Abstract

Antropojenik etkiler ile doğal alanların gün geçtikçe değişime zorlandığı günümüzde, yaşam alanı bulmaya çalışan en önemli canlılar polinatörlerdir (tozlayıcılar). Günümüzde küresel ısınmanın yıkıcı etkileri kentsel alanlarda da etkisini göstermektedir. Bu bağlamda doğanın sürdürülebilirliğini destekleyen planlama ve tasarım yaklaşımları önem kazanmaktadır. Polinasyonu destekleyici bitkilendirme stratejileri bu konuda çözüm alternatifleri sunmaktadır. Kentsel yeşil alanların bir parçası olan üniversite yerleşkeleri kullanıcılarına sağladığı rekreatif fırsatların yanı sıra sahip oldukları birçok doğal ve egzotik bitki türü ile polinatörlere yaşam alanı ve besin kaynakları sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Artvin Çoruh Üniversitesi Hopa ve Arhavi yerleşkeleri örnek alanlar olarak seçilmiş ve saha çalışmaları sonucunda tespit edilen 95 odunsu bitki taksonunun genel özellikleri, polinatör çekme özellikleri (polen, nektar, salgı) ve çiçeklenme dönemleri incelenmiştir. Yerleşke alanlarında bulunan bitkilerin polinasyon özellikleri değerlendirildiğinde, 59 taksonun hem polen hem de nektar kaynağı oluşturarak birçok polinatör için besin sağladığı belirlenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda polinatörler için önemli barınma ve üreme ortamları sunan odunsu peyzaj bitkilerinin polinasyon süreçlerini destekleyici özellikleri ve sağladıkları katkılar ortaya koyulmuştur.

Investigation of University Campus Plants in Terms of Supporting Pollination Processes

Abstract

In today’s world, where natural areas are being forced to change day by day due to anthropogenic impacts, pollinators are the most important creatures trying to find a habitat. Today, the devastating effects of global warming are also affecting urban areas. In this context, planning and design approaches that support the sustainability of nature are gaining importance. Planting strategies that support pollination offer solution alternatives in this regard. University campuses, which are a part of urban green spaces, offer habitat and food resources to pollinators with their many natural and exotic plant species as well as the recreational opportunities they provide to their users. In this study, the Hopa and Arhavi campuses of Artvin Çoruh University were selected as sample areas, and the general characteristics, pollinator-attracting properties (pollen, nectar, secretion), and flowering periods of 95 woody plant taxa identified as a result of field studies were examined. When the pollination properties of the taxa examined, it was determined that 59 taxa provided food for many pollinators by serving as both pollen and nectar sources. As a result of the study, the pollination-supporting properties and contributions of woody landscape plants, which offer important habitats and breeding environments for pollinators, were revealed.
