Résumé : | Düzlerçamı Pilot Site is a sub-district forest unit located inside the Antalya Regional Directorate of Forestry in Turkey with 17,688 ha of forested and 11,480 ha of unforested area. Like all forested areas in Turkey, forests of Düzlerçamı are state owned and managed by the General Directorate of Forestry of the Ministry of Forestry and Water Affairs. The site hosts diverse ecosystem goods and services: recreation, biodiversity protection, wood production, carbon sequestration, and generates different benefits to society. In this project we aimed at assessing the socio-economic value of goods and services provided by the forest ecosystem in the Düzlerçamı Pilot Site, to support effective decision-making and strengthen actions to support the sustainable management of these ecosystems. Studies towards valuation of ecosystem goods and services are unfortunately rare in Turkey. Furthermore, cases where valuation assessments are incorporated into natural resources management practices and decision-making processes are even rarer. In the framework of this project, the primary ecosystem goods and services present in the forest ecosystem of the Düzlerçamı Pilot Site were identified and valuated. Despite the methodological and data limitations, goods and services such as wood production (16.15 /ha/year), biodiversity protection (4.57 /ha/year), recreation and tourism (18.73 /ha/year) and carbon sequestration (59.74 /ha/year) were valuated for the first time in the Düzlerçamı Pilot Site. Furthermore, both the impact of a local management decision (opening a new recreation spot to respond to increasing local demand), and the impact of a change driven at the global level (climate change) have been assessed on the primary ecosystem goods and services. The outcomes of this study have shown that opening a new recreation spot over 29 years have yielded profitable results for all of the relevant parties. Among the different alternatives explored to assess the impact of changes in certain parameters and discount rates through the sensitivity analysis, only a reduction in the expected number of the visitors coming to the new recreation spot by 65% gave negative results, in all other alternatives tested the investment remained profitable socially. The Cost Benefit Analysis also highlighted the detrimental impact of climate change on the ecosystem goods and services provided by the Düzlerçamı forest ecosystem. A hypothetical 1% decrease in the annual increment rate of trees due to climate change was estimated to cause a cost of 114 /ha over 29 years to the global community, due to a decrease in the carbon sequestration service and a decrease in the harvest of wood products. |
