For this purpose, a total of 76 soil samples were taken from two different depths (0-20 and 20-40 cm) and 38 points, representing the large soil groups of Siverek county of Şanliurfa. Texture, pH, salt, lime, organic matter and available boron contents of the soils were determined in the samples. The results of the research show that the pH contents of soils is between 6.91-7.98; salt content is between 0.02-0.13%; clay content is between 24.32-67.76%; sand content is between 2.40-62.96%; silt content is between 6.00-68.72%; lime content is between 0.38-14.55%; organic matter content is between 1.11-3.35% and boron content of them is between 0.01-1.99 ppm. The obtainable boron content of the large soil groups of Siverek county of Şanliurfa province was found to be 65.38% too little , 26.32% little, 7.90% adequate at the depth of 0-20 cm, whereas it was found to be 81.58% too little, 15.79% little and 2.63% sufficient at 20-40 cm depth. It was determined that there is a positive significant relationship between the obtainable boron content of soil and pH and lime contents. In addition, significant positive relationships between pH content and silt and lime were determined. Not only a negative significant relation between clay content and silt content of soils was determined, but negatively significant relations between sand content and silt and organic matter were determined, as well. At the same time, positive correlations were determined between the lime content of the soils and the organic matter.00","PeriodicalId":197799,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Journal of Forest Science","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121247056","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}

Also, leaf analysis results show that the plant's nutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg) are inadequate or below the limit values. However, the contents of micronutrients (Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu) remained within their limits.

This study was conducted to evaluate natural resilience capacity status of the soil’s physical, chemical and hydrological features exposed to low severity ground wildfire after three years in the Bulutoglu village, Kahramanmaras. Particle size distribution, soil reaction (pH), electrical conductivity (EC), organic matter content (OM), dispersion ratio (DR), moisture content (MC), field capacity (FC), colloid/moisture equivalent (CM), particle density (PD), bulk density (BD) and porosity ratio (PR) analysis were performed on two groups of soils (burned and unburned counterpart). The environmental sensitivity index (ESI) include soil, vegetation, climate, and management quality of the study area was determined by MEDALUS methodology. According to the results, there is no environmental sensitivity in the study area. It was determined that the negative effects of soil properties improved significantly after three years from the wildfire except for the PR and BD values. There was no statistically significant difference between the analyzed two soil samples groups. It was concluded that the difference between the bulk density and porosity ratios is not only due to the effects of the fire but also with grazing pressure, especially on the unburned area. According to the results, the burned area suffered from low severity ground wildfire has substantially been naturally rehabilitated itself within th ree years. Environmentally sensitivity (ESI) of the study area was a play an important role in the recovery of soil features.

In the sample plots, soil profiles were dug and soil sampling was performed according to genetic soil horizons. The location factors of the sample plots in the field were determined, and d 0.30 diameter, d 0.30 age and upper height were measured in 4-6 trees with upper stand height. The site productivity (site index) was determined based on the correlation between standard age and upper stand height. Physical and chemical soil analyses were performed in the soil samples taken. The correlations between the productivity indexes (site index) of the sample plots and the local ecological characteristics of the site were tested by correlation analysis. Positive correlations were determined between site index and the land slope degree and altitude. There are negative correlations between soil properties of average amount of clay, average amount of silt, field capacity, fine soil weight, soil reaction, and site index, while there are positive correlations between horizon A h 's organic matter, average amount of sand, physiological soil depth, skeleton weight and site index.","PeriodicalId":197799,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Journal of Forest Science","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129083888","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}

Within the scope of the study, a small piece was taken from each of the nine poles of Buyuk Ocak Djemevi and six poles of Kucuk Ocak Djemevi. Identification results showed that the trees of the poles used in the construction of djemevies were mulberry ( Morus L. sp.), white oak ( Quercus L. sect. Quercus ), ash ( Fraxinus L. sp., poplar ( Populus L. sp.), pine ( Pinus L.). sp.) and wild pear ( Pyrus sp.). The most commonly used trees were found to be mulberry, poplar and ash, and the same kind of trees were also used in the roofs of the djemevies. Poplar is also an important tree used in historical buildings in the region. The trees used in djemevies are the trees that grow in the region. Within the identified trees, pine (Scotch pine) is natural in the Sivas-Erzincan line in the region and it is thought to be brought from this region along the Euphrates. According to our findings, these types of the woods used in the djemevies were also preferred in the buildings of Kemaliye and Arapgir.
