Phytosociological Research on Egerli Mountain (Amasya, Turkey)

Abstract

The vegetation of Egerli Mountain (Amasya, Turkey) was investigated between 1996 and 1998. The study area is a transitional area between the boundaries of Central Anatolia and the Middle Black Sea region. From the phytogeographical point of view, it is situated between the Euro-Siberian and Irano-Turanian floristic regions. The vegetation of the study area was analyzed according to the Braun-Blanquet method, and the plant associations were classified by considering characteristic species. We describe 8 plant associations and 2 subassociations belonging to three different vegetation types in the study area. © 2001 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
