A research on the botanical composition of Çamlıhemşin-Palovit Plateau

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the rate of botanical composition, canopy covering of plants and the degree of pasture.of the Palovit plateau of Çamlıhemşin district of Rize province, In 2019, 112 plant samples were collected from the lines taken by the Loup method as a result of the field studies carried out in July, when the plateau reached the climax stage of the pasture vegetation. A total of 25 taxa belonging to 22 genus and 15 families were identified as 10 monocotyl and 15 dicotyl. In the research area, from the families are important in terms of botanical composition in determining the status of pastures according to the quality of pasture is represented by Poaceae family 6 taxa and 54.98 % and Fabacaeae family a very low with 1 taxa and 2.88 %. In the research, total botanical composition ratio of 13 families including 18 other taxa was found to be 42.14 %. As a result of the research, 70.75 % of the total canopy cover rate of plants; pasture were found to be weak according to the calculated 2.383 pasture degree.
