Özet |
In this study, the effects of some stand characteristics (ie stand stage, crown closure and site class) on stand-level biomass allocation were investigated in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stands, which is one of main coniferous tree species of Türkiye. The study was conducted in pure and even-aged Scots pine stands located in Karadere Forest Enterprise of Kastamonu Regional Directorate of Forestry, Türkiye. As study material, diameters at breast height (dbh) were measured of the trees greater than or equal to 8 cm dbh in 96 temporary sample plots, and stand stage (b, bc, c, cd and d), crown closure (% 11-40,% 41-70 and>% 70), site class (I, II and III) and stand type of the stands where the sample plots located were defined. The above-ground components’(stem, branch, needle and bark) biomasses of all measured trees within sample plots were predicted using biomass equations developed by Yavuz et al.(2010), and the total above-ground biomasses were calculated by summing the component biomasses. Then, stand-level total and componential above-ground biomasses (ton per ha) were obtained. To compare the biomass allocation in terms of stand characteristics, biomass allocation of stand-level stem, branch, needle and bark biomasses were calculated as percent values. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used for comparisons, and the differences between the stand characteristics’ groups were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney U test. The study results revealed that the stand characteristics except crown closure has statistically important (p< 0.05) effects on stand-level biomass allocation in Scots pine stands. According to the results, in parallel … |
