Current Status and the Last Locations of Turkey’s Native Buxus species (Buxus sempervirens L. and Buxus balearica Lam.) Under Threats

Abstract

We investigated the current status and the last locations of Turkey’s native Buxus species under threats especially with boxwood moth (Cydalima perspectalis) in detail throught the country for the first time. Within the scope of the studies, detailed field and survey studies were carried out to determine the latest status of existing boxwood existence in regions and provinces. The study was carried out in 26 (the existence of boxwood is definitely 23 provinces, 3 provinces are thought to be boxwood) provinces. According to the results obtained from field studies conducted in 23 provinces, 59 districts and 195 locations for which boxwood presence information was obtained, it was determined that boxwood remained in 29 locations in 15 provinces and 23 districts. With these results, it was determined that Turkey's boxwood presence has decreased by 85%, and only 15% of the presence of boxwood remains. Due to the continuing effect of the boxwood moth, it is under serious threat in the remaining locations. The last remaining locations of Turkey’s native Buxus species under threats were determined and described in this first pionering research study on this matter. We suggest urgent studies for the protection of boxwood genetic reseources in Turkey.
