Temporal Variation of Carbon Storage Quantities

Abstract

The biomass and carbon stock capacities of Bolu Forest Regional Directorate, Aladağ Forest Management Directorate, Demirciler Forest Management Directorate's forests between 1986-1995 and 2009-2018 were calculated. Biomass and carbon storage amounts of forests were determined according to Allometric Biomass Method (USA) and Biomass Expansion Factor (BEF) method. It is mapped to the ArcGISTM 10.3 environment. While the carbon value of 103.20 ton/ha was determined by the US method in the coniferous stands during the 1986-1995 Plan period, it was determined as 92.18 ton/ha by the BEF method. In the 2009-2018 plan period, 127.63 tons/ha of carbon was calculated with the US method and 122.43 tons /ha of carbon with the BEF method. Parallel results were also seen in broad leaf and mixed stand types.In the allometric equation method, since the equations developed based on the diameter are used for tree species, it is thought to give more results than the other method.

Karbon Depolama Miktarlarının Zamansal Değişimi

Abstract

Bolu Orman Bölge Müdürlüğü, Aladağ Orman İşletme Müdürlüğü, Demirciler Orman İşletme Şefliği’nin ormanlarının 1986-1995 ve 2009-2018 yıllarına ait biyokütle ve karbon tutma kapasiteleri hesaplanmıştır. Ormanlarının biyokütle ve karbon depolama miktarları Allometrik Biyokütle Yöntemi (ABD) ve Biyokütle Genişletme Faktörü (BEF) yöntemine göre belirlenmiştir. ArcGIS sürüm 10.3TM ortamında haritalandırılmıştır. Planlama biriminde 1986-1995 Plan döneminde iğne yapraklı meşcerelerde ABD yöntemiyle 103,20 ton/ha karbon değeri belirlenirken, BEF yöntemiyle 92,18 ton/ha olarak belirlenmiştir. 2009-2018 plan döneminde ise yöntemler ABD yöntemi 127,63 ton/ha ve BEF yöntemi 122,43 ton/ha karbon hesabı çıkarmıştır. Geniş yapraklı ve karışık meşcere tiplerinde de paralel sonuçlar görülmüştür. Allometrik denklem yönteminde, ağaç türleri için, çapa bağlı geliştirilen denklemler kullanıldığından diğer yönteme göre daha sonuçlar verdiği düşünülmektedir.
