Abstract

In this study, factors
affecting the width of buffer zone used to minimize the sediment movement in
the productive forests, have been evaluated. For this purpose, sediment traps
were constructed in Istanbul University Education Research and Practice Forest.  Sediment data was obtained from sample plots
established depending on the different canopy closure, slope length, slope
area, rainfall and slope. In this context, a statistical model was developed to
estimate the sediment yield depending on slope and canopy closure. The accuracy
of the model was tested with various statistical analyses.  According to the results, sediment value can
be highly estimate depending on slope classes. According to results, in the developed regression
models to estimate effects of slope percentage on sediment values, the smallest
R2 value was found as 0.79 on 20 % slope area and the highest R2
value was found as 0.97 on 80 % and 100 % slope area. Also, as the slope
increases, the accuracy of the regression model of sediment yield increases.
And it is concluded that there is a very close relationship between 80 % and
100 % slope. In the developed regression models to estimate effects of canopy
closure effects on sediment values, it is seen that the lowest R2
value was calculated on canopy closure 71-100 %, and the highest R2
values were calculated on canopy closure 41-70 % and cutting areas. Sediment
yield increases with the decrease of the canopy closure and the accuracy of the
model increases.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada,
üretim ormanlarındaki sediment hareketini en aza indirgemek için kullanılan
tampon zon alanlarının genişliğini etkileyen faktörler değerlendirilmiştir. Bu
amaçla, İstanbul Üniversitesi Eğitim Araştırma ve Uygulama Ormanı’nda sediment kapanları tesis edilmiştir. Farklı meşcere
kapalılığı, yamaç uzunluğu, yamaç alanı, yağış ve eğime bağlı olarak tesis
edilen deneme alanlarından sediment verisi alınmıştır. Bu kapsamda, sediment
verimini hesaplamak amacıyla istatiksel bir model ortaya konmuştur. Modelin doğruluğu
çeşitli istatistiksel analizlerle sınanmıştır. Sonuçlara göre, eğim sınıflarına
bağlı olarak sediment değeri yüksek oranda tahmin edilebilmektedir. Elde edilen
sonuçlara göre, eğim yüzdesine bağlı olarak olarak sediment tahmini için geliştirilen
regresyon modeli sonuçlarında en düşük R2 değeri %20 eğim sınıfında 0.79, en yüksek
R2 değeri %80 ve %100 eğim sınıflarında 0,97 olarak bulunmuştur. Ayrıca eğim
arttıkça regresyon modelinin doğruluğu arttığı görülmüş ve %80 ile %100 eğim sınıfları
arasında çok yakın bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Ayrıca meşcere kapalılığının
sediment üretimi üzerindeki etkisini araştırmak için üretilen regresyon
modelinde en düşük R2 değeri %71-100 meşcere kapalılığında, en yüksek R2 değerleri
ise %41-70 kapalılıkta ve traşlama kesimlerinin yapıldığı alanlarda hesaplanmıştır.
Meşcere kapalılığının azalmasıyla birlikte sediment üretimi ve modelin doğruluğu
artmaktadır.
