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.
