An investigation on the floristic characteristics of the Boztepe Protected Forest Area (Unye-Ordu)

Abstract

Bu calismada Orta Karadeniz Bolgesinde bulunan Boztepe (Unye-Ordu) Orman Koruma Alani'nin vaskuler florasi 1995-1996 ve 2000-2001 yillarinda arastirilmistir. Iki vejetasyon donemi boyunca ve haftalik peryotlarla yapilan ornek toplama calismalarindan sonra yapilan floristik analizler sonucu, 78 familya ve 230 cinse dahil 355 tur ve turalti takson tanimlanmistir. Turlerin fitocografik bolgelere gore dagilimi soyledir: Avrupa-Sibirya %38,62, Akdeniz %5,30 ve Iran-Turan %3,09 olup %48,70'i cok bolgelidir. Endemizm orani %1,41'dir.

Abstract In this study, the vascular flora of the Boztepe Protected Forest Area (Unye-Ordu) which is located in the central part of the Black Sea Region was investigated in 1995-1996 and 2000- 2001. As a result of the plant collections during the two periods a detailed floristic analysis of 355 different taxa belonging to 230 genera and 78 families was found. Distribution of the taxa according to the phytogeographical regions are follows: 38.62% Euro-Siberian, 5.30% Mediterranean, 3.09% Irano-Turanian, and 48.70% pluriregionals. The endemism rate is 1.41%.
