dc.description.abstractWood production is one of the most prominent ecosystem services in Turkey. Forest planning has long aimed to provide various ecosystem services, especially wood production, in a sustainable manner. While forestry activities have focused mainly on maintaining wood volume, the economic value of this volume is also important. In this study, we analyzed changes in stumpage value from 1972 onward in a managed forest in Turkey. Assuming constant market and transport conditions, we examined the effects of forest planning on stumpage value over time. Our hypothesis was that stands near roads and on gentle slopes were harvested first, leading to a decrease in stumpage value in later periods. Using Local Moran's I analysis, we found no significant slope differences among stumpage value groups. However, stands with high stumpage values during the 1972-1993 and 1993-2015 periods were generally located closer to roads. Overall, the stumpage value of the forest increased from 1972 to 2015. Notably, about half of the standing volume was only suitable for fuelwood. When considering forested areas, stumpage values per hectare were 1,386 in 1972, 556 in 1993, and 2,250 in 2015. Despite the larger forest area in 1993 compared to 1972, the stumpage value was lower.en_US
