Abstract

This study was designed with an aim to observe the effect on the physiological parameters of epiphyticlichens of the climatic conditions, population and traffic activity in the sites. The study was carried outin thalli of Evernia prunastri (L.) Ach., Parmelia sulcata Taylor and Pseudevernia furfuracea (L.) Zopfcollected from the urban and rural area. Six parameters (total protein, total carbohydrate, Chl-a, Chl-b,carotenoid content and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activities were measured in thalli of epiphyticlichens. Protein content and GST activity were showed a negative correlation with rainfall and humidity,while positively correlation with temperature, population and the number of motor vehicles. GSTactivity was increased by increasing the level of pollution in sites, and Chl-a content decreased. Chl-aand carotenoids content were showed a positive correlation with rainfall and humidity, while negativelycorrelated with temperature, population and the number of motor vehicles. Total carbohydrate andChl-b content in thalli of three epiphytic lichen species were not a significant correlation with climaticand anthropogenic parameters.

Özet

Bu çalışma üç farklı alandaki iklim şartları, nüfus ve trafik aktivitesinin epifitik likenlerin fizyolojik parametreleri üzerine etkisini gözlemlemek amacı ile tasarlanmıştır. Çalışma kentsel ve kırsal alandan toplanan Evernia prunastri (L.) Ach., Parmelia sulcata Taylor ve Pseudevernia furfuracea (L.) Zopf liken örnekleri üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Epifitik likenlerin tallusunda altı farklı fizyolojik parametre (toplam protein, toplam karbonhidrat, Chl-a, Chl-b, karotenoid içeriği ve glutatyon S-transferaz (GST) aktivitesi) ölçülmüştür. Protein içeriği ve GST aktivitesi yağış ve nem ile negatif korelasyon gösterirken sıcaklık, nüfus ve motorlu taşıtların sayısı ile pozitif korelasyona göstermektedir. GST aktivitesi incelenen alanlarda kirlilik düzeyinin artması ile artmış ve Chl-a içeriği ise azalmıştır. Chl-a ve karotenoid içerik yağış ve nem ile pozitif, sıcaklık, nüfus ve motorlu araç sayısı ile negatif korelasyon göstermektedir. Epifitik liken türlerinin toplam karbonhidrat ve Chl-b içeriği ile iklimsel ve insan kaynaklı parametreler arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır.
