Özet:

 The success rate of pine afforestation in Mediterranean countries decreased sharply in recent years, highlighting the critical need for selecting suitable tree species to ensure ecosystem sustainability and afforestation success. This study assesses the initial afforestation performance of two ecologically and economically important pine species in Türkiye under Izmir conditions, aiming to guide future semi-arid zone afforestation and restoration projects. The survival and growth of Turkish red pine Pinus brutia Ten. and maritime pine Pinus pinaster Aiton seedlings planted on northern and southern aspects of an experimental plot in Izmir-Buca were compared one and two years after planting. Two-factor ANOVA analysis revealed that Turkish red pine seedlings exhibited a 72 higher survival rate after two years than maritime pine seedlings. Diameter growth varied by species and aspect, with Turkish red pine showing similar performance on both aspects, while maritime pine showed significantly lower performance 18 on the southern aspect. Regardless of species, crown growth was considerably better in northern aspects, consistent with findings on superior soil moisture retention. These results indicate that Turkish red pine possesses greater drought tolerance than maritime pine under climate change conditions and is more suitable for semi-arid regions. Further research with different origins and locations over an extended period is recommended.

 Son yıllarda, Akdeniz ülkeleri çam ağaçlandırmalarında başarı oranı keskin bir şekilde düşmektedir. Bu, ekosistem sürdürülebilirliğini ve ağaçlandırma başarısını sağlamaya yönelik uygun ağaç türlerinin seçiminin önemini vurgulamaktadır. Bu çalışma, Türkiyede ekolojik ve ekonomik açıdan önemli iki çam türünün İzmir koşullarındaki başlangıç ağaçlandırma performansını değerlendirerek gelecek yarı kurak bölge ağaçlandırma ve restorasyon projelerine rehberlik etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada İzmir-Bucada yapılan bir ağaçlandırma sahasında, kuzey KB ve güney bakılarına GB dikilen kızılçam Pinus brutia Ten. ve sahil çamı Pinus pinaster Aiton fidanlarının birinci ve ikinci yıl yaşama oranı ile büyümesi karşılaştırılmıştır. İki faktörlü ANOVA analizi, kızılçam fidanlarının iki yıl sonra sahil çamı fidanlarına göre 72 daha iyi yaşama oranı sergilediğini ortaya koymuştur. Çap büyümesi türe ve bakıya göre farklılaşmıştır. Kızılçam KB ve GBda benzer performans gösterirken, sahil çamı çap büyümesi GBda anlamlı düzeyde düşmüştür 18. Türden bağımsız olarak, tepe büyümesi KBda anlamlı düzeyde artmıştır. Bu bulgular, toprak nemi bulgularıyla da tutarlılık göstermiştir. Sonuçlar, kızılçamın iklim değişikliği etkileri altında sahil çamına kıyasla kuraklığa daha dayanıklı olduğunu ve yarı kurak alan ağaçlandırmaları uygun bir tür olduğunu göstermektedir. Gelecekte, farklı orijin ve sahaların kullanıldığı daha uzun süreli araştırmaların da yapılması önerilir.
