Kyoto Protokolüne taraf olan ülkeler her
yıl düzenli olarak sera gazı ulusal envanterlerini hazırlayarak Birleşmiş
Milletler İklim Değişikliği Çerçeve Sözleşmesi (BMİDÇS) sekretaryasına
sunmaktadırlar. Bu raporlar değişik sektörlerdeki (enerji, endüstriyel süreçler
ve ürün kullanımı, tarım, arazi kullanımı, arazi kullanım değişikliği ve
ormancılık (LULUCF), atıklar) sera gazları salım ve bağlanma miktarlarını
içermektedirler. Raporların hazırlanmasında Hükümetler Arası İklim Değişikliği
Paneli (IPCC) tarafından hazırlanan rehberlerde belirtilen yöntemler
kullanılmaktadır. Bu rehberlerden ormancılıkla ilgili olanları 2003 yılında
yayınlanan arazi kullanımı, arazi kullanım değişikliği ve ormancılık (LULUCF)
ile 2006 yılında yayınlanan tarım, ormancılık ve diğer arazi kullanımı (AFOLU)
olarak adlandırılan rehberlerdir. Bu rehberlere göre ormanlar tarafından
bağlanan karbon miktarının hesaplanmasında ormanlardaki ağaç serveti ya da
artım değerlerinden çeşitli katsayılar kullanılarak bitkisel kütlede stok
halinde depolanan ya da yıllık olarak biriktirilen karbon miktarları
hesaplanabilmektedir. Benzer şekilde yangın, üretim, kaçak kesimler ile
ormandan uzaklaştırılan karbon miktarları da yine katsayılar yardımı ile tahmin
edilebilmektedir. Çalışmada AFOLU rehberine göre kullanılması gereken bitkisel
kütle genişletme faktörlerinden (BEFs) BEF1 katsayıları ibreliler için 1,212 ve
yapraklılar için 1,310 olarak belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada ek olarak
kullanılabilir odun hacmini topraküstü bitkisel kütleye dönüştürmede kullanılabilecek
BEF2 katsayıları güncellenerek yapraklılar için 1,326 ve ibreliler için 1,262
olarak bulunmuştur. Ayrıca AFOLU rehberinde verilen yöntemlerde kullanılan
bitkisel kütle dönüştürme ve genişletme faktörleri (BCEFs) de hesaplanmıştır.

Biomass factors used to calculate carbon storage of Turkish forests

Abstract

DOI: 10.26650/forestist.2019.110719

The countries that are parties to the Kyoto
Protocol submit annual inventories of greenhouse gases to the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change Secretariat. The reports comprise values
of emission and removal of greenhouse gases from different sectors (energy,
industrial processes and product use, agriculture, land use, land use change,
and forestry, and waste). These reports are prepared by using the methodologies
indicated in guides that are prepared by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change. Among the guides, those that are forestry related include: guidelines
for the land use, land use change, and forestry (LULUCF) sector reported in
2003 and for the agriculture forestry and other land uses (AFOLU) sector
reported in 2006. According to these guidelines, carbon, which is stored in the
biomass as stock or annually sequestered amounts, can be calculated by using
various factors derived from growing stock or annual increment in forests.
Similarly, the amount of carbon removed from the forest by fire, production, or
illegal cuttings can also be estimated using such factors. In this study, the
biomass expansion factor (BEF1) is determined as 1.212 for the conifers and
1.310 for the broadleaved species. Also the BEF2 was updated and determined as
1.326 for the conifers, and 1.262 for the broadleaved species. In this study,
the biomass conversion and expansion factors (BCEF’s) that are used in the
AFOLU guide were also calculated.
