The Identification of Similar Ecological Areas in Accordance with Climatic and Topographical Factors for Pasture Vegetation Studies
Abstract
Ecological factors such as primarily climate, topography and soil has a great influence on the diversity, performance and quality of vegetation. In this respect, the field of study was divided into similar ecological areas by utilizing altitude, aspect, and aridty index parameters to conduct pasture vegetation studies properly. Some climatical parameters such as precipitation, temperature, relative humidity, light exposure, wind speed and evapotranspiration ,calculated in accordance with Penman-Monteith method, which were obtained from 264 weather station, were used in this study. Surface dispersion maps of climate parameters were composed by using Anuspline method. Aridty index was calculated using long years total annual precipitation and evaporation values, and re-classified into three groups. Using SRTM digital land model, elevation groups and aspect of the study area were generated. Elevation differences were grouped into four groups and aspect were reclassified into three groups. Aridty index layers and topographic layers were combined and 27 ecological areas were obtained.

Mera Vejetasyon Etüdleri için İklim ve Topoğrafik Faktörlere Göre Benzer Ekolojik Bölgelerin Belirlenmesi
Abstract
Bitki örtüsünün çeşitliliği, verimi ve kalitesinde başta iklim olmak üzere topografya ve toprak gibi ekolojik faktörlerin etkisi büyüktür. Bu kapsamda, mera vejatasyon etüdlerinin daha sağlıklı yapılabilmesi için çalışma alanı; yükseklik, bakı ve kuraklık indisi parametreleri kullanılarak benzer ekolojik alanlara ayrılmıştır. Türkiye’deki 264 meteoroloji istasyonundan elde edilen yağış, sıcaklık, nispi nem, ışıklanma şiddeti ve rüzgâr hızı ile Penman-Monteith yöntemine göre hesaplanan evapotransprasyon parametreleri kullanılmıştır. İklim verilerinin, Anuspline yöntemi kullanılarak yüzey dağılım haritaları oluşturulmuştur. Uzun yıllar ortalama yıllık toplam yağış ve buharlaşma verilerinden kuraklık indeksi elde edilmiş ve üç sınıfa ayrılmıştır. Topografik parametreler olarak yükseklik ve bakı parametreleri SRTM sayısal arazi modeli verisinden elde edilerek, yükseklik dört sınıfa ve bakı da üç sınıfa ayrılmıştır. Elde edilen kuraklık indeks katmanı ve topoğrafik katmanlar birleştirilmiş ve 27 sınıflı ekolojik bölgeler haritası elde edilmiştir.
