Özet
This study investigates the effect of forest cover, development stage and aspect factors on surface temperature (LST) in Demirk & ouml;y and D & uuml;zce Forest Enterprises (FE) using Landsat 8 OLI satellite imagery from July 2021. In Demirk & ouml;y FE, the highest LST value was recorded in the district center with 47.4 degrees C, in D & uuml;zce FE, the highest LST value was recorded in the provincial center with 44.6 degrees C, while the lowest value was 14.3 degrees C in Demirk & ouml;y FE and 13.02 degrees C in D & uuml;zce FE in densely forested areas. When the stands were evaluated, it was found that pure juvenile oak stands had the highest average LST value with 30.48 degrees C in Demirk & ouml;y FE and 23.96 degrees C in D & uuml;zce FE, whereas lower LST values were observed in old oak stands due to more dense cover. In terms of aspect, higher temperatures were recorded in the southern and western aspects in both study areas. In D & uuml;zce FE, high LST values were also observed in juvenile stands in the northern direction, indicating the influence of local factors such as topography and solar radiation angle. The highest LST values were observed in open forest areas; 6-9 degrees C higher temperatures were found in Demirk & ouml;y and 1-5 degrees C higher in D & uuml;zce compared to vegetated areas. Significant correlations were found between LST and vegetation indices, and the highest correlation was found between LST and Normalized Difference Structuring Index (NDBI) (R2, 0.54 in Demirk & ouml;y and R2, 0.50 in D & uuml;zce). NDVI showed a negative relationship with LST (R2, 0.47 in Demirk & ouml;y, R2, 0.43 in D & uuml;zce). These findings reveal the critical role of forest density, tree species, and forest management practices in regulating surface temperatures, especially in the context of urbanization and deforestation.
