Özet:

 Objective: The objective of this study was to reveal at which level urban street trees in Burdur city center can accomplish ecosystem services ES regulation. Material and Methods: In this study, ecosystem benefits in physical terms are quantified by using a software called i-Tree Eco model developed by the USDA Forest Service. Besides tree characteristics and urban forest cover, air pollution reduction, carbon storage and sequestration, oxygen production, and avoided runoff are four regulating ES selected and studied. Results: As a result of the measurements made it was estimated that trees in Burdur city center remove 66.79 kilograms of air pollution per year and the gross sequestration of street trees was about 12.92 metric tons of carbon per year. Conclusion: Considering the data obtained as a result of this study, it can be stated that the species to t provide an advantage in terms of ecosystem services-pollution removal, carbon sequestration and storage, oxygen production, stormwater avoided-should be preferred to determine the tree species to be used in urban street afforestation.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Burdur il merkezindeki kentsel yol ağaçlarının ekosistem hizmetleri ES düzenlemesini ne düzeyde gerçekleştirebileceğini ortaya koymaktır. Materyal ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada, USDA Forest Service tarafından geliştirilen i-Tree Eco modeli adı verilen bir yazılım kullanılarak ekosistemin fiziksel faydaları araştırılmıştır. Ağaç özellikleri ve kentsel orman örtüsünün yanı sıra, hava kirliliğini azaltma, karbon depolama ve ayırma, oksijen üretimi ve önlenen akış, seçilen ve incelenen dört düzenleyici ESdir. Araştırma Bulguları: Yapılan ölçümler sonucunda Burdur il merkezindeki ağaçların yılda 66,79 kilogram hava kirliliğini ortadan kaldırdığı ve yol ağaçlarının brüt olarak yılda yaklaşık 12,92 metrik ton karbon tuttuğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Bu araştırma sonucunda elde edilen veriler dikkate alındığında, kent içi yol ağaçlandırmasında kullanılacak ağaç türlerinin belirlenmesinde ekosistem hizmetleri açısından avantaj sağlayan türlerin kirlilik giderme, karbon tutma ve depolama, oksijen üretimi, yağmur sularından kaçınma tercih edilmesi gerektiği anlaşılmıştır.
