RESEARCHES ON STAND COMPOSITIONS IN BÜLBÜLPINARI (ELDİVAN-ÇANKIRI)

In this study; Stand compositions of Eldivan-Bulbulpinari forest district within the boundaries of Cankiri divisional forest were studied. In order to realize this, 20 sample plots with dimensions 40x10 m2 and 6 stand profiles with dimensions at 50x10 m2, which give the best representation of the interrelated community, were taken to determine district's stand compositions and silvicultural properties. Each sample plots' aspect, elevation (m), inclination (%), shape, canopy of layers (%), dominant species' height (m), dbh (cm), stand crown height (m), stand middle dbh (cm), age, mixing ratio of species, stand properties and in sample plots' plant species were determined. In the district, Anatolian Crimean pine, Anatolian Crimean pine-oak species stand compositions are existing. In addition, 30 species belong to 19 families from spermatophyta by 3 species belong to 2 families from the byrofit were determined.
