THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON TÜRKİYE’S FOREST ECOSYSTEMS Abstract Water is vital for all living things and ecosystems, and “clean and accessible water” constitutes things, and the sustainability of forest ecosystems are possible only with sufficient and regularthe basis of humanity, civilizations, and all life. The same is true for forests and...

In the context of global climate change, carbon sequestration has become a highly valued function of forest ecosystems. Forests harbor approximately 44% of the global carbon pool, storing carbon dioxide (CO2) in their woody biomass, and playing an irreplaceable role in regulating global carbon balance. So, the main purpose of this research is to di...
Article
Soil organic carbon (SOC) storage plays a crucial role in mitigating global climate change while maintaining forests and sustaining environmental conditions. Recent studies have shown that plant species diversity increases SOC storage in experimental grasslands and natural forests. Here, we aim to show how an integrating tree-size and trait-based e...

Data capturing multiple axes of tree size and shape, such as a tree's stem diameter, height and crown size, underpin a wide range of ecological research - from developing and testing theory on forest structure and dynamics, to estimating forest carbon stocks and their uncertainties, and integrating remote sensing imagery into forest monitoring prog...
Article
Forests are the major components of global carbon (C) cycling, and hence, it is crucial to explore the drivers of forest functions related to C sequestration. Here, using the multiple linear regressions models (MLMs) and structural equation models (SEMs), we evaluated how abiotic (i.e., soil nutrients and topography) and biotic [i.e., functional tr...
Article
Full-text available
The influences of trait diversity (i.e., the niche complementarity effect) and functional composition (i.e., the mass ratio effect) on aboveground biomass (AGB) is a highly debated topic in forest ecology. Therefore, further studies are needed to explore these mechanisms in unstudied forest ecosystems to enhance our understanding, and to provide gu...
Article
It is generally well-explored that overstorey stratum regulates understorey stratum through the dominant role over the available resources in forests. However, the relationships amongst topography, soil nutrients, species diversity, tree-size dimension inequality and aboveground carbon (AGC) stock across forest strata remain debated in forest ecosy...

Spatial patterns of trees and their interactions specifically reflect mortality, gap creation, resource use, and also determine population dynamics such as seed dispersal, understory development, initial survival and establishment, growth, and competition. In this study, three one-hectare sample plots in the three stages of early development, matur...
Conference Paper

Identification and assessment of quantitative characteristics of forest communities are the basic components of forest planning. In order to investigate the height frequency distribution of trees in the uneven-aged mixed stands, height of 248 trees in a sample plot of one hectare (100 m × 100 m) were measured. Beta, Johnson’s SB, Gamma, Weibull and...

This research was conducted to study the spatial patterns and spatial associations of trees in different height classes in mixed broad-leaved stands. Data collection was done using selected one-hectare square (100 m × 100 m) plots. We recorded species and height of all trees with DBH > 7.5 cm, which fully mapped. Then the measured trees were divide...
Conference Paper
Studying the spatial patterns, inter and intra-specific associations of tree species may provide valuable insights into processes and mechanisms that maintain species coexistence. In this study, a one-hectare (100 m × 100 m) plot was selected in mixed broadleaf stands. we positioned all trees with a diameter at breast height (DBH) larger than 7.5 c...

The temperate broadleaf hyrcanian forests in north of Iran, due to having high variety of fauna and flora are entitled to great importance. Study and evaluation of the changes of the structure of this forests in maintaining, developing and guiding the ecosystem towards the desired objectives is being helpful. Statistical distributions are important...

The northern Alborz forests are considered part of the world ancient forests that are very rich in terms of number and variety of the species. Knowledge of the spatial pattern of existing species in forests is the most visible aspects of forest stand structure, Specification of particular functioning, description of ecosystem stability, preparation...

Identification and assessment of quantitative characteristics of forest communities are the basic components of forest planning. Modeling frequency distributions of tree parameters such as diameter and height in various fields of forest sciences, including forest management, silviculture and forest biometrics plays an important role. The objective...

This research was conducted to study the spatial patterns, inter and intra-specific associations of tree species that may provide valuable insights into processes and mechanisms that maintain species coexistence. Data collection was done using three one-hectare (100 m × 100 m) plots from three development stages (initial, optimal and decay) in an i...

Mixed beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) forests are very important to the Hyrcanian region of Iran because of their high degree of naturalness and as a source of wood production. Determination of tree spatial patterns over development stages is a first step in understanding underlying processes driving regeneration and forest dynamics. Spatial patter...
