Eldarian Pine has high forestry potential in dry regions. Its rate of biomass accumulation rivals the fastest growing conifer species. According to this feature in this article we studied plantation possibilities to new areas on the base of the data obtained by geoinformational technologies about ecological limits of Pinus brutia var. eldarica (Medw.) Silba growing in Azerbaijan. Ecological amplitudes of this species have been defined according to the following limiting environmental factors: the sum of active temperatures above 0°C. the annual amount of precipitation and temperature for the month of January. The obtained model previously allows to identify the possible zones of plantation and perspective territories for the cultivation of this object. It was ascertained that the Pinus brutia var. eldarica (Medw.) Silba . is characterized by a wide potentiality of plantation for its cultivation in Central Asia and Asia Minor in a number of regions of Southern Europe. Northern and Southern America and Australi
