The Determination Of Optimal Structure Of Forests Operated For

Conservation And Service Purposes: A Case Of Odayeri Planning Unit
Optimal forest structures have not been revealed for various forest areas allocated for conservation and other services. Determination of optimal structures by allocating these areas into different forest uses is very important in terms of sustainable management of forest good and services. In this study, it was aimed to reveal how to determine optimal structures for soil protection, hydrological control, recreational and aesthetic values of forests under Ecosystem Based Multiple Use Forest Management Planning approach. Since optimal structures are determined based on management regime, forest form, and management method, they are carried out on the basis of sub-management unit. By considering main values for all stands in a planning unit and using criteria and indicators necessary for determining specified forest use areas, it was intended to allocate forest stands into various other appropriate forest uses. Once the theoretical framework of the optimal structures for sub-management areas was determined, they were presented in digital and graphical forms in a sample forest management planning unit.
In defining forest values in a planning unit, each forest use area was determined individually based on forest compartments or sub-compartments and then overlaid on a single map. Sub-forest management units of water preservation, soil conservation, aesthetic (landscape protection), and recreation were formed by evaluating forest areas with respect to the specific values of the forest stands. Sub-forest management units are then formed on the basis of main forest values of the stands since continuity of flows of products and services can be ensured by creating sub-forest management units in the current application of Forest Management Guidelines of forestry in the country. Optimal structures of the sub-management units, generated in the study area for conservation and service purposes, were determined based on regular yield tables or stand tables.
This study developed a new method with extensive criteria and indicators such as slope, main rock groups, stand structure, root system and species mix to better allocate forest areas into soil conservation values. The thesis has also provided a new approach to classify recreational areas and thus its-sub-management unit toward the multiple use of forest resources. Besides, forest optimal structure was determined for each forest use focusing on both conservation and aesthetic-recreation areas.
