Accordingly, annual soil loss in the Capakcur watershed was estimated using RUSLE. Net erosion, on the other hand, was measured directly by determining the monthly flow rate and sediment concentrations of the Capakcur stream, which originated from the Capakcur watershed and flowed into the Murat River, throughout 2019. Soil loss in the Capakcur watershed was estimated to be 96916.20 tons.yr-1. The amount of soil transported from the Capakcur stream was 68656.09 tons.yr-1. According to these results, the sediment delivery ratio (SDR) was calculated as 0.78. This ratio was well above the average of Turkey. The main reasons for the high SDR are the topographic factors (slope length and degree), rainfall, and low vegetation closure ratio in the watershed. Due to the high SDR, the fertile upper soil layers from the basins are carried to the streams. This causes both th...

Road corridors are the best places to observe changes related to succession and fragmentation in native vegetation in the mountainside. In the present study, carried out in the road corridors in the mountainside within the boundaries of Trabzon province in Turkey. It was aimed to define the vegetation visually and ecologically based on the native landscape features. While native plant compositions were ecologically defined, they were approached as an ecological corridor. Patch Analyses based on landscape metrics in the vegetation around this ecological corridor were carried out via GIS. As for visual studies, photographing, visualization and surveys were used to define the design elements and design principles of plant composition and the visual effects they had. Thus, come up in planting design, it was determined according to which design principle design elements came together and what kind of a visual effect appeared. In the final phase, the relationships between the values produced by ecological and visual parameters were stated. Consequently, some significant relationships were found out between patch analysis metrics and visual parameters, area metrics and potential effect of seasonal change of native compositions, habitat features and fragmentation values etc

The main cause of erosion in Turkey is the destruction of natural resources. The productivity function of lands is decreased due to the transported soil along with various minerals and organic matter, dams loss their functions long before their estimated economic life, and floods cause the loss of life and property. The negative effects of erosion on structures of natural areas can be diminished by landscape rehabilitation studies. Within the scope of this study, 855,716 ha area including Yelesen, Saban and Ortakoy villages in the Capakcur Microcatchment of the Bingol Province Central District was investigated and soil samples were collected. Landscape analysis was carried out for water, erosion and habitat functions, which are the most important components of the planning stage for the landscape rehabilitation studies. This study was also conducted to determine the erosion sensitivity and measures to be taken for a total of 855,716 ha land. The results showed that 11.68% (100,097 ha) of the study area is within the 1st degree sensitivity class, 5.24% (26,625ha) is in the 2nd degree sensitivity class, 16.15% (138,335ha) is in the 3rd degree of erosion sensitivity class and 69.03% (590,659 ha) is in 4th degree of sensitivity class. Plant growth, soil improvement, water quality, drainage, slope sensitivity and erosion status in the repaired areas should be periodically monitored after the completion of all operations. Fieldworks should be finalized with the completion and renewal planting following the erosion monitoring

In terms of yield and productivity, sandy soils are generally poor in terms of crop production and require good management in terms of plant production. Due to their large pores, they possess high water conduction capacities, however their water holding capacity is low. Water movement in these soils is formed as a result of directing by gravity and adhesive forces. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of walnut shell biochar (WS), farm manure (FM) and worm manure (VC) on the water movement in the horizontal and vertical direction in the soil. Soil was mixed with soil organic matter (SOM) at different doses (0%, 1%, 2%, 4% or 8%). Following the incubation period, water movement was observed in the soil irrigated with a constant debit. As a result of the research, it was determined that FM and VC applications increased the wetting distances in horizontal direction. In addition, increased doses of SOM increased the horizontal wetting distance (p <0.001). Similarly, increased doses of SOM were determined to decrease the wetting distance in the vertical direction.

Its importance has grown further with the increasing awareness of the rapidly depleting natural resources. Therefore, many official and private legal and natural entities started to view landscaping projects as a matter of prestige, self-expression and branding. Vakfikebir, a city located on the northeast coast of Turkey and one of the largest cities of Trabzon, is one of the cities putting forth efforts in pursuit of this goal. In search for creating opportunities for its residents to spend quality time near River Fol, a river flowing through the city, a landscaping project was commenced in response to the request of the Municipality of Vakfikebir. The most pronounced request of the Municipality was to repurpose this unused area for the use of the residents and create a distinct...

Kentleşme hızındaki bu artışın en önemli sonuçlarından biri de giderek azalmakta olan doğal kaynak değerlerin üzerinde oluşan baskıdır. Yatay düzlemlerin sahip oldukları ekonomik değer nedeniyle yeşil olmak için fazla “pahalı” bulunan kentler, bu nedenle ciddi anlamda yeşil altyapı eksikliği çekmektedirler. Öte yandan kent hayatı için yeşil altyapının ekolojik, sosyolojik ve ekonomik faydaları oldukça fazladır. Kentlerde oluşan talebin yeşil alanları ciddi bir baskı altında bırakmasının doğal bir sonucu olarak, yeşil alanların oluşturulması için alternatif arayışlara girişilmiştir. Yeşil çatı ve yeşil duvarlar akla gelen ilk çözümler olmuş, kentlerdeki yeşil altyapı eksikliği özellikle bu iki koldan giderilmeye çalışılmıştır. Doğal habitatların taklit edilmesiyle oluşturulan bu alanların sürdürülebilir bir biçimde yeşil altyapıyı desteklemesi için ciddi bir bilimsel bilgi eksikliği bulunmaktadır. Bu iki alan büyük oranda ekolojik isteklerinin sınırlı olması ile bilinen egzotik türlere terk edilmiş, bunun doğal bir sonucu olarak da doğal türlerin karşıladıkları ekolojik fonksiyonların yerine getirilmesinden ekstrem şartlara dayanıklılığa kadar önemli sorunlar ortaya çıkmıştır. İşte bu araştırma, kentsel alanlarda oluşturulacak düşey düzlemdeki yeşil dokular için önemli bir altyapıyı oluşturmayı hedeflemiş, bunun için de kendiliğinden gelişen yeşil düzlemlerdeki türleri referans alarak, bunların varlıklarını etkileyen ekolojik şartların belirlenmesine odaklanmıştır. Böylece endüstriyel yeşil duvarların yüksek bakım maliyetleri ve ekolojik isteklerine karşın, kendiliğinden duvarlara yerleşmiş, varlığını devam ettiren, dolayısıyla ekolojik ve ekonomik maliyeti sınırlı türlerin kentlerdeki yeşil duvarlara kazandırılması amaçlanmıştır. Trabzon ilinde kentsel ve kırsal 60 duvarın araştırma materyalini oluşturduğu bu çalışmada yıl boyu gerçekleştirilen alan incelemeleri ile duvarlarda bulunan bitkiler tespit edilmiş, farklı istatistiki sorgulamalarla bu bitkilerin bulundukları alandaki var oluş gerekçeleri ortaya konulmuştur. Bunun sonucunda kent alanlarında oluşturulabilecek düşük bakım ihtiyaçlı yeşil duvarlar için önemli bir adım atılmış, gelecekte yapılması muhtemel diğer araştırmalar için de öncü bir araştırma olma amacı güdülmüştür.
