In research, the element contents and soil properties of soil samples from 5 different locations where the V. yurtkuranianum taxon naturally spread were analyzed and they were correlated with the number of individuals in the locations. The soil properties in locations were determined to be clayey, low-medium calcareous, and moderately rich in organic matter. In this study dated 2023, it was determined that the total number of individuals with flowers or rosette leaves in 5 populations of V. yurtkuranianum naturally spread in Ericek location was 235, 216 of them had rosette leaves and 19 of them had flowers. The highest number of individuals with rosette leaves was found in location V, and the highest number of individuals with flowers was found in location I. At the same time, it was observed that the total number of individuals was highest in the region between the road and the shore of the pond located on the southeastern shore of Ericek province, which is the location V. considering that V. yurtkuranianum, a locally endemic species, is at risk due to human activities, we believe that the results obtained will provide important findings for the conservation studies of the species. KW - Biological diversity KW - Bursa KW - Local Endemic KW - Soil Properties KW - Verbascum yurtkuranianum N2 - Verbascum yurtkuranianum Bursa İli, Gürsu İlçesi, Ericek köyü’nde bulunan lokal endemik bir türdür. Araştırmada, V. yurtkuranianum taksonunun doğal yayılış gösterdiği Ericek köyü mevkiinde 5 farklı lokasyona ait toprak örneklerinin element içerikleri ve toprak özellikleri analiz edilmiş olup lokasyonlarda bulunan birey sayılarıyla da ilişkilendirilmiştir. Lokasyonlardaki toprak özelliklerinin; killi, az-orta kireçli, organik madde açısından ise orta-zengin özellikte olduğu belirlenmiştir. 2023 yılına ait bu çalışmada V. yurtkuranianum’un Ericek mevkinde doğal yayılış gösterdiği 5 popülasyonundaki çiçekli veya rozet yapraklı birey sayılarının 235 olduğu, bunlardan 216 tanesinin rozet yapraklı, 19 tanesinin ise çiçekli bireyler olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Rozet yapraklara sahip bireylerin V. lokasyonda en yüksek sayıda, çiçekli bireylerin ise I. lokasyonda en yüksek sayıda bulunmuştur. Aynı zamanda toplam birey sayısının V. lokasyon olan Ericek Göleti'nin güneydoğu kıyısında yer alan Gölet kıyısı ile yol arasındaki bölgede en yüksek sayıda olduğu gözlenmiştir. Lokal endemik bir tür olan V.m yurtkuranianum’un insan faaliyetleri nedeniyle risk altında olduğu düşünüldüğünde, elde edilen sonuçların, türün koruma çalışmaları için önemli bulgular sağlayacağı kanısındayız.
