Examining carbon storage capacities of pure and mixed stands with the aid of biomass models and detection analysis BEF coefficients

This study was carried out in Bartın province Arıt, Amasra and Kurucaşile Forestry Management Departments in order to examine the determination of carbon storage capacities in pure and mixed stands with the aid of biomass models and Biomass Expansion Factor (BEF) coefficients. In this study, biomass and carbon storage amounts of forests in Arıt, Amasra and Kurucaşile forest management provinces of Bartın province were determined according to the method of Allometric Biomass Method (ABD) and BEF method. Mapping was done using ARCGIS 9.3. According to the ABD method, in the Arıt, Amasra, Kurucaşile forest enterprise , carbon storage amounts calculated respectively are as 96.72 tons / ha; 97.19 ton / ha; 161.33 ton / ha. According to BEF method, 65,62 tons / ha; 67.63 tons / ha and 126.63 tons / ha of carbon were stored.
