Site index curves for the golden oak species (Quercus alnifolia)

The golden oak (Quercus alnifolia) is the most ecologically important endemic species of Cyprus; therefore, the development of site index curves for classification of golden oak trees to site qualities will be useful for the rational management and monitoring of natural habitats of the golden oak.

The objective of this work was to develop site index curves for the golden oak species.
