Cedrus libani
Conifer forests are the most widespread. Turkish black pine ("Pinus nigra"), Lebanon cedar ("Cedrus libani"), Taurus fir ("Abies cilicica"), and juniper ("Juniperus foetidissima" and "Juniperus excelsa") are the most common conifers. Junipers grow close to the treeline, which is at approximately 2000 meters elevation near the coast, and 2400 meters elevation in drier inland areas.
