Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: The color of plant which is the most significant material of landscape design has visual and psychological effects on human beings. Color effect in plants varies in different periods of growth depending on foliation, florescence, fruit bearing and falling times. Variance of color in plants is an effective factor in the perception of places as well, according to species and regional differences, which increase the significance of the subject. In the study, the autumn leaf colors of Berberis thunbergii atropurpurea, one of the exotic species and Prunus laurocerasus, a wild species, were observed in order to reveal the effect of regional differences on leaf colors. Both of these plants are frequently found in green areas in the province of Hatay in the Mediterranean Region and the province of Kastamonu in Black Sea Region. As a result of the study, it was found that autumn leaf colors of both species were darker in Kastamonu. However, the color in leaves varies on a province basis. Accordingly, green and maroon colors are intense in the leaves of B. thunbergii atropurpurea under Hatay conditions and red and maroon colors are intense under Kastamonu conditions. The leaves of P. laurocerasus were detected as a yellowish green in Hatay and as a dark green in Kastamonu. Keywords: Plant Design, Leaf Color, Berberis thunbergii atropurpurea DC, Prunus laurocerasus L.
