“…In France, the growth in the height of Aleppo pine notably accelerated between 1960 and 2000 (Vennetier et al 1999). Bello-Rodríguez et al (2020) reported that the expansion of Aleppo pine is very important to the island of La Gomera (Spain) and has increased since approximately 50 years, due to environmental conditions suitable to the species.…”

This paper reviews recent findings on Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis Mill.), which is found throughout the Mediterranean region and has been introduced in several areas of the world. This species is used in reforestation efforts for timber production and protection of degraded areas. Several studies have shown that this species has high biomass productivity and high plasticity. Its radial growth is influenced by the climate and the physical environment. Aleppo pine is known for its great capacity for expansion in its natural environment and its great capacity for invasion in areas where it has been introduced worldwide. The use of P. halepensis Mill. as rootstock has yielded satisfactory resultsin the production of stone pine cones and nuts in marginalized, arid, and dry areas. This review can help forest managers developing optimal management strategies for Aleppo pine stands in arid and sub-arid Mediterranean regions.

“…Pinus halepensis Mill., commonly referred to as Aleppo pine, is the most abundant tree in the Mediterranean Basin, particularly in Algeria and Tunisia, and is a member of the 62 Pinaceae family (Ávila et al, 2022). These trees are characterized by their rapid growth, high propagule production, and adaptability to their native areas (Bello-Rodríguez et al, 2020). It has been reported that seeds exhibit a high proteins content (Al-Ismail et al, 2018), making them potential candidates as biocoagulant.…”

“…This is the most widely used species in the Mediterranean region given its ability to adapt to different climates and soils, its yield, and its economic importance (Fernández-Ondoño et al, 2010). Indeed, in the semi-arid areas of the Mediterranean basin, restoration activities during the 20th century were mainly based on extensive plantations of P. halepensis, which currently cover thousands of hectares (Maestre and Cortina, 2004;Bello-Rodríguez et al, 2020).…”

“…The reforestation of P. halepensis in the Beni Sohane forest started more than 45 years ago, and it has negatively affected the biodiversity of our study area (Benarchid et al, 2018). The P. halepensis is considered an invasive species in many natural and artificial areas (Bello-Rodríguez et al, 2020). It's becoming more important to assess the effects of reforestation species on soils, as well as their interactions with other species (Yeste et al, 2021).…”

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of reforestation of Pinus halepensis on soil fertility in the Beni Sohane forest. The Physico-chemical analysis was carried out on 24 soil samples collected at two depths of 0-10 cm and 10-30 cm. The soil samples were collected from 45-year-old reforested plots and native forest controls. The results revealed that reforestation with P. halepensis did not affect the pH, while it had negative effects on the content of all other nutrients, especially for Olsen phosphorus and boron, whose levels were significantly lower than those recorded in the native forest. The negative impact of reforestation was most accentuated in the topsoil layer of 0-10 cm. At this layer, the average content of all nutrients was -39% lower than the average content of the native forest, while at a depth of 10-30 cm it was only -18%. It seems that the sustainable restoration of degraded lands would depend on the prevalence of ecological considerations, favoring native forest species rather than expansionist exotic species such as P. halepensis.
