Özet:

 Land use and land use change can positively or negatively affect carbon and nutrient stocks in ecosystems. This study was carried out to determine the effects of afforestation with black pine and maritime pine species on carbon stocks and soil and litter characteristics. The study was conducted on afforestation areas and adjacent bare lands in Bartın-Ulus county, located in the Western Black Sea Region of Turkey. Three sample plots of 2020 m were taken from each land use and the diameter at breast height and tree heights in these sample plots were measured Using the diameter and height values and the biomass equations and carbon ratios developed for the relevant tree species, the tree biomass and carbon stock per unit area were calculated. Then, disturbed and undisturbed soil samples and litter samples were taken from 0-10, 10-20 and 20-30 cm depth intervals at three points in each sample plot. The physical and chemical properties of the soil and litter samples were determined in the laboratory and measurements in the sample plots were converted to a unit area. The data were evaluated using independent sample t-tests and analysis of variance. The results showed that afforestation significantly changed N, S, P, Fe, Zn, and Cu concentrations in the soil; and C, S, Mn, and Zn concentrations in black pine and maritime pine forest floor were different. Besides, the ecosystem carbon C stocks differed significantly with forest land use type; black pine plantations, maritime pine plantations and bare land accumulated 148 t C ha-1, 89 t C ha-1 and 27 t C ha-1, respectively. Thus, we suggest that priority should be given to black pine in afforestation of the region and in other ecosystems with similar climates. The results of the research can be used in species selection for afforestation studies in terms of reducing the impact of global climate change.

 Arazi kullanımı ve arazi kullanım değişikliği ekosistemdeki karbon ve besin maddesi stoklarını olumlu ya da olumsuz yönde etkileyebilmektedir. Bu çalışma, karaçam ve sahil çamı türleri ile yapılan ağaçlandırmaların karbon stokları ile toprak ve ölü örtü özelliklerine etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışma, Türkiyenin Batı Karadeniz Bölgesinde yer alan Bartın ili, Ulus ilçesindeki ağaçlandırma alanları ile bu alanlara bitişik çıplak alanlar üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Her arazi kullanımından 2020 m ebadında üç adet örnek alan alınmış, bu örnek alanlardaki ağaçların göğüs çapları ve boyları ölçülmüştür. Ölçülen bu çap ve boy değerleri ile ilgili ağaç türleri için geliştirilen bitkisel kütle denklemleri ve karbon oranları kullanılarak birim alandaki ağaç kütlesi ve karbon stoku hesaplanmıştır. Daha sonra her örnek alanda üç noktada 0-10, 10-20 ve 20-30 cm derinlik kademelerinden bozulmuş ve bozulmamış toprak örnekleri ile ölü örtü örnekleri alınmıştır. Araziden alınan toprak ve ölü örtü örneklerinin laboratuvarda fiziksel ve kimyasal özellikleri belirlenmiş ve örnek alanda ölçülen değerler birim alana dönüştürülmüştür. Elde edilen veriler t testi ve varyans analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, ağaçlandırmanın toprakların N, S, P, Fe, Zn ve Cu içeriklerini önemli seviyede değiştirdiği; karaçam ve sahil çamı ölü örtülerinin C, S, Mn ve Zn içerikleri bakımından farklı olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Ayrıca ekosistem karbon stoku arazi kullanım türlerine göre önemli farklılaşma göstermiş, karaçam ve sahil çamı ağaçlandırmaları ile çıplak alanda sırasıyla 148 t C ha-1, 89 t C ha-1 ve 27 t C ha-1 bulunmuştur. Bu sebeple, yörede ve benzer ekolojik özelliklere sahip yerlerdeki ağaçlandırmalarda önceliğin karaçama verilmesi önerilebilir. Araştırma sonuçları, küresel iklim değişikliğinin etkisinin azaltılması bakımından ağaçlandırma çalışmaları için tür seçiminde kullanılabilir.
