Abstract

This
study was carried out in the Teke
Peninsula, in Cedrus libani A.
Rich. (Lebanon cedar), Juniperus sp.
(Juniper) and Quercus sp. (Oak) mixed
forest (Susuz
Dağ-Elmalı-Antalya),
which is located in the Mediterranean mountain ecosystem. The purpose of the
study is to determine the modern pollen distribution (density and percentage)
of this forest area in the transition zone and to create a basic calibration
scheme for the fossil pollen studies. For the purpose of this study, the
two-year modern pollen distribution was monitored between the years 2015-2017
using the Tauber pollen traps, which were placed at 6 different points in the study
area, and moss samples. Furthermore, the surface sediment sample of Lake Avlan
was obtained, and the accumulation
characteristic of the modern pollen distribution in the lake was revealed. The
majority of the pollen density and percentage belongs to arboreal taxa (AP) (Cedrus libani, Pinus sp., Quercus coccifera L., Juniperus sp.).
