Abstract
Areas with natural beauty and rich biodiversity have had a different significance for people since ancient times. With the latest developments in industry, technology, and urbanization, the demand for natural areas has increased considerably. Accordingly, the need to protect such private areas has become even more significant. In order to protect areas with such natural characteristics effectively, problems and threat factors must be correctly revealed. For this purpose; a study was conducted to determine the health status of some trees, which are natural monuments in the Eastern Black Sea Region of Türkiye, using the acoustic tomography method. The general appearance of six trees in the study area was examined, and measurements were made with the Arbor Sonic 3D Acoustic Tomography device. In the research, it was found that the trunk of one of the natural monument trees was hollow. The other five trees were found to be in good general condition. According to the results of the tomography, it was determined that one of the six trees measured was in good health, three of them had partial hollows and decay, and two of them were completely hollow. According to the data obtained, it has been revealed that the acoustic tomography method is an effective tool in determining the health status of nature monument trees.

Abstract
Doğal güzelliklere ve zengin biyolojik çeşitliliğe sahip alanlar, eski çağlardan beri insanlar için farklı bir öneme sahip olmuştur. Sanayi, teknoloji ve şehirleşmedeki son gelişmelerle birlikte doğal alanlara olan talep de oldukça artmıştır. Buna bağlı olarak bu tür özel alanların korunması ihtiyacı daha da önem kazanmıştır. Bu tür doğal özelliklere sahip alanların etkin bir şekilde korunabilmesi için sorunların ve tehdit faktörlerinin doğru bir şekilde ortaya çıkarılması gerekmektedir. Bu amaç için; Türkiye'nin Doğu Karadeniz Bölgesi'nde tabiat anıtı olan bazı ağaçların sağlık durumlarının akustik tomografi yöntemi kullanılarak belirlenmesi amacıyla bu çalışma yapılmıştır. Çalışma alanındaki 6 ağaç üzerinde hem doğrudan gözlemler yapılmış, hem de Arbor Sonic 3D Akustik Tomografi cihazı ile ölçümler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada tabiat anıtı ağaçların gövde, dal ve yaprak yapısının gözlemlenmesi sonuçlarına göre bir ağacın gövdesinin içi boş olduğu, diğer beş ağacın genel durumunun iyi olduğu belirlenmiştir. Tomografi sonuçlarına göre ise ölçümü yapılan 6 ağaçtan birinin sağlık durumunun iyi olduğu, üçünde kısmi oyuk ve çürüklük olduğu, ikisinde ise gövdesinde tamamen oyuk olduğu belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen verilere göre akustik tomografi yönteminin tabiat anıtı ağaçların sağlık durumunun belirlenmesinde etkili bir araç olduğu söylenebilir.
