.Elemen Black Pine has no folkloric, historical and mystic properties. However, since its Present Monumental Point (PMP) is higher than Minimal Monumental Point (MMPspecies) of Black Pines, it is a dimensional monument tree. Elemen Black Pine should be considered important as a new addition to the monumental tree inventory of Black Sea Region of Turkey, and it should be registered officially as a dimensional monumental tree by Ministry of Environment and Forestry of Repuclic of Turkey.
