We used Kaplan-Meier survival analysis to assess the mortality risks for three diameter classes: pole stage (8-19.9 cm), small wood (20-35.9 cm), and mature (36-51.9 cm.)Main results: Smaller-diameter trees (8-19.9 cm) exhibited the highest mortality risk with a survival rate of 71.1%, while medium-diameter trees (20-35.9 cm) had a survival rate of 93.2%, and larger-diameter trees (36-51.9 cm) showed complete survival. Overall, 41 trees (89.6%) died, with significant differences in survival probabilities among diameter classes.Research highlights: Smaller-diameter trees are more vulnerable to mortality during resin tapping, underscoring the need for sustainable management strategies.

Kuruma risklerini değerlendirmek için Kaplan-Meier yaşama analizi kullanılmış ve ağaçlar üç çap sınıfına ayrılmıştır: sırıklık ve direklik (8-19.9 cm), ince ağaçlık (20-35.9 cm) ve orta ağaçlık (36-51.9 cm) Temel sonuçlar: Küçük çaplı ağaçlar (8-19.9 cm) %71.1 yaşama oranı ile en yüksek kuruma riskini göstermiştir. Orta çaplı ağaçlarda (20-35.9 cm) yaşama oranı %93.2 iken, büyük çaplı ağaçlar (36-51.9 cm) tamamen hayatta kalmıştır. Genel olarak, çap sınıfları arasında önemli farklılıklarla birlikte toplamda 41 ağaç (%89.6) kurumuştur.Araştırma vurguları: Küçük çaplı ağaçlar, açık yara yöntemiyle yapılan reçine üretimi sırasında kuruma riskine daha duyarlıdır ve bu durum sürdürülebilir yönetim stratejilerinin gerekliliğini ortaya koymaktadır.
