Abstract

Ida Mountain presents a peculiar geographical structure in terms of the distribution of tree stands, like all the geographical differences on the north and south slopes with its location in the north of Edremit bay and with lying east-west direction roughly.Covering the area of ​​1823 km2 with its immediate surroundings, Ida Mountain's natural forest section forms approximately 60% of the area. In the natural forest area of ​​Ida Mountain, Pinus brutia, Pinus nigra, Quercus, Abies, Fagus and Castanea are found as pure tree communities, and related varieties formed by the combination of these species in different bulk densities. In the eco-geographic study of forest areas, the two most basic bioclimatic factors are: knowing the temperature and precipitation preferences of tree species and stands. In this study, monthly, seasonal and annual temperature and precipitation preferences of tree stands in Ida Mountain were obtained by modeling the temperature and precipitation data obtained from meteorological stations around Kazdagı. This case study aims to contribute to the future eco-geographical evaluations on the tree stands of Ida Mountain.
