Contributions to the Flora of Şahinler Natural Park (Kızılcahamam/Ankara)
Abstract
Şahinler Natural Park is one of the 262 natural parks in Turkiye and was studied to identify its flora. Şahinler Natural Park is threatened by rapid population growth and rapidly expanding human activities, like all other natural areas. Accordingly, it is important to know and protect existing plant species in the Şahinler Natural Park. The study area is within the boundaries of the Kizilcahamam District of Ankara. According to P.H. Davis’s grid system, it is located in the A4 square and Irano-Turanian phytogeographic region. The altitude of the study area varies between 1450 and 1500 m. The general vegetation of the area consists of forests and glades. As a result of the evaluation of the samples collected from the study area, 112 species and sub-species taxa belonging to 84 genera were identified from 40 families. 10 of these taxa are endemic and the endemism ratio is 8.9%. According to the information and data obtained from the List of Threatened Plant Species, the conservation status of 7 species in the area was evaluated. Accordingly, there are 4 species evaluated in the LC (Low Risk) category, 1 species in the NT (Near Threatened) category, 1 species in the VU (Vulnerable) category, and 1 species in the CD (Subject to Conservation) category. When evaluated according to the red book of Turkish plants, 14 taxa were determined to be in the LC category, 1 taxon was determined to be in the NT category, and 2 taxa were determined to be in the VU category. The study area was evaluated according to the EUNIS Habitat classification criteria.
