Determination of Success in Forest Rehabilitation of Isparta-Senirkent District

This study was carried out to contribute unproductive forest area of turkey. ten experimental areas (50x10 m2) were sampled at rehabilitation area of isparta- senirkent region. survival, seedling height and root-collar diameter were measured at the experimental areas in 2014. numbers of survival and unlived seedlings were 503 and 81, respectively. while numbers of survival seedlings were 162 juniper seedlings at four years old, the others were taurus cedar seedlings at 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 years old. averages of seedling height and root-collar diameter were 25.6 cm and 7.9 mm at the experimental areas, respectively. there were significant differences (p≤0.05) among sampled areas for seedling height and root-collar diameter based on results of variance analysis. there were positive and significant (p≤0.05) relations between seedling height and root-collar diameter at all the sampled areas. results of the study were also discussed by silvicultural practices such as planting, sowing and re-plantation at the areas.
