Growth abnormalities seen in Bursa forests and opportunities to benefit

In traditional forestry, industrial wood production, ecological functions of the forest, soil and water conservation, meeting recreational needs are the main forms of use that come to mind. Industrial wood production is carried out using ecosystem-based functional forest management plans by provincial organizations of the General Directorate of Forestry, taking into account the principle of forest sustainability and silvicultural needs. The emvals produced are classified and evaluated as log, teldirek, mine pole, industrial wood, paper wood, shell paper wood, fiber chip wood, fine and splitting industrial wood, firewood, pole, rod and sawdust wood. These emvals are mostly sold in the form of round wood and placed on the market. Abnormal formations are eliminated in forest maintenance until the end of the forest management period, as it is aimed to obtain quality timber in the business forests. Some formations of different appearance, which are very common in forests and occur as a result of abnormal growth in trees for various reasons, cannot reach industry with their natural forms. However, today, many furniture and decorative items that are sought after in the furniture industry and are located in our homes, workplaces with aesthetic designs , and their economic value is quite high, are obtained from trees that show abnormal growth that are the subject of forest production. The aim of this study is to raise awareness of the contribution it will make to the economy by evaluating the natural forms of different formations, which are often evaluated as paper wood and firewood, left as production residues in the fields, without interference. Bursa Forest Regional Directorate Bursa and Inegöl Forest Management directorates and Uludag National Park within the boundaries of abnormal growth tree populations constitute the material of the study. Arasdere and Soğukpınar Forest Management Chiefs affiliated to Bursa Forest Management Directorate, Tahtaköprü Forest Management Chiefs affiliated to Inegöl Forest Management Directorate and Uludag National Park borders of forests taken from the test areas showed growth abnormalities trees were sampled on the basis of species. Emval types offered for sale in Bursa and Inegöl forest management offices are exemplified. Design products resulting from processing of massive tree were investigated and cost and sales averages were compared. In addition, the status of the sector was evaluated with survey studies conducted with solid tree processing enterprises. Keywords: Growth anomalies, tree design, massive tree, forest product
