  2. Foundation of ForestryResearchInstitutes • FirstForestryResearchInstitutewasestablished in 1952 • At present, thereare 11 ForestryResearchInstitutes UNFF9, New York 2011 2

  3. Task of Forestry Research Institutes • To prepare and carry out research projects according to regional site characteristics for: • Solving forestry problems • Increasing productivity in forestry sector • Searching and improving new methods to increase quality • To provide technical assistance to forestry sector • To make cooperation/ technology and information transfer with other national and international research institutes, • To organize conferences, seminars, training programmes UNFF9, New York 2011 3

  4. Forestry Research Institutes • Research institutes working on a regional basis • Central Anatolia Forestry Research Institute ANKARA 1955 • Southwest Anatolia Forestry Research Institute ANTALYA 1958 • Eastern Blacksea Forestry Research Institute TRABZON 1959 • Western Blacksea Forestry Research Institute BOLU 1965 • Eastern Mediterranean Forestry Research Institute TARSUS 1967 • Eastern Anatolia Forestry Research Institute ERZURUM 1967 • Aegean Forestry Research Institute İZMİR 1977 • Southeastern Anatolia Forestry Research Institute ELAZIĞ 1977 • Research institutes working nation-wide • Poplar and Fast Growing Forest Trees Research Institute İZMİT 1962 • Forest Tree Seeds and Tree Breeding Research Institute ANKARA 1969 • Forest Soil and Ecology Research Institute ESKİŞEHİR 1999 UNFF9, New York 2011 4

  11. Main Research Fields of FRIs Seed and Tree Breeding Silviculture Forest Protection(forest fire, insect, other pathogens) Erosion control Forest Economics, Forest Yield and Growth Social Forestry Non-wood forest products Climate Change and Carbon Sequestration Watershed management Forest Policy UNFF9, New York 2011

  12. Forest research project ,Tree Breeding To increase wood production, to study on poplar and fast growing forest tree species, poplar institutes was established at İzmit in 1967 Poplar Wood Production reached 3 million m3 in 2000, while it was 300 thousand m3 in 1950. There are approximately 90.000 hektares of exotic poplar clone plantations in our country Most Widely-used clone is I-214 The SAMSUN (I-77/51) UNFF9, New York 2011

  13. Forest research project ,Tree Breeding Annual increments: I-214 Clone, 23 m3/ha/year SAMSUN Clone, 28 m3/ha/year IZMIT Clone, 33,5 m3/ha/year UNFF9, New York 2011

  14. Training program Training program for poplar growers UNFF9, New York 2011

  16. Forestry Research ProjectTree breeding Forest tree seeds and tree breeding Research Directorate was established to improve native species such as Pinus brutia Seed source planning The selection of seed stands Establishing seed orchards Clonal seed orchards are being planted UNFF9, New York 2011

  17. Forestry Research Project-Tree Breeding Number of Seedstands: 226 (46.390 hectares) Plustrees Climbing into the crown by safety belt and spurs Number of Pinusbrutiaclonalseedorchards is 168 (1.159 hectare) Grafts Grafted seedling UNFF9, New York 2011

  18. Forest research project ,Tree Breeding Progenytrials • Requiredforestablishmentof seedorchardswithgeneticallysuperiorfamilies • Pinusbrutia • 16 trials, 1400 entries, 70 hektare • Pinussylvestris • 2 trials, 7 ha UNFF9, New York 2011

  21. Provenances Trials The main aim of the provenances trail is to determine the best performing provenances for forestations, each geographic zone in Turkey. Turkish Forest Research Institutes are carrying out 5 provenances trials1- Red Pine (Pinusbrutia Ten ) 2- Taurus Cedar (Cedruslibani A. Rich ) 3-Turkish Pine (Pinusnigra) 4- Scotch Pine (Pinussylvestis L.) 5- Provenance Trial of Stone Pine (PinuspineaL.) (in Mediterranean region) Firstestablished in 1984 UNFF9, New York 2011

  33. ICP Forests Laboratory • According to the project a reference laboratory has been constructed as a part of Ege Forestry Researc ICP Forests Project in Izmir. • This laboratory is going to be capable of measuring many parameters from soil, plant and water samples in relation to fertility and pollution. • The laboratory will regularly be subjected to a number of international comparison tests, i.e. international ring tests."
