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 Mountains 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 Mt. Ida. This case study aims to contribute to the future eco-geographical evaluations on the tree stands of Ida Mountain.

Summary
Ida Mountain (Mt. Ida) is located in the north of the Gulf of Edremit, in the northwest part of Turkey. Due to its lying east-west direction roughly, Mt. Ida is an exclusive topography and an area of high ecological importance. Kaz. Mountain is located at the intersection areas of the European-Siberian, Mediterranean and Iranian-Turanian flora regions, and inholds auxin vegetation spread in its valleys and slopes. Euro-Siberian elements consisting 18% of the area are common on the northern and eastern slopes, while Mediterranean elements which consist 24% of the area with vegetation are common on the southern slopes and summits. As for the Iran-Turan elements consist 14% of it (Özel ve Gemici, 2001)
