Abstract
This study was conducted to find out the current vegetation composition, forage yield and range condition of a natural rangeland in Aya ş county near Ankara in 1997 and 1998. The work was done on a sloppy and shallow soil on the hills near Ankara — Beypazar ı highway. The results obtained using line intercept method showed that 85.54 % of the soil surface was exposed to erosion, being not covered by any plant unit. Vegetation was composed of grasses, other plant families and legumes with a portion of 49.64%, 38.39% and 11.97%, respectively. The most frequent plant species in the vegetation which was consist of 42 plant species were sheep fescue 49% , thyme 28% and june grass 15% . There were no differences between years for forage yield. Dry forage yield of the area was 102.12 kg/da as the mean of two years' sampl ı ng The degree of range quality was 3.71, thus range condition was classified as fair. It is also calculated that an Animal Unit needs 42.30 da of rangeland.
