Precommercial thinning is the basic management practice in young Anatolian black pine [ Pinus nigra Arn. subsp. pallasiana ] stands. The aim of this study was to address the lack of knowledge with regard to the impact of the intensity of precommercial thinning on tree growth and stability in Anatolian black pine forest in a humid region under the oro-mediterranean climatic conditions. The field experiment was established in late April 2015 by three precommercial thinning treatments, unthinned control (4941 stems ha − 1 ), 2–2.5 m spacing (PCT 2–2.5 m ) = 2133 stems ha − 1 , and 3–3.5 m spacing (PCT 3–3.5 m ) = 1093 stems ha − 1 , and monitored for three growing seasons. Tree diameter (diameter at breast height), basal area, and crown radius increments showed a positive response to precommercial thinning, especially in the PCT 3–3.5 m plots. The height incre- ment was highest in the unthinned plots. Height:diameter 1.30 m ( h/d ) ratio of trees grown at the PCT 3–3.5 m plots was lower than the other precommercial thinning treatments. The negative correlation between DBH and h/d ratio was slightly decreased for the PCT 3–3.5 m plots in the 3 years after precommercial thinning. The percentage of trees damaged by snow or wind in the second year of the PCT was not significantly affected by precommercial thinning. Precommercial thinning promotes diameter at breast height and crown growth by reducing competition between neighboring trees for natural resources. In addition, findings indicate that precommercial thinning increased stand stability with increasing diameter against snow/wind damage likely to occur at high altitudes of the oro-mediterranean belt.

The intense pressure resulting from population growth and urbanization along with technology has created the need for utilizing natural areas for tourism and recreational purposes and has necessitated the protection, development, and planning of natural resources for people to benefit from. Due to the importance of determining temporal changes within the framework of the protection-use balance, this study examined the changes occurring within the recreational areas of the Uludağ National Park between the years 1970 and 2010 from human use. As a result of the recreational facilities offered to visitors, an average of 550 000 people benefits annually from the area, which was designated as a national park in 1961. The study included the camping and picnic sites of Sarıalan, Çobankaya, Kirazlıyayla, and Karabelen situated within the park and the ski site of the first development zone. High-resolution satellite images and aerial photographs of the areas at different dates were employed. The temporal changes in the selected areas were analyzed by digital image processing with the help of the geographic information system. Upon examining the impact of the recreational use changes occurring on the land cover, it was revealed that building areas had increased by 15 ha (2.57%), road areas by 21 ha (7.89%), and bare land areas by 67 ha (.53%), while the meadowland areas had decreased by 223 ha (119.37%). The forested areas had increased by 78 ha (48.93%), woodland areas by 79 ha (59.37%) and were not adversely affected, mainly due to the protection status of the park.
