Character Species of Swamp Forests with Different Disturbance Levels in Türkiye

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the character plant species of flooded forests located in different localities in the Black Sea and Marmara Region. These forests are Samsun Hacıosman Water Basar Forest, Sinop Sarıkum Water Basar Forest, Sakarya Hendek-Süleymaniye Water Basar Forest and Kırklareli İğneada Water Basar Forest. Six 20 x 20 m sample plots were placed in each flooded forest. The cover-abundance levels of the identified species were determined according to the Braun-Blaunqet method and the Phi (Φ) coefficient, and the fidelity degree of each species was also determined according to the Braun-Blaunqet and Phi (Φ) coefficient. The number of character types detected is as follows: 16 species were identified in Hacıosman Forest, 12 in Sarıkum Forest, 14 in Hendek-Süleymaniye Forest, and 30 in İğneada Forest. As a result, it was found that character species gradually decreased in localities where destruction was high.

Türkiye'deki Farklı Tahribat Dereceli Su Basar Ormanların Karakter Türleri

Abstract

Bu çalışmada Karadeniz ve Marmara Bölgesi’nde farklı lokalitelerde bulunan su basar ormanların karakter bitki türlerinin belirlemesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu ormanlar Samsun Hacıosman Su Basar Ormanı, Sinop Sarıkum Su Basar Ormanı, Sakarya Hendek-Süleymaniye Su Basar Ormanı ve Kırklareli İğneada Su Basar Ormanı’dır. Her bir su basar ormanda altışar adet 20 x 20 m büyüklüğünde örnek parseller yerleştirilmiştir. Belirlenen türlerin örtüş-bolluk dereceleri Braun-Blaunqet metoduna ve Phi (Φ) katsayısına göre tespit edilmiş olup ayrıca her bir türün sadakat derecesi Braun-Blaunqet ve Phi (Φ) katsayısına göre belirlenmiştir. Tespit edilen karakter türlerin sayısı sırasıyla; Hacıosman Ormanı’nda 16, Sarıkum Ormanı’nda 12, Hendek-Süleymaniye Ormanı’nda 14 ve İğneada Ormanı’nda ise 30 tür tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak tahribatın fazla olduğu lokalitelerde karakter türlerin giderek azaldığı bulunmuştur.
