Abstract

This study was conducted to find out the current vegetation composition, forage yield and range condition of a natural rangeland in Ayaş county near Ankara in 1997 and 1998. The work was done on a sloppy and shallow soil on the hills near Ankara - Beypazarı 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' sampling. 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.

Özet

Ankara ili Ayaş ilçesindeki doğal bir meranın bitki örtüsü, yem verimi ve mera durumunun belirlenmesi amacı ile 1997 ve 1998 yıllarında yapılan bu çalışma Ankara- Beypazarı Karayolu üzerinde bulunan, eğimi oldukça fazla, toprak örtüsü yüzlek olan bir mera kesimi üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Transekt metodu kullanılarak yapılan vejetasyon incelemelerinden elde edilen sonuçlara göre, mera toprağının % 85.54'lük bir kısmı hiç bir bitki örtüsü ile kaplı olmayıp, çıplak bir halde bulunmaktadır. Vejetasyonu oluşturan türlerinin %49.64'u buğdaygiller familyası, %38.39'u diğer familyalardan ve geri kalan .%11.97'si ise baklagiller familyası bitkilerinden oluşmaktadır. Botanik kompozisyonda bulunan 42 bitki türünden, en fazla tekrar edenler koyun yumağı (%49), kekik (%28) ve sorguçlu gümüş otu (%15) olmuştur. Meranın yem verimi 102.12 kg/da kuru ot olarak bulunmuş, mera durumu zayıf olarak (3.71) saptanmıştır. Bir büyükbaş hayvan birimine gerekli mera alanı 42.30 da olarak hesaplanmıştır.
