TAILIEUCHUNG - A phytosociological study of the forest, shrub, and steppe vegetation of Kızıldağ and environs (Isparta, Turkey)

The phytosociological properties of the forest, shrub, and steppe vegetation of Kızıldağ (Isparta province) were investigated in 2010 and 2011. The vegetation of the area was analysed using a 3-dimensional ordination technique based on the Braun-Blanquet method. | Turkish Journal of Botany Research Article Turk J Bot (2013) 37: 316-335 © TÜBİTAK doi: A phytosociological study of the forest, shrub, and steppe vegetation of Kızıldağ and environs (Isparta, Turkey) Coşkun SAĞLAM* Cumra Vocational School, Selçuk University, Konya, Turkey Received: Accepted: Published Online: Printed: Abstract: The phytosociological properties of the forest, shrub, and steppe vegetation of Kızıldağ (Isparta province) were investigated in 2010 and 2011. The vegetation of the area was analysed using a 3-dimensional ordination technique based on the Braun-Blanquet method. As a result, 5 new plant associations were determined as belonging to forest, shrub, and steppe vegetation and classified syntaxonomically. The associations and their higher units are as follows. Quercetea-Pubescentis Doing-Kraft ex Scamoni & Passarage 1959. Querco-Cedretalia libani Barbéro, Loisel & Quézel 1974. 1. Meliloto bicoloris-Quercetum cocciferae ass. nova. 2. Hyperico heterophylli-Cistetum laurifolii ass. nova. 3. Atraphaxo billardieri-Amygdaletum orientalii ass. nova. Abieto-Cedrion Akman, Barbéro & Quézel 1977. 4.

Introduction Turkey has many vegetation types due to the climatic and topographic features of its mountains and plains. Vegetation studies reveal the interaction between plant communities and the climate or soil properties in a region. Phytosociological studies are essential for protecting the natural plant communities and biodiversity as well as understanding the changes experienced in
