Modern pollen distribution of the Teke Peninsula forests: The case of the Ördübek Highland

Abstract

This study was carried out in the Teke Peninsula, in Cedrus libani A. Rich. (Lebanon cedar), Juniperus sp. (Juniper) and Quercus sp. (Oak) mixed forest (Susuz Dağ-Elmalı-Antalya), which is located in the Mediterranean mountain ecosystem. The purpose of the study is to determine the modern pollen distribution (density and percentage) of this forest area in the transition zone and to create a basic calibration scheme for the fossil pollen studies. For the purpose of this study, the two-year modern pollen distribution was monitored between the years 2015-2017 using the Tauber pollen traps, which were placed at 6 different points in the study area, and moss samples. Furthermore, the surface sediment sample of Lake Avlan was obtained, and the accumulation characteristic of the modern pollen distribution in the lake was revealed. The majority of the pollen density and percentage belongs to arboreal taxa (AP) (Cedrus libani, Pinus sp., Quercus coccifera L., Juniperus sp.).
