Özet
This study presents temporal changes in forest timber biomass of a department of forest management consisting of four forest management units in Turkey. Changes in forest tree biomass are linked to forest cover change during 1986-2011 period based on forest inventory data. We also produced forest biomass density maps using Geographical Information Systems. The results showed a net increase of 1,755 ha in forested areas of the Department of Golyaka Forest Management. Depending on the increase of forested area (1,755 ha and the annual forestation rate was 0.44% per year) and growing stock volumes (27% increase), total forest tree biomass also increased by 27.6% in this period. The observed trends of the increasing forest tree biomass in the study area could be explained by the increasing forested area, the decreasing settlement and agricultural lands, the forestation on forest openings, the rehabilitation of degraded forests and the conversion of coppice forest to high forests with greater growing stock increments.
