Abstract

In this study, the vertical change of epiphytic lichen species on Quercus robur was examined in Johansson zones based on frequency and cover values. A total of 20 epiphytic lichen species were determined from five trees. Total frequency and cover values of epiphytic lichen species show significant changes in Johansson regions. Beta diversity and Shannon diversity index values shows significant change with Johansson zone pairs. There is a significant difference in epiphytic lichen diversity between the Z1Z2 zone pair corresponding to the base and middle part of trunk on trees, and the Z4Z5 zone pair corresponding to the branches. Athallia pyracea, Catillaria nigroclavata, Physcia adscendens and Rinodina pyrina were positively correlated with Johansson zones, while Phaeophyscia orbicularis was negatively correlated with Johansson zones. A. pyracea is an indicator species especially for thin branches (Z5). P. adscendens is an indicator for Z4 and Ph. orbicularis is for the trunk part of the tree (Z1, Z2 and Z3).

Abstract

Bu çalışmada Quercus robur üzerindeki epifitik liken türlerinin Johansson zonlarındaki dikey değişimi frekans ve örtü değerlerine göre incelenmiştir. Beş ağaç üzerinden toplam 20 epifitik liken türü belirlendi. Epifitik liken türlerinin toplam frekans ve örtü değerleri Johansson bölgelerinde önemli değişiklikler göstermektedir. Beta çeşitliliği ve Shannon çeşitlilik indeksi değerleri Johansson bölge çiftleri ile anlamlı değişim göstermektedir. Ağaçlarda gövdenin taban ve orta kısmına karşılık gelen Z1Z2 bölge çifti ile dallara karşılık gelen Z4Z5 bölge çifti arasında epifitik liken çeşitliliği açısından önemli bir fark bulunmaktadır. Athallia pyracea, Catillaria nigroclavata, Physcia adscendens ve Rinodina pyrina Johansson zonları ile pozitif korelasyon gösterirken Phaeophyscia orbicularis Johansson zonları ile negatif korelasyon göstermektedir. A. pyracea özellikle ince dallar (Z5) için gösterge türdür. P. adscendens Z4 için gösterge ve Ph. orbicularis ağacın gövde kısmı (Z1, Z2 ve Z3) için gösterge türlerdir.
