The Situation of Common Ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) in the Düzce Province of Turkey

Abstract

Ambrosia artemisiifolia (common ragweed) is an invasive alien species in many areas where it has been introduced other than its native range, which affects negatively biological diversity and ecosystem services. It has spread abundantly in East Blacksea and Trace regions, and partly in Middle Blacksea for the last 10 years although its existence has been known in Turkey since 1990s. This study was conducted to determine common ragweed populations in the Düzce Province in the west part of the Blacksea Region where is located in between two common ragweed invaded areas. Fourtyone  populations of common ragweed is determined, which are all in roadsides and empty areas except one. The size of habitats invaded by common ragweed varied between 1 m² and 4375 m² and two third of a habitat as an average was covered with common ragweed. In the communities with common ragweed populations, 23 plant species belongs to 15 families were determined. Conyza sp. was the most distributed species, which has seen in 18 out of 38 communities. The following species to Conyza as the most distributed species were the alien species for Turkey as well and had importance as weed and/or invasive alien species in other countries as well as Turkey. It is possible that common ragweed might invade agricultural areas in the Düzce Province although it was not determined in agricultural areas in the province. It is thought that common ragweed had been introduced in Düzce in 1999 earthquake with aids came from overseas or international and national transport activities, and then it naturalized and spread due to disturbed habitats after the earthquake. It is shown with the populations determined in Düzce that  common ragweed can be seen any suitable habitat from east to west through the north of Turkey.

Düzce İlindeki Arsız Zaylan (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) Populasyonlarının Durumu

Abstract

Ambrosia artemisiifolia (arsız zaylan) anavatanı dışında girdiği birçok yerde biyolojik çeşitliliği ve ekosistem hizmetlerini etkileyen istilâcı yabancı bitki türlerinden biridir. Türkiye’de de varlığı 1990’lı yıllardan beri bilinmekle beraber son 10 yılda belirgin bir şekilde Doğu Karadeniz ve Trakya yörelerinde, kısmen Orta Karadenizde yayılmıştır. İki yayılım arasında kalan Karadenizin batısındaki Düzce İlindeki popülasyonlarını belirlemek ve bu popülasyonlarla ilgili bilgileri ortaya koymak amacıyla bu çalışma yürütülmüştür. Biri hâriç tamamı yol kenarları ve boş alanlarda olmak üzere  41 populasyon tespit edilmiştir. Popülasyonlar 1 m²- 4375 m² arasındaki boyutlarda habitatlarda görülmüş,  arsız zaylan alanların ortalama üçte ikisini kaplamıştır. Bu popülasyonların bulunduğu komunitelerde 15 familyadan 23 bitki türü tespit edilmiştir.  Komunitelerin 18’inde tespit edilen pireotu en yaygın türdür. Bunu tâkip eden diğer yaygın türler de pireotu gibi Türkiye için yabancı bitkilerdir ve başka yerlerde ve Türkiye’de yabancıot ve/veya istilâcı yabancı bitki olarak önem arzetmektedirler. Bu çalışmada Düzce’de tarım alanlarında tespit edilmemiş olan arsız zaylanın ilde daha da yayılarak tarım alanlarına da geçmesi mümkündür. Arsız zaylanın Düzce’ye 1999 depremi sonrası yurtdışından gelen yardımlarla veya ülkeler ve şehirler arası taşımacılık faaliyetleri ile gelmiş olabileceği ve deprem sonrası birçok habitatın tahrip olması sonucu ilde yerleşip yayıldığı  kanısına varılmıştır. Düzce’deki popülasyonlarla beraber arsız zaylanın doğu batı istikametinde Türkiye’nin kuzeyinde her alanda görülebileceği ortaya konulmuştur.
