Abstract

This study was carried out in 2015 in four rangeland sites with different distance from the dust source (very close, near, far and far away) in Tımarlı district of Pasinler district of Erzurum Province. In this research, the number of seeds and the number of seeds of common species in m2 were examined. According to the distance from the source of dust, between the number of seeds and the number of seeds of common species in m2 showed statistically significant differences in the seed stoks of the rangeland sites. In the seed stokcs of rangeland sites, according to the distance from the dust source Festuca ovina, Scleranthus annus L. and Teucrium chamaedrys L. plants showed statistically significant difference (p<0.01) while Amaranthus retroflexus L., Catabrosella parviflora, Euphorbia spp. and Phleum montanum plants showed no significant differences. In general, as moved away from the dust source it was found that there was an increase both the number of seeds and the number of seeds of common species in m2 of the seed banks.
