Year: 2025

Understanding carbon concentration in different tree components is essential for accurate forest carbon accounting and climate change mitigation efforts. This study investigated the carbon concentrations of wood, bark, needles, and roots in natural black pine (Pinus nigra subsp. pallasiana) forests located in the central part of Türkiye. Samples were collected from ten pure mature stands between 1000 and 1600 m elevation, considering both aspect and slope position. Carbon content was analyzed us
