Carbon Concentration in Tree Components of Mature Pinus brutia Ten. Forests in the Marmara Transition Zone

Aim of study: This study was carried out to determine the carbon concentration tree components (needles, wood, bark, root) and weighted concentrations above-ground total mass. Area Current in natural Pinus brutia forests Marmara Transition Zone, southern side Sakarya river. Material methods: The samplings were made 10 stands mature stage (dbh = 20.0-51.9 cm) that different terms habitat characteristics. Needle, root samples taken from three dominant trees each sample plot. Carbon analysed laboratory components. data obtained evaluated by analysis variance Duncan multiple comparison test. Main results: Significant differences determined between (p<0.001). lowest (50.25%) found highest (54.90%) bark. calculated as 52.07% for 51.77% biomass. Highlights: results can be used calculation stocks stored both whole forests.
