Area of study: The Tepeören cemetery is one of the oldest and most historically important cemeteries in the Istanbul region. Material and methods: Field studies of birds were carried out between April-September 2018/2019. During the study period of 12 months, the cemetery was visited twice a month. The species list of the area was created by registering all feeding, lodging, roosting and nesting birds observed in the area. Main results: It was determined that 36 bird species occured in the cemetery, out of which ten species were identified as breeding in the area. The main bird species that used the cemetery as breeding ground, was Corvus monedula (Western jackdaw) that utilizes the cavities of old oaks for nesting. The average number of eggs per nest was found to be 4.3 based on the examination of 49 active nests in 2018-2019. The number of fledged birds per nest was determined as 1.1. Higlights: In the current study, the importance of the city cemeteries in terms of bird diversity has been revealed. The presence of plant species that provide suitable nesting conditions for the reproduction of birds in these cemeteries supports the survival of the birds in the city.","PeriodicalId":17816,"journal":{"name":"Kastamonu University Journal of Forestry Faculty","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135368456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, conflicts exist with park managers and rustic communities hosting the park. The need to regulate utilization of forest resources by man to ensuring peaceful coexistence becomes necessary.
 Area of study: Okomu National Park, Edo State, Nigeria was the study area. 
 Material and methods: One hundred and fifty respondents from host communities and 20 staff of Okomu National Park were randomly selected and structured questionnaire administered to them. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
 Main results: Most (86.0%) of community member were aware of law guiding park but were adamant (40.0%) regardless of awareness creation by park officers (80.0%). Destruction of farms by fauna and inability of park managers to fulfill their social responsibilities (20.0%) (Staff) and inability of park to carry out social responsibility (20.0%) (communities) were the major conflict sources. Dialog (26.0%) and intensive support zone programme (20.0%) were suggested by community and staff respectively for peaceful coexistence.
 Highlights: Conflicts were evident between host communities and park management. The underlying cause is deprivation of host communities from accessing resources and parks manager inability to fulfill their social responsibilities.

Material and methods: First, a solvent system consisting of 33 g TBAF and 165 g DMSO was prepared for 10 g dissolving pulp in this solvent system for one hour, then the cellulose solution was generated. The catalysts were added to the solution. At reaction temperature, vinyl acetate was added to the solution and the 70-h transesterification process was started. The product was precipitated in ethyl alcohol and washed with water on a sieve, and then dried at room temperature. The effects of changes in catalyst ratio and temperature on bond acetyl groups were investigated by heterogeneous saponification method, FTIR, XRD, DSC, viscosity and solubility test. Main results: The samples' DS values ranged from 1.39 to 2.37 and using phosphate salt mixture catalyst and increasing the ratio of catalyst increased the DS. FTIR and XRD data revealed that acetylation was effective. DSC thermograms showed a minor endotherm at 283.3-291.2°C, and it was identified as the melting point.

 Area of study: This study was carried outto characterize and prioritize the streams of the Gumushane upper Harşit micro-watershed using a GIS-based spatial approach. 
 Material and methods: Fundamental watershed characteristics including drainage density, slope, land use types, and stream class were evaluated and interpreted for the Gumushane micro-watershed. Calculatea comprehensive value for each parameter, drainage density (Dd), flow frequency (Fs), slope (S), length of land flow (Lg), and land use (Lu) was used.
 Main results: The drainage density, stream flow frequency, and form factor of the microwatershed are from -4 to 26. Finally, the weighted rankings were summarized, and all micro-watersheds were categorized to five classes based on the risk index as very low risk, low risk, medium risk, high risk, and very high risk. This risk map overlaid to land use type maps in GIS where risk areas were evaluated in the finalrisk results. The 739 ha productive forest area within very high-risk areas was changed to non-risk parameters.

The changes in these parameters due to global warming threaten vitality and affect the use of space and quality of life in cities. The study aimed to model the evolution of bioclimatic comfort zones with the effect of climate change in the research area.

This paper aimed to assess burned areas and severity levels in Sikkim's forest fire incidence data from 2004-2019. Area of the study: The study area for the work is the state of Sikkim, situated in the Himalayan Mountain's North-eastern region. Material and methods: Landsat 8 and Landsat 5 satellite image were used for the study and Standard vegetation indices like Delta Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR) and Relativized Burn Ratio (RBR) are computed. Also, a linear regression analysis was performed between weather parameters like temperature (℃), wind (Km/h), rainfall (mm) on burn severity (dNBR classes) of forest fires in Sikkim between the year 2009-2019. Main results: According to the findings, out of 557 numbers forest fire incidents in Sikkim between 2004 and 2019, 250 numbers were classified as Unburned (46.21 %), 199 numbers as Enhanced Regrowth, Low (35.72 %), and 43 numbers as Enhanced Regrowth, High (7.94 %), while 32 numbers were classified as Low Severity (5.92 %), 9 numbers as Moderate-Low Severity (1.66 %), 5 numbers as Moderate-High Severity (0.92 %), and 2 numbers as High Severity (0.36 %). It was found that the wind (r=0.80, Slope=0.57, SD=0.70) and rainfall (r=0.77, Slope=-0.18, SD=7.00) showed a strong positive and strong negative linear relationships respectively in influencing the burn severity (dNBR). While, temperature (r=0.69, Slope=0.74, SD=0.01) plays a moderate positive role in influencing the burn severity (dNBR).
