Bazı endemik bitki türlerinin Gölköy / Bolu yerleşkesinde ın sıtu korunması olanaklarının araştırılması

In this thesis, the in situ conservation possibilities of target species in the Campus Area of Abant Izzet Baysal University were studied. Firstly, 5 preservable areas were selected as Gene Management Zones (GMZs) in appropriate areas of the Campus. In order to detect the diversity and density of plant species' population, Modified Wheel Point Method with loop was used in surveys, between May 2011 and July 2013. 85 different plant species from 31 different families were collected in 475 loop points and two of collected species were endemic: Trifolium elongatum Willd., and Arum hygrophilum Boiss. subsp. euxinum (R.R. Mill.) Alpınar. Morphological characters of collected 10 specimens for each endemic species,described by the Flora of Turkey, were measured. Then, mean, standard deviation, min, and max were calculated for the characters by SPSS 21 Package Software. Plant coverage areas calculated in 5 GMZs were 88.8%, 95.5%, 90.0%, 88.7%, and 95.0%, respectively. Meantime, frequencies of target species were 3.36% and 2.94%. Topographic features and soil content affecting biodiversity: water logging, soil texture, electrical conductivity, total salt, pH in water-logged soil, lime (CaCO3), P2O5/K2O, organic substance, total nitrogen, organic carbon were measured. Effects of climate, construction, crowd etc. were also compared by previous studies in the Campus and possibility for in situ conservation in the Campus Area was discussed.
