Determination of Potential Use in Urban Landscape Design of Natural Abies Taxa Growth at Different Altitudes in Turkey

Öz

Geography of Turkey with different altitudes up to 5,165 m asl has been effective for plant material selection in landscape design. Living quarters of many types, used in plant design vary depending on the different levels of altitude. Changing the ecological requirements such as soil and water of plant materials used in the design of urban green spaces partially or completely might be possible, but it is not possible to interfere with the distribution of plants depending on altitude. Abies taxa naturally grown in Turkey, which have an important potential in terms of landscape design, were taken as sample in this study. The geographic regions and altitude of potential lands for the fir taxa were determined by using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) in the present study. As a result, in most part of Turkey naturally grown Abies taxa can be used
