Database manager(s): Ali KAVGACI (alikavgaci1977@yahoo.com)
Owner: Ali KAVGACI
Scope: The main aim of the database is to collect all published and nonpublished phytosociological samplings carried out in accordance with Braun-Blanquet approach from the forests in Turkey and by this way to explore the floristic, ecologic and geographical variations of the Turkish forests. Such a knowledge will be a good base and help for a sustainable management of forests in Turkey. It would also be a good contribution for understanding the biological diversity in a larger geographical scale since Turkey, which a bridge between Europe an Asia, is covered by many different forest types representing the three main phytogeographical regions : Euro-Siberia, Mediterranean and Irano-Turanian.
