In order to assimilate the environmental conditions, seedlings were planted under randomized complete blocks design with 3 replications in Karadj area. In growing season, height growths were measured in 6 periods and diameter growths were measured in 2 periods. The results showed no significant differences between the stands in term of height and diameter growths but there were significant differences between periods in terms of height and diameter growths. In total, the results of growth parameters measuring in P. nigra stands showed that the trees of the two provinces presented a fairly similar growth function during a growing season.
