This study evaluates the ecological impacts of marble quarrying activities on local flora and fauna, with particular emphasis on habitat loss, vegetation degradation, and changes in species composition. The results indicate that intensive quarrying activities have caused substantial direct and indirect ecological disturbances, highlighting the need for effective rehabilitation and conservation strategies in quarry-affected landscapes.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Kavaklıdere İlçesi (Muğla, Türkiye) ve çevresindeki mermer ocağı alanlarında yürütülen kapsamlı floristik araştırmalar sonucunda, 43 bitki familyasına ait 161 tür ve alttür tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışma, mermer ocağı faaliyetlerinin yerel flora ve fauna üzerindeki ekolojik etkilerini; özellikle habitat kaybı, vejetasyonun bozulması ve tür kompozisyonundaki değişimler açısından değerlendirmektedir. Elde edilen bulgular, yoğun taş ocağı faaliyetlerinin belirgin doğrudan ve dolaylı ekolojik tahribatlara yol açtığını ortaya koymakta ve ocak faaliyetlerinden etkilenen alanlarda etkili rehabilitasyon ve koruma stratejilerinin gerekliliğine işaret etmektedir.</p></trans-abstract>
