Temel SARIYILDIZ

Temel Sariyildiz is a Professor in the Department of Forest Engineering at the Faculty of Forestry, Bursa Technical University, Turkey. His research focuses on forest ecosystem dynamics with emphasis on carbon and nutrient cycling processes in forested wetlands, litter decomposition, and climate change impacts.

His primary research interests include:

• Forest litter dynamics in forest ecosystems
• Carbon and nutrient stocks in forested wetlands
• Effects of forest pests on carbon and nutrient cycling
• Impacts of climate change on forest ecosystems

With 70 publications and an h-index of 13, his recent work (2023-2025) investigates timber harvesting effects on soil respiration, species-specific carbon stocks in Karacabey floodplain forests, and saltwater intrusion impacts on coastal wetlands. Key findings demonstrate how slope gradients, thinning operations, and tree species composition (alder, ash, oak) regulate decomposition rates and carbon sequestration in Turkish ecosystems.
