Plant diversity of Ulugöl Natural Park Ordu/Turkey

Abstract

This study consists of the plant diversity of the Ulugöl which is 36 st Natural Park of Turkey. The research area is situated south of center Gölköy town of Ordu province in the A6 square. Approximately 310 plant specimens collected from the research area between 2010 and 2011. At the end of the study 98 genera, 124 species, belonging to 42 families have been determined. The distribution of the taxa phytogeographical regions are as follows; Euro-Siberian elements 44 35,4% , Irano-Turanien elements 4 3,2% Mediterranean elements 2 1,6% , Euxine 21 16,9% , Hyrcano-Euxine 3 2,4% , Cosmopolitan 1 0,8 % and Multiregionals 51 41,4% . When life forms of the plant taxa determined in the research area are checked, it can be seen in the following ratios: Hemicryptophytes 83 66,9% , Therophytes 19 15% , Geophytes 9 7,2% , Phanerophytes 9 7,2% , Chameophytes 3 2,4% and Hydrophytes 1 0,8% . Species appraised according to IUCN Red Data Categories IUCN, 2001 include 3 2,4% CR Critically Edangered taxon, 4 3,2% EN Endangered taxon, 4 3,2% VU Vulnerable taxon, 1 0,84% NT Near Threaneted taxon and 46 37% LC Least Concern taxon. 2 plants are endemic in the area

Ulugöl Tabiat Parkı Gölköy/Ordu ’nın bitki çeşitliliği

Abstract

Bu çalışma Türkiye’nin 36. Tabiat Parkı olan Ulugöl’ün bitki çeşitliliğinden oluşmaktadır. Araştırma alanı A6 karesinde yer alan Ordu İli’nin güneyinde bulunan Gölköy ilçesindedir. Araştırma alanından 2010-2011 yılları arasında yaklaşık 310 bitki örneği toplanmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda, 42 familyaya ait 98 cins, 124 tür belirlenmiştir. Toplanan taksonların fitocoğrafik bölgelere dağılım oranları; Avrupa-Sibirya Elementi 44 35,4% , İran-Turan Elementi 4 3,2% , Akdeniz Elementi 2 1,6% , Öksin Elementi 21 16,9% , Hirkan-Öksin Elementi 3 2,4% , Kozmopolit 1 0,8% ve birden fazla bölgesi olanlar 51 41,4% şeklindedir. Araştırma alnında belirlenen taksonların hayat formları aşağıdaki oranlarda belirlendi; Hemikriptofitler 83 66,9% , Terofitler 19 15,3% , Geofitler 9 7,2% , Fanerofitler 9 7,2% , Kamefitler 3 2,4% ve Hidrofitler 1 0,8% şeklindedir. Türlerin tehlike kategorilerine IUCN 2001 göre dağılımları ise; 3 2,4% CR Çok tehlikede , 4 3,2% EN Tehlikede , 4 3,2% VU Zarar görebilir taxon, 1 0,84% NT Tehlike altına girebilir ve 46 37% LC En az endişe verici takson şeklinde olup alanda bulunan taksonların 2tanesi endemiktir
