Abstract

Summer drought, a typical property of Mediterranean climates, cause that plant species which have adaptations to drought could be established to Mediterranean basin. Since summer drought and early human settlement to the basin are factors increasing fire frequency in this region, Mediterranean plant species also evolved adaptations to survive fire. In this review, adaptations or pre-adaptations of Mediterranean basin plants evolved against drought and fire discussed with taking into consider these two ecological factors and also human effect.

Özet

Akdeniz iklimlerinin tipik bir özelliği olan yaz kuraklığı, Akdeniz havzasına bu yönde uyumsal özellikleri olan bitki türlerinin yerleşmesine neden olmuştur. Yaz kuraklığı ve havzaya erken dönem insan yerleşimi, bu bölgede yangın sıklığını artıran etmenler olduğundan Akdeniz havzasında bulunan bitki türleri yangına karşı da bazı uyumsal özellikler geliştirmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Akdeniz havzası bitkilerinin kuraklığa ve yangına karşı geliştirmiş oldukları uyumsal ya da önuyumsal özellikler, bu iki ekolojik etmen ve insan etkisi gözönüne alınarak irdelenmiştir.
