Özet:

In parallel with the developments in technology and population growth, the longing for nature in our unplanned and unhealthy developing cities is increasing. In this context, urban green areas and trees which are the most important and dominant elements of these areas are important for balancing the relationship between human and nature and for improving urban living conditions. The aim of this study is to determine the benefits and functions and the creation of an inventory of urban trees which were in Ataturk Boulvard in Konyaaltı district of Antalya province. Within the scope of the study, 388 trees in the central refuge of 6.3 km length of Atatürk Boulevard were identified. Species were grouped as being natural and exotic. Observations and measurements (species and age of tree, tree height, crown crown width, tree form, unbranched body height, tree defects, tree health status, loss of crown cover etc.) were taken. The obtained data werewere transferred to i-Tree Eco software and total biomass values, carbon storage values were calculated on the basis of species and trees. According to the inventory study in Ataturk Boulevard central refuge, 388 trees was belonging to 9 species; 29.6% of the species were identified as Liquidambar orientalis, 26.5% as Phoenix dactylifera, and 14.1% as Ficus retusa “Nitida”. It has been determined that native and exotic species were used together and 45% of the species is native and 55% is composed of exotic species. It was estimated by i-Tree Eco software that the trees in the boulevard had a leaf area of approximately 65,325 m2, providing a total of 48.5 tons/year of carbon storage. when species are listed in terms of carbon storage Robinia preudoacacia takes the first place, followed by Ficus retusa “Nitida” and Liquidambar orientalis.
