Özet:

 Quantification and evaluation of carbon sequestration in forests within the scope of macro-scale planning is important in terms of maintaining and monitoring forestry activities. These sustainable and carbon-optimized forestry activities increase carbon sequestration without damaging the natural ecosystem structure, in areas where carbon sequestration is low, and contribute additionally to the mitigation of greenhouse gases. In this study, carbon sequestration for forests in the Mediterranean Ecoregion of Türkiye was calculated and mapped using stand volume values and internationally accepted coefficients. In this study, 1 average carbon stock per hectare for deciduous and coniferous trees at the forestry administrative borders, 2 average carbon stock per hectare for deciduous pure or mainly deciduous tree species and coniferous pure or mainly coniferous tree species stands in the region; and 3 average biomass carbon stock according to stand age and canopy for Turkish red pine Pinus brutia Ten. and black pine P. nigra Arnold were calculated. The average above-ground biomass carbon stock according to forest stand types in Forest Sub-District Directorates is 36.12 tons Cha for normal closed more than 10 covered coniferous stands and 20.13 tons Cha for normal closed deciduous stands. Çzde3 and Çze3 stands for Turkish red pine, and Çkde3 and Çke3 stands for black pine, which provide the highest carbon sequestration. The results of this study can be used for the selection of species and silvicultural practices in terms of carbon stock, taking into account the natural structure of ecosystems. In addition, the carbon stock potential of non-dominant species in the stand was evaluated for the first time in this study. This information will support the conservation of these species in mixtures. Finally, it will also ensure that the stand carbon stock differences between the forestry sub-districts are taken into account in activities such as increasing carbon sequestration and carbon management efforts, taking measures, or intervening in problems.

 Üst ölçekli planlama kapsamında orman ekosistemlerinde karbon tutumunun hesaplanması ve değerlendirilmesi, ormancılık faaliyetlerinin sürdürülmesi ve izlenmesi açısından önemlidir. Sürdürülebilir ve karbon odaklı ormancılık faaliyetleri karbon tutumunun düşük olduğu alanlarda, doğal ekosistem yapısına zarar vermeden karbon tutumunu artırmakta ve sera gazlarının azaltımına ilave katkı sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada Türkiyenin Akdeniz Ekolojik Bölgesindeki ormanlar için mevcut karbon tutumu, meşcere hacim değerleri ve uluslararası kabul görmüş katsayılar kullanılarak hesaplanmış ve haritalandırılmıştır. Çalışmada 1 orman idari sınırları için yapraklı ve ibreli ağaç türlerinin hektardaki ortalama karbon stok değerleri, 2 tüm bölgedeki yapraklı saf ya da yapraklı ağaç türü ağırlıklı ve ibreli saf ya da ibreli ağaç türü ağırlıklı meşcereler için hektardaki ortalama karbon stok değerleri, 3 kızılçam Turkish red pine Pinus brutia Ten. ve karaçam black pine P. nigra Arnold için çağ ve kapalılığa göre hektardaki ortalama biyokütle karbon stok değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Orman İşletme Şefliklerindeki orman meşcere türlerine göre ortalama toprak üstü biyokütle karbon stoku normal kapalı ibreli meşcereler için 36,12 ton Cha ve normal kapalı yapraklı meşcereler için 20,13 ton Chadır. Kızılçam için Çzde3 ve Çze3 meşcereleri ve karaçam için Çkde3 ve Çke3 meşcereleri en yüksek karbon tutumunu sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, ekosistemlerin doğal yapısının da gözetilerek karbon stoku depolaması açısından ağaç türü seçiminde ve silvikültürel uygulamaların belirlenmesinde kullanılabilecektir. Bunun dışında meşcerede baskın olmayan türlerin karbon stok potansiyeli ilk kez bu çalışmada değerlendirilmiştir. Bu bilgi, bu türlerin karışımlarda korunmasını destekleyecektir. Son olarak, karbon yönetiminde yutak alanların ve karbon tutumunun artırılmasına yönelik çalışmaların artırılması ve önlemlerin alınması ya da sorunlara müdahale edilmesi gibi faaliyetlerde şeflikler arasındaki meşcere karbon stok farklarının gözetilmesini de sağlayacaktır.
