The Effect of Intense Construction and Population Pressure on Flora Changes in Gölköy Campus of Abant Izzet Baysal University in the Last Two Decades
Öz
Food security requires plant genetic resources (PGR), which is seriously risked by climatic changes, urbanization, and population growth. Therefore, collection, conservation, utilization, and improvement of PGR in diverse regions have higher priority. Turkey, situated among gene centers and historical migration routes, enjoys an environmental and genetic diversity. Gölköy Campus of Abant Izzet Baysal University, Bolu, which is a junction between Euro-Siberian and Irano-Turanian phytogeographic regions, has been intensively investigated in different historical periods. In this study, the changes for species diversity on the flora in the last two decades have been measured and compared. Twenty years apart, 332 plant species in 46 families decreased to 153 plant species in 45 families, which was a serious decrease of 66.77% in total plant species. Construction and human population seriously narrowed genetic diversity even in diverse regions.
