Die Kalabrische Kiefer (Pinus brutia), auch als Türkische Kiefer oder Östliche Mittelmeer-Kiefer bezeichnet, ist eine Pflanzenart aus der Gattung der Kiefern (Pinus) innerhalb der Familie der Kieferngewächse (Pinaceae). Das natürliche Verbreitungsgebiet liegt im östlichen Mittelmeerraum, rund um das Schwarze Meer und in Westasien. Es werden vier Varietäten unterschieden. Die Art Pinus brutia als gesamtes wird als nicht gefährdet eingestuft, die Varietät Pinus brutia var. pityusa gilt jedoch als gefährdet, und der Grad der Gefährdung der Varietät Pinus brutia var. eldarica kann aufgrund fehlender Daten zum tatsächlichen Verbreitungsgebiet nicht eingeschätzt werden. Das Holz von Pinus brutia wird u. a. als Bauholz verwendet oder zu Zellstoff weiterverarbeitet. In der Türkei wird das Harz zur Herstellung von Terpentin genutzt, auch wird Retsina mit dem Harz aromatisiert.

Encyclopedic overview

Pinus brutia, commonly known as the Turkish pine and Calabrian pine, is a species of pine native to the eastern Mediterranean region. The bulk of its range is in Turkey, with smaller populations occurring in Bulgaria, Crete, Cyprus, Iraq, western Syria, Northern Iran, Crimea, the western Caucasus, and Azerbaijan; it is also naturalised as far east as Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is also known as East Mediterranean pine, Afghan pine, and Brutia pine. The name "Calabrian pine" comes from an introduced grove in the region of Calabria in southern Italy; historically this region was called Bruttium, which is likely where the specific epithet "brutia" comes from. Pinus brutia bears many similarities with other, closely related species such as Pinus halepensis and Pinus canariensis. Turkish pine forms a species complex with the former.
