Abstract
The aim of this study is to ascertain the degradation which is effective on logs in forest enterprise depots and to determine the effects of it on log stack sale prices. The research was carried out at Central Altinpinar forest depot of Torul Forest Enterprise Management in Trabzon Regional Forest Management in 2010. As a material, 41 stacks of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) logs were investigated and cross section of wood were measured for exposure to blue stain. Investigated timber stacks, with respect to damaged log number and volume degradation groups, are compared for sales prices and rate of appraised value. As a result, it has been found out that the degradation of blue stain at log stacks decreased the rate of appraised value and sale prices.
