Rangelands are basically one of the main feed resources for livestock. They are also important for watershed functions, biodiversity, and recreation. It is necessary to be known rangelands current status for their improvement and management. For this reason vegetation survey was conducted on the rangelands of Kayseri Province in year 2009. A modified wheel point method with loop was used for vegetation survey in the 60 representative survey sites of rangelands in Kayseri province. The results of this survey indicated that vegetation cover was detected as 57.85 %. The cover rates of decreasers and increasers in botanical composition were 12.62 % and 19.98 %, respectively. The numbers of sites determined as good, fair, and poor conditions were 1, 29, and 30, respectively. The 59 sites of total sites were identified as fair and poor in condition based on the rangeland condition classes. On the other hand, 26 sites were found as risky and 28 sites as unhealthy in health categories. These results show that rangelands are in fast degradation trend which should be immediately stopped and reversed to the original situation with available rehabilitation techniques for the improvement of rangelands.

Kayseri İli Mera Vejetasyonunun Belirlenmesi ve Değerlendirilmesi

Yıl 2013, Cilt: 22 Sayı: 2, 86 - 95, 01.06.2013

Meralar hayvan varlığımızın temel beslenme kaynaklarından biridir. Buna ilaveten meralar, su kaynağı olmaları, biyoçeşitliliğe sahip bulunmaları ve rekreasyon alanı olarak değerlendirilmeleri açısından önemlidir. Mera alanlarının ıslahı ve yönetimi için mevcut durumun belirlenmesi gereklidir. Bu nedenle Kayseri ili mera alanlarında 2009 yılında vejetasyon etüt çalışmaları yapılmıştır. İlin tüm meralarını temsil edecek 60 durak belirlenmiş ve lup ile modifiye edilmiş bir tekerlek nokta yöntemiyle vejetasyon etüdü yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda bitkiyle kaplı alan % 57.85 bulunmuştur. Azalıcı ve çoğalıcı bitki türleri oranları sırayla % 12.62 ve % 19.98 olarak saptanmıştır. İncelenen mera alanlarından iyi, orta ve zayıf durumda olanlar sırayla 1, 29 ve 30 adet olarak tespit edilmiştir. Vejetasyon etüdü yapılan toplam 60 mera durağından 59 tanesinin mera durumu orta ve zayıf, biri iyi olarak belirlenmiştir. Diğer taraftan mera sağlığı açısından yapılan sınıflamada 26 durak riskli ve 28 durak sorunlu olarak tespit edilmiştir. Bu sonuçlar ildeki meraların hızlı bozulma sürecinde olduğunu göstermekte olup bu süreç acilen durdurulmalı ve uygun mera yönetimi ve ıslahı çalışmaları ile orijinal yapısına döndürülmelidir.
