AI Summary & Key Takeaways

AI Insight
⚡ TL;DR(Too Long; Didn't Read)

Main conclusions of the study are that human-induced habitat loss and fragmentation of dominant habitats were increased, especially quality of brush and shrub rangeland and that herbaceous rangeland habitats decreased and deteriorated, and during the study period, the biomass productivity has decreased from bush productivity to the low productivity habitat characterized by meadow and bare land.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify the change of landuse/landcover (LULC) landscape patterns, qualify habitat fragmentation, degredation and habitat quality in the Balikesir plain and its surroundings in the NW part of Anatolia. The study area has different habitats in terms of vegetation cover and biomass productivity. However, the human-induced effects have caused the ecosystem and/or habitat to change. Analysis shows that this change occurred from the bush community to the meadow and bare lands. Main conclusions of the study are that human-induced habitat loss and fragmentation of dominant habitats were increased, especially quality of brush and shrub rangeland and that herbaceous rangeland habitats decreased and deteriorated, and during the study period, the biomass productivity has decreased from bush productivity to the low productivity habitat characterized by meadow and bare land.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, Kuzeybatı Anadolu'da yer alan, Balıkesir Ovası ve yakın çevresinde arazi kullanımı/arazi örtüsünde (AKAÖ) ve peyzaj paterninde meydana gelen değişimin;habitat parçalılığının ve habitat kalitesinin ortaya konması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma alanı,bitki örtüsü ve biyokütle üretkenliği bakımından farklı habitatlara sahiptir fakat insanın etkisiyle ekosistem ve/veya habitat değişmeleri meydana gelmektedir. Analizler, bu değişimin çalılıklardan otlaklara ve çıplaklaştırmaya doğru olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışmanın ana sonuçları, peyzaja hakim olan habitatlarda parçalılığın ve kayıpların artığı,özellikle çalılık-fundalıklar ile otlaklara ait habitatların kalitesinde bozulma meydana geldiği ve biyokütle üretkenliğinin çalılık üretkenliğinden daha düşük üretkenliğe sahip olan otlak ve açık alanlara doğru değiştiğidir.
