This study was conducted to determine the rangeland quality degree, grazing intensity and hay quality of rangelands at four different directions and three altitudes. T he best rangeland quality degree was determined in rangelands facing the North (3.41) and at 1704 m altitude (3.84), and rangelands condition was classified as “poor”. Grazing intensity of the rangelands was...
Studies which assess the economical contributions of practices of General Directorate of Forest Villages Affairs ( GDoFVA) to the region or nation is of a limited number. In order for GDoFVA to develop its policies, it is necessary to identify the economical contribution of its practices at the local, regional and national level. To create awareness of the economical dimensions...
Turkey has been undergoing positive agricultural transformations since the 2011. Turkey agricultural sector today is developing with new techniques and products. One of the best examples of this; is the production of vermicompost and its use in agriculture. Turkey is in Asian and European continents (Eurasia) with the population approximately 81 million. Turkey has 24 million...
This study was carried out in the Teke Peninsula, in Cedrus libani A. Rich. (Lebanon cedar), Juniperus sp. (Juniper) and Quercus sp. (Oak) mixed forest ( Susuz Dağ -Elmalı-Antalya), which is located in the Mediterranean mountain ecosystem. The purpose of the study is to determine the modern pollen distribution (density and percentage) of this forest area in the transition zone...
This paper evaluates a collection of autumnal Lepidoptera fauna from Dağlıca vicinity of Hakkari Province. A total of 58 species are examined belonging to 9 families. Off all, 33 species in Dağlıca vicinity and 21 species in Hakkari Province are determined for the first time. All the species are listed alphabetically within the families, together with synonyms and studied...
Soil physical and chemical properties were compared in stone pine ( Pinus pinea L.) plantations vs neighboring natural sites. The pine plantations were selected at ages of 3, 10, 20 and 30 in Biga (Çanakkale-Western Turkey) to harvest adequate sampling plots and the natural sampling plots were settled to the vicinity of the plantation plots. The soils were investigated in terms...
Turkey has a rich flora with more than 10.000 plant species. During a field trip to Kars some herbarium species were collected from the genus Ribes L. After doing detailed studies on morphological description, photos and distribution map of the samples, I realized that the samples were belonging to a new species, which is unknown in Turkey. The morphological features lead me to...
The present study aimed to determine the total antioxidant status, total oxidant status and oxidative stress index of the ethanol extracts obtained from the fruits of Rosa canina L. plant collected in Erzincan province (Turkey). In this context, the fruit samples of the plant were extracted with ethanol (EtOH) using a Soxhlet device. Total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant...
Fire-affected soils have recently received more attention in soil science because some of the atmospheric CO 2 emissions have directly been driven from soils during fires and climate change has increased fire frequency in many ecosystems of Earth. However, low-intensity surface fires and their effects on soil properties have been relatively less studied in comparison to moderate...

The aim of the study was to determine and compare the fatty acids contents of Laurel berries ( Laurus nobilis L.) grown in Trabzon, Bartın, Samsun and Abkhazia. Fleshy parts of laurel berries and seeds were analyzed separately to reveal yields of fixed oils. Three altitude ranges were determined for the study and samples were collected from the ranges that can be found from these...

The objectives of nature conservation focused on the protection of selected animal and plant species and individual ecosystems through conservation. The basic components of nature conservation are flora and fauna including their habitats, biodiversity, performance and functionality of the natural environment. These can be directly linked to the goals for ecosystem, species and...
