The bryophytes in the protected Quercus coccifera macchia in East Mediterranean Region of Turkey: their life-form, habitat and substratum relations

Abstract

In the study, the bryophytes flora in the Quercus coccifera macchia protected for approximately 40 years in east Mediterranean part of Turkey was studied. During the floristic surveys, 9 species of 8 families belonging to Hepaticopsida and 47 taxa of 10 families belonging to Bryopsida in total 56 taxa was recorded. Eight different life-form types and nine different microhabitats belonging to these taxa were determined. Additionally the states leaning on the comparisons of the field observations and climatologic conditions of the bryophytes in the study area was determined according to microhabitat differentiations, life-form types, moisture desires, and substrata characteristics

Türkiye’nin Doğu Akdeniz Bölgesindeki Korunmuş Quercus coccifera Makiliğinin Biryofitleri: Hayat Formları, Habitatları, Substratları arasındaki ilişkiler

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’nin Doğu Akdeniz bölgesinde yaklaşık 40 yıldır korunan Quercus coccifera makisi içerisindeki biryofit florası çalışıldı. Araştırma boyunca Bryophyta bölümünün Hepaticae sınıfından 8 familyaya ait 9 takson ve Bryopsida sınıfından 10 familyaya ait 47 takson olmak üzere toplam 56 takson kaydedilmiştir. Bu taksonlar ait 9 farklı mikrohabitat ve 8 çeşit hayat formu tanımlandı. Ayrıca çalışma alanında kıyaslamalı iklimsel ve floristik gözlemlere dayanarak mikrohabitat ayrımları, hayat formu, nem istekleri ve substrat özelliklerine göre biryofitlerin maki içerindeki durumları tespit edildi
