Özet |
In this study investigates the actual forest stand structures in the subalpine and high montane altitudinal forest zones on the north aspect of Ilgaz Mountain. Moreover, silvicultural conditions are evaluated. Investigation on forest stand structures is conducted on 12 sample plots (3 sample plots for subalpine, 9 sample plots for high mountain forest zone). In the sample plots number of trees, volume, mixture, basal area, height, age, dbh-height are examined. In addition, the identification of the herbaceous plant species and cluster structures have been realized. After investigating the factors having affect to stand structure, natural regeneration and ecological condition were assessed. Therefore, there are significant differences between stand structures on forest zones. It was seen that tree height (max. 15 m), tree number (max. 260/ha), stand volume (max. 102.530 m 3/ha) and stand basal area (max 21.80 m 2/ha) were significantly lower than sample plots on montane forest. Existance of cluster structures were determined on upper limit of high and subalpine forest zone. It was observed that tree number changes between 5-20 and 3-10 for Fir and Scot pine, respectively. The wideness of cluster changes according to tree number. In the study area accompanying flora in the stands were examined. |
