Abstract

Background and aims Precipitation, throughfall and stemflow are significative on interception, which is an important part of the hydrological cycle. Many factors affect the stemflow, which is a component of interception. One of the factors affecting the stemflow is the bark characteristics. Especially smooth and rough bark characteristics can be decisive in the stemflow. In this study, stemflow yield of trees with smooth (Carpinus betulus L.) and rough (Quercus cerris L.) bark were determined, and the results were compared. Methods Stemflow was determined by collecting the precipitation coming from plastic gutters placed spirally on the trunks of individual trees in a closed collection tank. A precipitation gauge installed in a suitable clearing in the forest was used to determine the total amount of rain falling in the study area. Results After eight rainfall events that produced stemflow, the total amount of precipitation recorded as 175.4 mm during the study period. The data obtained after eight rainfall events on a total of ten individual trees revealed that the bark roughness affected the stemflow (p<0.05). Compared to the precipitation in the open field, an average of 2.36% and 1.35% of stemflow occurred in hornbeam and oak trees, respectively. Conclusions This result reveals that the roughness of the barks is a determining factor on the stemflow. It is anticipated that the study may contribute to the determination of stemflow per hectare in hornbeam and oak stands.

Özet

Giriş ve Hedefler Hidrolojik döngünün önemli bir parçası olan intersepsiyon üzerinde açık alana düşen toplam yağış, orman altı yağış ve gövdeden akış bileşenleri belirleyicidir. Bu bileşenlerden biri olan gövdeden akışı etkileyen birçok etmen bulunmaktadır. Bunlardan bir tanesi de kabuk özellikleridir. Özellikle pürüzsüz ve pürüzlü kabuklar yağmurun gövdeden akarak yere ulaşmasında belirleyici olabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada pürüzsüz (Carpinus betulus L.) ve pürüzlü (Quercus cerris L.) gövde kabuğuna sahip ağaçların gövdeden akış değerlerinin belirlenmesi ve sonuçların karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntemler Gövdeden akış, birey ağaçların gövdesine sarmal şekilde yerleştirilen plastik oluklardan gelen yağmurun, ağzı kapalı bir toplama tankında biriktirilmesiyle tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma alanına düşen toplam yağmur miktarının belirlenmesinde orman içinde uygun bir açıklığa tesis edilen yağışölçer kullanılmıştır. Bulgular Çalışma süresince gövdeden akış üreten sekiz yağış sonrasında toplam 175,4 mm yağmur düşmüştür. Toplam on ağaçtan sekiz yağmur olayı sonrasında elde edilen veriler, kabuk pürüzlülüğünün gövdeden akışa etki ettiğini ortaya koymuştur (p<0,05). Açık alana düşen yağışla karşılaştırıldığında gürgen ve meşe ağaçlarında sırasıyla ortalama %2,36 ve %1,35 oranında gövdeden akış gerçekleşmiştir. Sonuçlar Bu sonuç pürüzlü ağaç kabuklarının gövdeden akış üzerinde belirleyici bir öğe olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışmanın gürgen ve meşe meşcerelerinde hektarda meydana gelen gövdeden akışın belirlenmesine katkı sağlayabileceği öngörülmektedir.
