The carbon ecosystem service is important due to climate change and the effects of forest management practices. Many research efforts have been made to relate carbon storage with forest management practices and identify the most suitable sites for this purpose. Different methods for digitizing and mapping of carbon ecosystem services are needed to...

Silvics of North America (SNA) is a widely used silvicultural manual. However, the last SNA was published in 1990. Therefore, 2,589 registered foresters were surveyed across four US states to answer two broad questions: (1) Should SNA be updated? And (2) would an updated SNA still be a useful tool for forest management? Most respondents indicated t...

Öz Çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’nin ilk orman amenajman planının düzenlendiği Hendek Mustafa Şeref Bey Ormanı için 1917-2015 döneminde yapılan sekiz orman amenajman planının teknik ve yapısal değişimlerinin karşılaştırmalı olarak ortaya konulmasıdır. Bu değişimler; planların dayandığı yasal düzenlemeler, haritaların oluşturulması ve envanter yöntemle...

In general, studies are carried out to determine the location and to resolve trade-offs in the management of forests according to ecosystem services. The government of Turkey also has been advancing this type of analysis in the practical management of forests. The creation of ecosystem services (ES) suitability map for forests through a participato...

Istanbul is a fast-growing city with a more than 15 million population and limited possibilities of recreational opportunities within its perimeter. The Belgrad Forest, one of the largest forests in Istanbul, currently have only 3.18% of the area designated for recreation. The aim of this research is to assess and map of recreation area (RA) suitab...

Oak forests in northern Turkey have been largely managed as coppice. Nevertheless, in parallel with the decrease in demand of firewood and charcoal, the coppices, having no social demand or regional pressure, have been converted into high forests since 2006. Because of this new regulation, a potential need has arisen to schedule forest harvests act...

In this review, we have developed a new taxonomic framework for the classification of forest management optimization studies. In the proposed taxonomy, we consider: the study type; model structure; methodology; modeling type; problem objectives, level and type; plan type; and forest structure. We have used the proposed taxonomy to classify 111 arti...

Increases in the concentration of carbon dioxide represent one of the most important environmental issues in our time. Human activities such as heating, transportation and electricity consumption contribute gradually to this increase. There are different measures to reduce the amount of carbon concentration in the atmosphere. One of these measures...

Forests are the main areas that preferred for recreational activities especially in the major cities of Turkey. Istanbul is the most urbanized city in Turkey and the forest named as Belgrad is one of the oldest and famous forest areas that located on the north side of the city. According to the previous researches for the last 10 years period, the...

The determination of the forest fires locations as quickly as possible and accurately is very important for fighting forest fires. Therefore, fire watchtowers should be located on high peaks where watchtower staffs are able to watch most of the forested areas. In this study, Dalaman State Forest Enterprise was selected as first-degree fire-prone re...

Forest management plans were made with traditional planning approach from 1918 until 2008 in Turkey. The Plans were completed across the whole country in 1972. After 1978, it has begun to implemented different planning systems in some regions. Forest management plans have began to be made with functional planning approach since 2008. In this study,...

zet Sürdürülebilir ormancılık esasları çerçevesinde ormanlar planlanabilmesi için meşcere haritaları oluşturulması gerekmektedir. Bu süreç meşcere haritalarının plan ünitesindeki belirli büyüklük ve sayıdaki deneme alanlarından alınan verilerin bilimsel ölçütlere dayanarak haritalanması, aktüel (mevcut) durumun belirlenmesi açısından önem taşımakta...
