Özet

Bu araştırmada, Ardahan (Turkiye) İli’nin kuş türleri incelenmiştir. Yaklaşık iki yıl süren araştırma Şubat 2017 - Haziran 2018 ayları arasında gerçekleştirildi. Gözlemler sonucunda 43 familyaya ait 175 tür ve 2 alttür listelendi. Bu türlerin % 40,7 (Tür:72) Yerli, % 27,7 (Tür:49) Yaz ziyaretçisi, % 9,0 (Tür:16) Kış ziyaretçisi, % 22,6 (Tür:40) Transit göçer olduğu belirlendi. Bu kuş türlerinin IUCN kriterlerine göre değerlendirilmesi sonucunda; 1 türün tehlike altında (EN-Endangered), 9 türün tehlikeye açık (NT-Near threatened), 5 türün Hassas (VU-Vulnerable), 159 türün düşük riskli (LC-Least concern) statüsünde ve 3 türün kapsamda olmadığı görüldü. Ayrıca Ardahan İli için kuşların yoğun görüldüğü önemli sulak alanlar da tespit edildi.

Abstract

Four radon stations are located on the Sivrice Fault Zone of the East Anatolia Fault System (DAFS) which is one of the most important active fault systems that creates big earthquakes in Turkey. Soil radon measurements were performed by using a sensing system that includes a Nuclear Spectroscopic system located at certain stations which have been placed on the fault zone and by applying passive sensors method using plastic detectors (CR-39) at these same locations. In this study, the soil radon gas values from the stations were analyzed with different topics and the results: (i) Station II is located on the southern part of the Sivrice Fault Zone that has a higher seismic activity, (ii) There is a relationship between the alterations of soil radon gas outlets and the occurrence of earthquakes, however, it has been seen that some other parameters (temperature, humidity and pressure) also have an effect on radon outlet, (iii) The radon gas change according to the active and passive detection systems is parallel at each station but it is different in comparison with other stations.
