Abstract

In this study, epiphytic bryophyte vegetation of
the Akyazı District in Sakarya Province (Turkey) was investigated. In the
different vegetation periods of the year 2017, a total of 85 relevés taken from
the trunks of trees and were classified by Braun-Blanquet method and regulated by
using Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DECORANA) and Two-Way Indicator
Species Analysis (TWINSPAN). TWINSPAN classification technique produced two
main vegetation groups include eight clusters at the third level. The
results of DECORANA indicated that the distribution
patterns of epiphytic communities change from xeric to mesic and along the lower
base and upper zones. The most important ecological factor for the epiphytic
community differentiation in the study area, according to the ordination
diagram, is humidity of the epiphytic habitats. Consequently, six epiphytic
bryophyte associations and two subassociations were determined in the present
paper. Among them; Orthotrichetum
pallentis for the second time and Pterigynandretum filiformis -leucodontetosum
sciuroidis were recorded for the first time in Turkey.
Moreover, Orthotrichetum pallentis - isothecietosum alopecuroidis subass.
nova was described as a new epiphytic association from the Akyazı District
of Sakarya Province. Floristic and ecological characteristics such as;
(humidity, light, acidity) of these new syntaxa are given with detailed
descriptions.

Akyazı İlçesi'nin (Sakarya, Türkiye) Epifitik Briyofit Toplulukları: Topluluk-Habitat İlişkilerinin Çok Değişkenli Bir Çalışması

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Sakarya ili, Akyazı ilçesinin (Türkiye) epifitik briyofit vejetasyonu
araştırılmıştır.
2017 yılının
farklı vejetasyon dönemlerinde, ağaç
gövdelerinden alınan
toplam 85 örneklik alan, Braun-Blanquet metodu-kullanılarak
sınıflandırılmış, Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DECORANA) ve Two-Way
Indicator Species Analysis (TWINSPAN) kullanılarak da düzenlenmiştir. TWINSPAN sınıflandırma tekniği, üçüncü
seviyede sekiz kümeyi içeren iki ana vejetasyon grubu üretmiştir. DECORANA
sonuçları, epifitik toplulukların dağılım modellerinin, kurakçıldan nemliye
taban ve üst bölgeler boyunca değiştiğini göstermiştir. Çalışma alanındaki epifitik topluluk
farklılaşması için en önemli ekolojik faktör, ordinasyon diyagramına göre,
epifitik habitatların nemidir. Sonuç olarak, yapılan bu çalışmada altı epifitik
briyofit birliği ve iki alt birlik tespit edilmiştir. Bunlar arasından; Orthotrichetum
pallentis Türkiye’den ikinci kez, Pterigynandretum
filiformis -leucodontetosum sciuroidis ise Türkiye’den ilk
kez kaydedilmiştir. Dahası, Orthotrichetum
pallentis - isothecietosum alopecuroidis subass. nova, Sakarya ilinin
Akyazı ilçesi'nden yeni bir epifitik altbirlik olarak tanımlanmıştır. Bu sintaksonların; nem, ışık, asidite gibi ekolojik ve floristik
karakteristikleri detaylı açıklamalarıyla birlikte verilmiştir.
