This study was carried out to determine the indicator woody taxa of site productivity of black pine (Pinus nigra subsp. pallasiana) in the Inner Anatolian region. 106 sample plots were taken during the study. Site productivty of black pine was determined based on height measures at a particular age (40 years) at each sample plot and site index classes of sample plots were determined according to the site index values. Besides, woody plants were identified and recorded at each sample plot. Interspecific correlation analysis was perfomed between productive (good and middle productive classes) and unproductive site classes to define differences in distribution of woody species. According to the results, four positive (Cistus laurifolus, Rosa canina, Quercus vulcanica, Crataegus orientalis) and one negative (Juniperus oxycedrus) indicator species were recorded. The results of correlation analysis showed a significant positive relationship between productivity of Anatolian black pine and woody plant richness. It can be said that the areas covered by Cistus laurifolus, Rosa canina, Quercus vulcanica, Crataegus orientalis and rich in woody plants, could be the most probable productive sites for Anatolian black pine afforestation areas in the region.
