Article
In this study, we aimed to use tree-ring based fire reconstruction to understand the spatiotemporal patterns of past fires in different climate types of western Anatolia. We collected fire scarred wood samples from living trees as wedges and remnant woods from ten sites along a transect that represents a continental to Mediterranean climate gradien...
Article
Forests in the Mediterranean basin frequently experience fires due to both anthropogenic and natural causes. There are concerns that the fire season will prolong in the Mediterranean basin, the fire frequency will increase with ongoing climate change, moreover, the fire regimes will shift from surface fires to local crown fires. Here, we aim to imp...
Article
Pinus sylvestris, the most widely distributed pine species, is commonly used in dendrochronological studies. Based on a lack of studies at its southeastern distribution, we analysed the growth responses of P. sylvestris to temperature and precipitation. We selected 13 sites to study the effects of climate on the growth of Scots pine stands througho...

Species distribution models can help predicting range shifts under climate change. The aim of this study is to investigate the late Quaternary distribution of Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis) and to project future distribution ranges under different climate change scenarios using a combined palaeobotanical, phylogeographic, and modelling approach....

This study was carried out to construct a site chronology of oriental beech in Topaktas site of the Amanos Mountains, one of the most southerly populations of oriental beech, and to investigate the relationships between tree-ring width and some climate variables such as the monthly maximum, minimum and mean temperature and monthly total precipitati...
Article
Full-text available
Recent climate and societal changes have increased wildfire activity and prolonged the fire season in many regions of the world. The precision of fire seasonality analysis from tree-ring records can be improved by complementing the subjectively determined intra-ring position of fire scars with more precise studies of wood formation. With this aim,...
Article
The interactions between fire occurrence-human-climate are highly complex to understand and also difficult to predict due to having many sources of variations in fire regimes. However, we can gather information about the effect of human influence on the regional fire regimes where human influence is high, and the history of locations is well-known...
Presentation
Full-text available
Bu sunumda şu soruları soracağız: Dendrokronoloji nedir? Dendrokronolojinin alt dalları nelerdir? Bu alt dalların yapmış olduğu çalışmaların sonucunda ne gibi geçmiş doğa olayları hakkında bilgiler edinebiliriz? Bu doğa olaylarından biri olan orman yangınlarının dendrokronoloji ile nasıl tarihlendirilebileceğini konuşacağız. Ekoloji ve Evrimsel Bi...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
In this presentation, the distributions of Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) under present, past (Last Glacial Maximum, LGM; 21 ka and mid-Holocene, MH; 6 ka) and future climates (Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 2.6, 4.5, 8.5 scenarios) were modeled using five different species distribution modeling algorithms. Output of Maxent an...

Climate change is impacting forest biomes more severely than ever, even with the ~1°C temperature warming so far. Their geographical distributions are linked to warming temperatures and decreasing precipitation. Forest species try to adapt to this change by forcing these constraints. Recent warming not only impacted the survival rates of most tree...
