In this study, biomass equations are presented for scots pine stands within the Erzurum Regional Forestry Management Area. Thirty-three sample plots, each of 0.04 hectares were chosen in order to define the biomass equations of black pine, one of the common needle-leaved species in Turkey. A tree that is the most similar to mean tree according to basal area was cut in each sample area as a sample tree. Various models were tested, utilizing the diameter (d) and the height (h) as independent variables, and the most suitable models were determined. Using these models, above-ground biomass amounts can easily be acquired for single trees and stands.
