英文摘要 | Ephemeral streams are important habitats that support biodiversity, especially in mountainous ecosystems in arid and semi-arid regions, and are among those that will be most affected by global climate change. This study aimed to examine the trends in plant species diversity of ephemeral stream beds and their relationship with environmental variables (aspect, elevation, soil) in the eastern Mediterranean region.For this purpose, 40 sample plots were applied in the valley cross sections of the ephemeral stream beds (valley bottom, side and ridge) on two main slopes (north and south) in 2019. The abundance values of plant species were determined and the number of individuals in each sample plot was counted. In addition, soil samples were taken at a depth of 0-30 cm and analyzed. With the data obtained, the importance value index of all species was calculated, and the diversity and species richness of the sample plots were determined.A total of 130 plant taxa were identified in the study area. The most dominant species were Astragalus kurdicus (IVI value: 25.97), Helichrysum plicatum (21.94), Taeniatherum caput-medusae subsp. crinitum (15.51), Hordeum bulbosum (15.33), Bromus erectus (15.32), and Minuartia juniperina (14.14). Both plant richness and endemism rate showed a significant relationship with increasing elevation. Plant diversity values of south-facing slopes were higher (2.23) than those of north-facing slopes (2.21). In addition, we found that phosphorus is an important factor in the distribution of plant species along the ephemeral stream beds, and as the amount of phosphorus increases, species richness and diversity also increase. |
