Özet
The aim of this study was to determine the atmospheric deposition in fir forests (Abies nordmannianna (Steven)) in the Bolu Aladag region. The study area selected was located in the mountainous Aladag region stretching along the south of Bolu Province in the Western Black Sea Region of Turkey. Four elevation zones (1000, 1200, 1400, and 1600 m above sea level) were designated on the closed-canopy fir forest-dominated northern slopes of the mountain. Sampling plots were established for each elevation zone, eight on randomly located sites under the canopy and three on adjacent open sites. For each elevation zone, open site, throughfall, and stemflow deposition samples were collected between April and November for two years (2013-2014). Chemical analysis of the samples was performed in the ICP laboratory located within the Aegean Forestry Research Institute in Izmir. One-way ANOVA was carried out for each variable to determine the differences in the sampling plots. Sulfate, nitrogen, potassium, and calcium were the main ions deposited in the fir forests in the 1000-1600-m elevation zones in Aladag. The acid neutralization capacity of the deposition samples collected in the open site plots was high for all elevation zones.
