本研究は、トルコの森林計画単位を対象に、回転期間と伐採規制戦略の組み合わせが炭素貯留と木材生産に与える影響をETÇAP DSSを用いて100年間シミュレーションした。長い回転期間と材積規制伐採は炭素貯留を最大化し、短い回転期間と面積規制伐採は木材生産を高めるが炭素とのトレードオフが強まることを示した。樹木サイズ動態は炭素蓄積量に影響するが、全体的なトレードオフパターンは変えなかった。
English
This study simulates 100 years of forest management in a Turkish planning unit using the ETÇAP DSS, examining how rotation length and harvest regulation affect carbon storage and timber production. Longer rotations and volume-control harvesting maximize carbon storage, while shorter rotations and area-control enhance timber but intensify trade-offs. Tree-size dynamics influence carbon accumulation magnitude but not overall patterns. Results are scenario-based and exclude disturbances like wildfire.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Forests provide essential ecosystem services, particularly timber production and carbon sequestration, both of which play critical roles in climate change mitigation and sustainable forest management. However, the long-term consequences of alternative management strategies on carbon-timber trade-offs remain insufficiently understood. This study addresses this gap by analysing the combined effects of rotation length, harvest regulation strategies, and tree-size dynamics on forest carbon storage and timber production using the ETÇAP decision support system (DSS). Four management scenarios were developed by combining short and long rotation periods with area-control and volume-control harvesting policies, while explicitly accounting for tree-size-dependent carbon dynamics. Simulations were conducted for a representative forest planning unit in Türkiye over a 100-year planning horizon. Results showed that longer rotations and volume-control harvesting consistently projected the largest increase in carbon storage by promoting the development and retention of larger trees, whereas shorter rotations and area-control harvesting enhanced timber production but intensified trade-offs with carbon sequestration. While tree-size dynamics influenced the magnitude of carbon accumulation, they did not substantially alter the overall trade-off patterns among management strategies. These results indicate that management decisions affecting age structure and harvesting regimes are important determinants of long-term carbon-timber outcomes. As the analysis is based on deterministic simulations that exclude major disturbance processes such as wildfire, pest outbreaks, and climate extremes, the results need to be interpreted as scenario-based projections. Nevertheless, the study highlights the value of integrating ecosystem-based forest management with decision support systems to systematically evaluate long-term management alternatives and support climate-informed forest planning.
