Özet:

 Aim of study: This study investigates how silvicultural treatments and skid trails influence soil respiration in relation to soil moisture, temperature, and topographic factors within forest ecosystems. Area of study: This study was carried out depending on topographical factors slope, aspect, elevations as a result of silvicultural treatments in Pinus Nigra stands in Kastamonu Forestry Regional Directorate Daday Business Directorate. Material and method: Soil respiration, temperature and moisture measurements were made at different slope, elevation and aspect groups from the control points and skidding trail for regeneration and tending treatments. Main results: Silvicultural treatments did not significantly affect soil respiration or moisture on skid trails, while soil temperature was influential in both treatments. Elevation was the most important topographic factor, affecting all soil properties. Slope influenced only soil moisture, whereas aspect affected respiration and moisture but not temperature. Highlights: The study provides insights into how skid trails from different silvicultural treatments impact soil properties and underlines the importance of ecologically based approaches for sustainable forest management.

 Çalışmanın amacı: Bu çalışmada, silvikültürel işlemler ve sürütme yollarının, orman ekosistemlerinde toprak nemi, sıcaklığı ve topoğrafik faktörlerle ilişkili olarak toprak solunumu üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Çalışma alanı: Çalışma, Kastamonu Orman Bölge Müdürlüğü Daday İşletme Müdürlüğündeki karaçam meşcerelerinde yapılan silvikültürel uygulamalar bakım ve tensil alanları sonucunda topografik faktörlere bağlı olarak yürütülmüştür. Materyal ve yöntem: Her bir silvikültürel müdahale için kontrol noktalarından ve sürütme yollarından farklı eğim, yükseklik ve bakı gruplarında toprak solunumu, sıcaklık ve nem ölçümleri yapılmıştır. Temel sonuçlar: Silvikültürel işlemler, sürütme yollarında toprak solunumu ve nemi üzerinde anlamlı bir etki göstermemiştir. Ancak toprak sıcaklığı her iki işlemde de etkili bulunmuştur. Topoğrafik faktörlerden yükselti tüm toprak özelliklerinde belirleyici olmuştur. Eğim yalnızca toprak nemini etkilerken, bakı grupları toprak solunumu ve nem üzerinde etkili olmuş, sıcaklık üzerinde ise etkili olmamıştır. Araştırma vurguları: Bu çalışma, farklı silvikültürel işlemler sonucu oluşan sürütme yollarının toprak özellikleri üzerindeki etkilerini ortaya koymakta ve sürdürülebilir ormancılık için ekolojik temelli yaklaşımların önemini vurgulamaktadır.
