Abstract

Litter is an important component of organic matter replenishment. Rhododendron ponticum L. is an importantunderstory deciduous shrub species of Fagus orientalis Lipsky Forests in the Western Black Sea region. Thegoal of this study is to determine the effects of altitude and slope on deciduous litter traits. The relationshipsbetween litter and soil traits were also investigated with the help of numerical methods. We found that litterand soil traits were significantly changed along the elevational gradient. We also found that C (carbon) andN (nitrogen) concentrations and the C/N ratio of R. ponticum litter were lower than that of otherRhododendron species. The C/N ratios were lower at 400 m, while gradually increasing along the elevationalgradient. The C/P ratio of R. ponticum litter was found to be rather high.

Özet

Ölü örtü, organik maddenin yenilenmesinde önemli bir bileşendir. Rhododendron ponticum L. Batı KaradenizBölgesinde Fagus orientalis Lipsky ormanlarının altındaki önemli bir yaprak döken çalı türüdür. Buçalışmanın amacı, ölü örtünün nitelikleri üzerinde yüksekliğin ve eğimin etkilerini belirlemektir. Ölü örtüve toprak özellikleri arasındaki ilişkiler nümerik metodlar yardımıyla incelenmiştir. Ölü örtü ve topraközellikleri yükseklik faktörüne bağlı olarak anlamlı ölçüde değişiklik göstermiştir (p
