| Özet |
| Assessment and monitoring of changes in land use are among the most important means of understanding of forest ecosystem dynamics. The main objective of this study was to investigate the spatio-temporal variability of forest cover changes by use of spatial pattern analysis. The study was performed in Başkonuş Forest Enterprise in the Mediterranean city of Kahramanmaraş in Turkey. The spatio-temporal variability of forest structures from 1992 to 2012 was analyzed by use of the Geographical Information Systems tool ArcGIS 10.0 and the spatial statistical package FRAGSTATS. The results indicated that forest areas increased from 11,446 to 11,827 ha, which is approximately 2 % of the study area. There was also a substantial increase (9.7 %) in productive forests, whereas degraded forests decreased by 7.8 %. Silvicultural treatment, rehabilitation, and conversion of coppice forests to high forests were the main … |
