Forest Areas
The formation of large areas of forest communities in the tree has spread to areas
are formed. In other words, groups of trees forests of the North Anatolian
north-facing slopes of the mountains up to 1200 m above sea level. up areas
leafed trees (beech, hornbeam, linden, maple, oak, chestnut, alder,
elm) have occurred in other parts of the country next to the humid forests
dry forests appears to be remarkable in two ways. Also
protect forests in our country, damaged wood, coppice, coppice, including corrupt
As can be separated.


Our country is about 20 million hectares of forested areas. This value is surface area of ​​the whole country
26% of. 21% of forest area forest preserve good, 27% bad wood,
15% of the coppice, coppice bush damaged 37% of the mixture. Forests in our country
areas of forests in the Black Sea region according to geographical regions, Western Anatolia
"Marmara and the Aegean Region" forests, Mediterranean forests, Central and Eastern Anatolia
forests can be grouped into four groups.
2.1. Forests of the Black Sea Region
Forest areas with abundant rainfall, especially above sea level, the shores of this region
starting from 2000 m. walks up to the heights of the spaces in the East than the West
located in a lush place to be shrinking in the case of a strip of expanding everywhere
low-level components of some shrubs (Sandal, Strawberry Tree, Menengiç, Phillyrea)
include so on. After 200 m along the northern slopes of
starts from beech, chestnut, linden, beech, oak, maple, alder leaves, such as
of deciduous and 1200 m. until faced with a generation.
It is also known as leafy forests, this field you should protect. The Black Sea
Forest area in 1200 m. later than the Western, Central and Eastern areas of different
gives an image. Accordingly, larch and firs meanwhile density onshore western and central areas
In the east, while fir, pine and spruce density wins. The Black Sea
on the southern slopes of the mountains and down to the second level lists dry forests
is dominant. Here, while the low-level concentrations of various oak species
600-800 m in the upper levels. 'to 1000 m.' leaves those who were spilling areas up to
(Beech, hornbeam, alder, kırağaç, lime) in the upper levels of pine, larch,
junipers and firs meanwhile takes place. The upper limit of the forest in the mountains of northern Anatolia 2000 m.
around. These trees will disappear after this. Alpine meadows in the field
begins. Forests of the Black Sea in Turkey, which shows a value of 32% in the whole
one third of the forest area.


This forested areas in the field of Marmara Region Istanbul, Samanli mountains, Bursa,
Biga Korudağ and parts of Strandja attention. Especially the northern slopes
common. In this regard, Uludag, shrubs solid, solid-leaved forests, conifers
a stage in the Alpine meadow solid structure. Forests in the western region
areas of our country occupies 38% of the forested areas. Here is the main species
oak, beech, chestnut, beech, fir, larch, Pinus brutia. Marmara region,
By 2100, the upper limit of the forest in Uludag, this is occurring only sporadically after this dwarf
ardıçlardan alpine meadows and then starts. This off-site in the mountains of Samanli 350 -
400 meters, then Istrancalarda, Dark Mountain and north of Edremit Kazdağ
forested areas around the common. In those regions, the northern slopes, moist forests
the southern slopes of creating a dry forests. Neogene and the surrounding beech
Fir forests of larch and well known for its striking after 1200.
Xerophytic forest property in forest areas showing the Aegean Region in general
Horst areas are located on. Where the red pines next to the oak and juniper species
The main species. Aydın mountains, Bozdaglar, Istanbul and Samsun mountain, in this respect,
developed bodies,. Kozak outside of these masses, the mass of the Madranbaba FiveFingers
mountains, pine trees became intense peanut mountains.
In addition, in the south east of the peninsula Datca Marmaris, around Koycegiz
Sweetgum trees per day relict forests in the lower regions constitutes a
appear before us as a community. Forest areas in the Aegean top of a high
limit at 2100 m. finds.



2.3. Forests of the Mediterranean Region
Dalaman River valley, the eastern part of this region, starting from the forests of Iskenderun
Taurus and Amanus Mountains to the east of the Gulf of ongoing
takes place. The forests typically 700-800 m. shrubs formation altitude of up to
starts out and 2100 m. continue up to an altitude.
Dominated by pine and oak species at lower levels, while the upper levels of a variety of 1200 -
2100 m. from cedar, fir and ardıçlardan occurs. Cedar of Lebanon, especially in the Taurus
Fir main species. This is our country's forests, forest areas in our region
Take up 20%. Retain 80% of the forests along the shores of the Mediterranean
While forest coppice is 20%.

2.4. Interior of our regions Forest Areas
Poor in terms of the inner regions of Turkey's areas of forest areas. Central Anatolia, Eastern
forests in total forest area of ​​free zones all over Turkey and Southeastern Anatolia
however, as many as 10% in value. The main reason for this, the climatic conditions
expediency and tahriptir ongoing for centuries. Especially in western parts
treeing inability to prevent long-lasting dry circuits. Inner Anatolia forest
showing areas of high mountains, volcanic edifice (Melendiz, Erciyes, Hasandağ) and
Akdag between Yozgat, Sivas, on the slopes of oak and larch juniper communities
If clusters are noteworthy.
Meşelerdir the dominant type of forest areas in eastern Anatolia. Plateau and high
If parts are found in the character of dry forest on the mountains. Especially
Thuja Southeastern Taurus mountain, Handle Mount and Tunceli, Bingol density environments
winner of 850 m from these forests. 'starting from 2400-2600 m.' interests up.
Eastern Anatolia Region (Yalnızçam in the mountains of the northeast, around Sarıkamış)
timberline in our country is the highest point (2800 m.) is reached, where the
Scotch pine groves attract attention.
