During the study, 2950 samples were collected and 1559 of them were identified. The identification of these samples resulted 74 families, 386 genera and 922 taxa. The distribution of taxa by phytogeographic regions is as follows; Irano-Turanian elements 397 (43.1 %), Mediterranean elements 20 (2.2 %), Europe-Siberian elements 40 (4.3 %), East Mediterranean elements 14 (1.5 %), Euxine element 13 (1.4 %), Hyrcano-Euxine elements 3 (0.3 %), Sarmatian 1 (0.1 %), the cosmopolite or unknown distribution 434 (47.1 %). The number of endemic taxa is 150 (endemism ratio 16.3 %).

Çalışma, çoğunluğu 2014 yılında olması kaydıyla aralıklı olarak 2018 yılına kadar gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma alanı, Doğu Anadolu'daki Erzincan, Malatya, Elazığ ve Bingöl şehirleri arasında yer almaktadır. Çalışma alanın tamamı İran-Turan fitocoğrafik bölgesinde ve Davis'in Kareleme Sistemi'ne göre B7 ve B8 karelerinde bulunur. Çalışma boyunca toplanan 2950 örneğin 1559 tanesi teşhis edilmiştir. Bu örneklerin teşhis edilmesiyle, 74 familyaya ait 386 cins ve 922 takson bulunmuştur. Taksonların fitocoğrafik bölgelere göre dağılımı şöyledir; 397 (% 43.1)'si İran-Turan elementi, 20 (% 2.2)'si Akdeniz elementi, 40 (% 4.3)'ı Avrupa-Sibirya elementi, 14 (% 1.5)'ü Doğu Akdeniz elementi, 13 (1.4)'ü Karadeniz elementi, 3 (% 0.3)'ü Hirkanya-Karadeniz elementi, 1 (% 0.1)'i Sarmasya elementi, 434 (% 47.1)'ü kozmopolit veya fitocoğrafik bölgesi bilinmeyen. 150 takson endemiktir (endemizm oranı % 16.3).
