ÇünküYAİ meşcerenin tepe çatısında oluşan birçok biyolojik ve fiziksel sürecindeğişimini ortaya koyabilmektedir. Bu bağlamda, YAİ değerlerinin belirlenmesiormancılık açısından önem taşımaktadır. YAİ’nin hesaplanmasında doğrudan vedolaylı birçok yöntem kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada doğrudan belirlenmeyöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bunun için farklı bakılarda, aynı yükseklik, aynı eğimve yaklaşık aynı kapalılıkta (0,9-1,0) meşcerelerden toplam 45 adet ağaçtanalınan 180 sürgünde ölçümler yapılmıştır. Buna göre kuzey ve güney olarakfarklı bakılardan alınan ağaçlarda yapılan YAİ değerleri farklı (güneybakılardaki ağaçlarda (σ =0,971) ve kuzey bakılardaki ağaçlarda (σ = 0,93))bulunmuştur. YAİ değerleri kuzey bakıdan alınan örneklerde daha yüksekçıkmıştır.

                            <p>Leaf area index is one of the most important factorsin presenting the basic structural characteristics of forest ecosystems.Because, leaf area index can reveal the change of many biological and physicalprocesses in the canopy. So, determination of the leaf area index is veryimportant in forestry. In calculation of the leaf area index many direct andindirect methods are used. In this study direct method was used in calculation.For this purpose, measurements were made in 180 shoots taken from a total of 45trees from different stands at the same altitude, aspect and have the sameslope gradient and approximately same canopy closure (0.9-1.0). Obtainedresults showed that leaf area index was higher in the samples taken from Northaspect ((σ = 0,93)) then South ( (σ = 0,971)). Obtained results indicated thatsilvicultural treatments at different intensity should be carried out even ifthe stands were in the same stand structure.</p></trans-abstract>
