A GENERAL SURVEY OF THE VEGETATION OF NORTH - EASTERN ANATOLIA

Abstract

Turkey is one of the countries subjected to the intense erosion in the World. According to the data, at least more than 50 per cent o f the total land of Turkey has been prevailed to the soil and the parent material erosion of several types. 

The amount of total suspense sediments transported by the rivers are about 380 million tons / year. Europe is 13 times bigger than Turkey and the yearly transported sediments are nearly 320 million tons. The annually average sediment yields of the watershed area o f Turkey is more than 600 tons/km2 or 1600 tons/mi2. This figure is very high when compared to the other countries and continents of the World. Namely the measured and estimated sediment yields o f the contitents such as Africa, Europe and Australia appear to be very low, averaging 70, 90 and 115 tons per square mile/each year, respectively. North America has the lowest with 160 tons per square mile; South America is a moderate sediment producer with 245, and the highest producer o f sediment is Asia with 1530 tons/ mi2. These data clearly indicates that severe or intense erosion, transportation and sedimantation events have been continuing in Turkey. 

This article has been prepared in order to explain the erosion, transportation and modem sedimantation in Turkey.
