Floristic Composition, Life Form and Chorotype of Safranbolu -Tokatlı Canyon's
Abstract
In this study, it was aimed to determine the floristic composition of
Tokatlı Canyon in North West Anatolia. Plant samples were collected for two
seasons. The family, life form and the floristic regions of the plant specimens
were identified. A total of 102 taxa found in total belonging %10 (10) to
Asteraceae, 7% (7) to Labiatae, 7% (7) to Poaceae, 6% (6) to Ranunculaceae, 6%
(6) Rosaceae and 65% (66) to other families. According to the distribution of
life form, the highest rate was 58% (59), belonging to Hemicriptophyte form. Of
the taxa detected in the cannon, the largest proportion was 50% (51), with 31%
(32) of the Euro-Siberian, 11% (11) of the Mediterranean and 8% (8) of the
Irano- Turanian territory. This study is the first floristic study of Tokatlı
Canyon showing importance of canyon in terms of plant diversity. In the study
area, 8 endemic taxa were collected constituting 7.8% of total flora. Tokatlı
Canyon consists of 50 families, 94 genera and 102 taxa.
