Abstract

Istanbul University Research Forest was managed as coppice until 1983. This forest has been under theconversion of coppice stands to high forest since 1997. Stands which are on the lower slopes, have wetand deep soil conditions are dominated by hornbeam (Carpinus betulus). Five hornbeam dominatedsample plots were taken. The effect of the coppice cutting (clearcutting) on the stand structure wasinvestigated by comparing the stand mixture according to the basal area and number of the trees onclearcut and unclearcut at least for 40 years. Results indicate that coppice cutting is accelerated thedomination of hornbeam which has vegetative and generative competition advantage on the oaks(Quercus frainetto). Economically valuable oak must be protected against the hornbeam and it must bereplaced by under planting and seeding on the hornbeam stands.
