ABSTRACT
This study presents the optimum
cutting ages in Turkish pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) plantations
including timber production and carbon sequestration values in Turkey. Four
different growing spaces are considered. The study also evaluates the effects
of different discount rates and carbon prices on the optimum cutting ages using
net present value approach. The growth and yield curves, biomass equations and
carbon conversion factors as well as forest plantation costs and timber
assortments revenues for Turkish pine plantations are used to determine the
optimum cutting ages. The results of the case study showed that the integration
of carbon sequestration benefits into timber production increased the optimum
cutting ages of Turkish pine plantations for each growing spaces in order to
sequester more carbon. The optimum cutting ages decreased depending on the
increase in discount rates. When carbon prices increased the optimum cutting
ages also increased.

ABSTRAK
Kajian ini membentangkan umur tebangan
yang optimum di ladang pain Turki (Pinus brutia Ten.) termasuk nilai
pengeluaran kayu dan pensekuesteran karbon di Turki. Empat
ruang pertumbuhan berbeza diambil kira. Kajian ini juga menilai kesan
perbezaan kadar diskaun dan harga karbon pada umur memotong
optimum menggunakan pendekatan nilai bersih terkini. Faktor lengkung
pertumbuhan dan hasil, persamaan biojisim dan penukaran karbon serta kos ladang hutan dan pelbagai hasil kayu untuk ladang pain
Turki digunakan untuk menentukan umur tebangan yang optimum. Keputusan
daripada kajian kes menunjukkan bahawa manfaat integrasi pensekuesteran karbon
ke dalam pengeluaran kayu meningkatkan umur tebangan optimum ladang pain Turki
bagi setiap ruang pertumbuhan untuk sekuester karbon yang lebih banyak. Umur tebangan optimum menurun bergantung kepada peningkatan dalam kadar diskaun. Apabila harga karbon
meningkat, umur optimum juga meningkat.
