Abstract

Çalışmanın amacı: Ağaçlarda meydana gelen kar zararına etki eden meşcere ve yetişme ortamı değişkenlerinin tespit edilmesi.

Çalışma alanı: Kastamonu Orman Bölge Müdürlüğü’ne bağlı Boyabat Orman İşletme Müdürlüğü’nün Yediçam ve Bürnük İşletme Şefliklerinde kar zararının tespit edildiği 234 ve 116 numaralı bölmeler.

Meteryal ve Metod: 2014-2015 kış ve erken ilkbahar süresince kar zararı tespit edilen iki bölme, aynı meşcere ve yetişme ortamı özelliklerine haiz ancak zarar görmemiş, kontrol maksatlı seçilen iki bölme ile karşılaştırıldı, istatistiksel analizler yürütüldü.

Sonuçlar: Yaş, ağaç sıklığı, ağaç sayısı, meşcere göğüs yüzeyi ve hacmi gibi meşcere parametrelerine ilaveten, eğim, bonited, engebelilik ve toprak derinliği gibi mevki parametrelerinin, kar zararı üzerinde etkili oldukları tespit edildi.

Dikkat edilmesi gereken hususlar: İklim göz ardı edilmemesi gereken bir gerçektir. Bu doğrultuda, sıkıntıların bertaraf edilebilmesi için, yeni yönetimsel tercihler, gerekli görülen yerlerde uygulamaya alınmalıdır. Çalışmalar, aksi durumlarda karşılaşılabilecekleri göstermektedir. Geçmişte yaşananlardan dersler çıkarılmalı, yanlış uygulamalar tekrarlanmamslıdır.

Determination of Some Stand and Site Parameters Influencing the Snow Damage in Trees: A Case Study of Boyabat Forest Enterprise, Turkey

Abstract

Aim of Study: Determination of the snow damage triggering stand and site parameter on trees.

Area of Study: Damaged compartments of Yedicam and Burnuk Forest Directorates, #234 and #116, within Boyabat Forest Enterprise of Kastamonu Regional Directorate of Forestry.

Material and Method: Two damaged and two control compartments from each directorate were compared to find if any site or stand parameters are related to the snow damage occurred in the area during 2014-2015 winter. Statistical analysis were carried out to test the significance of the parameters.

Main results: Age, relative density, the number of trees, basal area and stand volume of the stand parameters, and slope, site class, terrain roughness and soil depth of the site parameters were statistically linked to the snow damage.

Research highlights: The climate is a force to be reckoned with. New strategies must be devised and put into action in forest management. Studies have shown the mishaps. The lessons should be taken from the past experiences. Apparent mistakes must gradually be eliminated.
