Abstract

This study discusses the paleovegetation records of shallow core sediments of Lake Gâvur (Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye), which was dried in the 1970s. A 5 m-long sediment core was obtained with an Eijkelkamp sediment sampler and palynological samples were taken at 10 cm intervals. The sediments were dated by AMS radiocarbon dating of bulk at two levels. Among arboreal pollen (AP) from approximately 4400 cal yr BC, the dominant tree taxa were Pinus, Cedrus, Quercus, and Fraxinus. Initially, AP dominated NAP (non-arboreal pollen) along with the pollen diagram, and AP gradually decreased up to the present. The evaluation of the fossil pollen percentage indicates that in that period arboreal taxa were more widely distributed around the lake than they are in the present. Inferred major causes for the increase of pollen percentage of Poaceae and Asteraceae in the LG-3 (upper) zone of the pollen diagram are anthropogenic impacts.

Özet

Bu çalışma, 1970'lerde kurutulmuş olan Gâvur Gölü'nden (Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye) alınan karotta sığ çökellerin paleovejetasyon kayıtlarını tartışmaktadır. Eijkelkamp sediman örnekleyici ile 5 m uzunluğunda karot alınmış ve 10 cm aralıklarla palinolojik analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Alınan karotun iki seviyesinde AMS radyokarbon tarihlemesi yapılmıştır. Yaklaşık olarak MÖ 4400 cal yıllarına ait arboreal polenler (AP) arasında baskın ağaç taksonları Pinus, Cedrus, Quercus ve Fraxinus'tur. Başlangıçta AP, polen diyagramı boyunca NAP'tan (arboreal olmayan polen) yüksekti ve AP, NAP’a oranla günümüze kadar kademeli olarak azaldı. Fosil polen yüzdesinin değerlendirilmesi, o dönemde arboreal taksonların göl çevresinde günümüzden daha yaygın bir biçimde dağılış paternine sahip oluğunu göstermektedir.
