Pinus brutiaTen.

is the most important coniferous tree species grow naturally in some mountains of Iraqi Kurdistan Region.

It is well adapted to both climatically and soil conditions.

The diameter at breast height (DBH) is the significant character which has a major effect on both volume, and height of the tree, and indirectly with the site index.

The purpose of this study was to utilize remote sensing techniques in estimating the DBH.

This is performed by developing models between the collected DBH measurements from the field and the extracted tree crown area from high resolution satellite imagery (WorldView-2).

Five models were developed and the selection of the best model was based on coefficient of determination (R2), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Bias, and Accuracy criteria.

Accordingly, the model DBH= 1.2768 TCA − 14.381 was the most appropriate model to estimate the DBH for Pinus brutia Ten.

in this study.
