Study on biyomass carbon sequestration capacities of mixed stands in Bartin

This study was made to estimate biomass and carbon sequestration capacities of mixed stands that have hiph canopy closure in BArtın. 82 sample plots (400 m2) were measured from mixed stands. By using sample plot measurements and observations, stand types were determined. After that, whole tree oven-dry biomass amounts were calculated using single and double entry biomass models for each mixed stand type. Biomass amounts calculated for sample plots base, were converted stand base (kg/ha) using converting factor (25). Stand biomass amounts for each mixed stands werw compared with pure stands biomass amounts. Estimated stand base oven-dry masses multiplated with 0,5 factor and carbon storage amounts were predicted for mixed stand types.
