Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the ecological characteristics and identify indicator plant species associated with Juniperus oxycedrus L. (tar juniper) in the Bozdağlar region. Field inventory studies were conducted in 170 sample plots, each measuring 20x20 m, and a data matrix was constructed. Indicator species analysis was performed using the PC-ORD software. The analysis identified 12 positive indicator plant species, with Aubrieta deltoidea, Muscari armeniacum, and Centaurea thirkei emerging as the most statistically significant positive indicators. However, no negative indicators of plant species were observed. These findings indicate that tar juniper is a species sensitive to environmental conditions, and the plant species associated with it provide valuable insights into the habitat characteristics of the region. This study underscores the adaptive capacity of tar juniper in arid and semi-arid ecosystems and highlights its ecological role in these habitats. These results are expected to contribute to the development of sustainable management strategies for tar juniper and forest ecosystems. Additionally, similar studies conducted in diverse geographical regions are anticipated to provide a broader understanding of the ecological functionality of this species and its sensitivity to environmental change.

Özet

Bu çalışma, Juniperus oxycedrus L. (katran ardıcı) türünün Bozdağlar yöresindeki ekolojik özelliklerini ve gösterge bitki türlerini belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında, 20x20 m boyutlarında toplam 170 örnek alanda arazi envanter çalışmaları gerçekleştirilerek veri matrisi hazırlanmıştır. Gösterge türlerin belirlenmesi için PC-ORD yazılımında indikatör tür analizi uygulanmıştır. Analiz sonucunda, 12 pozitif gösterge bitki türü tespit edilmiş olup, bunlar arasında Aubrieta deltoidea, Muscari armeniacum ve Centaurea thirkei istatistiksel olarak en önemli pozitif gösterge türler olarak öne çıkmıştır. Ancak negatif gösterge bitki türüne ise rastlanmamıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, katran ardıcının çevresel koşullara duyarlılık gösteren bir tür olduğunu ve bu türle birlikte bulunan bitki türlerinin, habitat özelliklerinin anlaşılmasında önemli ipuçları sunduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışma, katran ardıcının kurak ve yarı kurak ekosistemlerdeki adaptasyon yeteneğini ve bu ekosistemlerde oynadığı rolü desteklemektedir. Çalışmanın sonuçları, katran ardıcının ve genel anlamda orman ekosistemlerinin sürdürülebilir yönetimi için stratejiler geliştirilmesine katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Ayrıca gelecekte farklı coğrafi bölgelerde yapılacak benzer çalışmaların, bu türün ekolojik işlevselliği ve çevresel değişimlere karşı duyarlılığı hakkında daha geniş bir perspektif sağlayacağı öngörülmektedir.
