Abstract

According to the research area is located within the grid system used in Turkey's flora B2 square. In the studies carried out in 2018, 283 species and subspecies taxa were identified in the research area and its vicinity. 11 of these species are endemic and endemism rate is 3.9%. The distribution of species to floristic regions is as follows; 11% is European Siberia, 7% is Mediterranean and 11% is Iran-Turan. The remaining group of 71% is group of plants that can be found in more than one phytogeographic region or whose phytogeographic region is not certain. When the region of the study area is evaluated from this point of view, the rate of endemism is lower than the other parts of our country. Floristic data obtained as a result of the studies confirmed this situation. All of the endemic plants identified in the region are classified according to the IUCN categories and all of these plants are in the LR (Ic) category. In other words, the population levels of endemic plant taxa, which are determined to be distributed in the study area, are currently not under threat.
