TI  - Modelling Top Soil Erosion Depend on Stand Profile for Anatolian Black Pine (Pinus nigra Arnold. subsp. pallasiana) Plantation in a Semi-Arid Ecosystem in Turkey
AB  - This paper researches top-soil loss depends on Anatolian black pine stands by different canopydensity. The stand profile is playing an important role on the living andnon-living environment in the ecosystem and it affects directly canopy density(CD), leaf area index and silvicultural treatments and indirectly affects thesoil properties. Within the scope of the study, three different canopydensities (60%, 80%, 90%) were taken and the stand profiles were determined byan 20x20 meter sample plots representing the stand. All sample plots wereselected under the same habitat conditions (Slope: 5%, Aspect: Northwest,Elevation: 1070 m) to estimate top soil loss model. As a result, the amount oftop soil loss was determined as 0.052 t/ha/yr in 60% CD, 0.037 t/ha/yr in 80%CD and 0.017 t/ha/yr in 90% CD respectively. In addition, multiple regression model(Linear, R2=0.96) was developed to estimate annual top soil lossdepend on DBH (diameter of breast height), and tree height. On the other hand,simple regression model (Quadratic, R2=0.98) using tree heightvariable was improved. Furthermore, more advanced models can be developed inthe future by using the stand parameters in different ecological conditions andslope gradients.
