The report is prepared based on the thematic reports of expert groups under the National Biological Diversity and Action Plan, official statistics and institutional infonnation. It follows the structure set out by the Secretariat and is organized into four chapters. Chapter I provides a broad overview of the status and trends of Turkish biodiversity; in this chapter, geological and socioeconomic features of Turkey, genera] infonnation on biodiversity and current threats and trends of biodiversity have been summarized. Turkey is one of the fortunate countries in the world which possesses vital resources for food security and thus has the responsibility to protect and use this important wealth rationally for the welfare of future generations. It has three biogeographical regions called Euro-Siberian, Mediterranean and Irano-Turanian and their transition zones and because its climatic and geographical features change within short intervals of space due to its position as a bridge between two continents, Turkey has acquired the character of a small continent from the point of biological diversity. Turkey has forest, mountain, steppe, wetland, coastal and marine ecosystems and different fonns and combinations of these systems. This extraordinary ecosystem and habitat diversity has produced a considerable species diversity. It is noted that fauna biological diversity is quite high in Turkey compared with the biological diversity of other countries in the temperate zone. Despite lack of data, the invertebrates constitute the largest nnmber among the identified living species. The total number of invertebrate species in Turkey is abont 19,000, of which about 4,000 species/subspecies are endemic. The total number of vertebrate species identified to date is near 1,500 of the vertebrates, over 100 species are endemic, including 70 species of fish. Anatolia is the home of the fallow deer and the pheasant The fact that Turkey is located on two major bird migration routes in the world makes it an important place as a feeding and breeding area for birds. Turkey also has a rich plant biodiversity and has ratio of endemism. Turkey has approximately 11,000 gymnospennous and angiospennous plant species, one third of them endemic to Turkey. Eastern Anatolia and Southern Anatolia among the geographical regions, and the lrano-Turanian and Mediterranean regions among the phyto­ geographical regions, are rich in endemic plant species. Turkey's genetic diversity becomes important with regard to plant genetic resources in particular because Turkey is located at the intersection of the Mediterranean and Near Eastern gene centers. These two regions have a key role in the appearance of cereals and horticultural crops. In Turkey, there are 5 micro-gene centers in which more than 100 species display a wide variation and which are the origin or centre of a large number of important crop plants and other economically important plant species such as medical plants. These centers offer very important genetic resources for the future sustainability of many plant species cultivated across the world. In tenns of animal genetic resources, it is agreed that many domestic animal races were originally bred in Anatolia as a result of its location and spread from here to other regions of the world. In conclusion, while talking about the wealth of biological diversity, it must be addressed at the level of ecosystems, species, genes and biological functions and evaluated also from the point of its significance for agriculture, forestry and industry. 4 Chapter 2 summarizes the status of National Biological Diversity Strategy and Action Plan. The National Biological Diversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) was prepared in 200 I under the eoordination of Ministry of Environment, with the intention that it should serve as a guide in implementing the Convention on Biological Diversity in barmony with other obligations

  • CANİK SANCAĞI'nin NÜFUSUNA DAİR BİR DEĞERLENDİRME* Doç
    CANİK SANCAĞI'NIN NÜFUSUNA DAİR BİR DEĞERLENDİRME* Doç.Dr.Nedim İPEK** GİRİŞ Canik Sancağı Tanzimat'tan önce Sivas eyaletinin sınırları içinde yer almaktaydı. 1847 yılında idari olarak Trabzon'a bağlandı. Î867 Vilâyet Nizâmnâ­ mesi’ne göre: Samsun, Bafra, Çarşamba ve Ünye kazalarından oluşmaktaydı. 1877'de Terme ve Niksar'ın da ilâvesiyle sancak dahilindeki kazaların sayısı altıya çıktı. 1892'de ise Niksar sancak sınırları dışında bırakılırken, Fatsa kazası Canik'e bağlandı. 1485-1576 yılları arasında Canik sancağının nüfusunda büyük dalgalanmalar oldu. Sancağın nüfusu 1485'te 70-80 bin civarında İken 1520'de 67-76 bine kadar geriledi. 1576'da ise Anadolu'daki nüfus artışına parelel olarak % 60-70 artarak 110 ile 125 bine yükseldi, 1485'te kırsal nüfusun %5'ini oluşturan gayr-i müslim nüfus 1576'da % 3.4'e geriledi. Bafra'nın köylerinde bu oran %7'den %1.3'e kadar indi. Bu gerilemenin sebebi Bafra'nın köylerinde meskûn gayr-i müslim reayanın çevre kasabalara veya Anadolu'nun diğer yerleşim birimlerine göç etmelerinden kaynaklanmış olmalıdır. Zira, 1485-1576 tarihleri arasında Müslüman nüfus %104 artarken, gayr-İ müslim nüfus ancak %15'lİk bir yükselme kaydetti1. 1576-1642 yılları arasında Canik sancağının kır nüfusunda çok büyük bir düşüş söz konusudur2.

Seasonal Variations in Zooplankton Species of Lake Gölhisar, a Shallow Lake in Burdur, Turkey Meral Apaydın Yağcı* Fisheries Research Station, 32500, Eğirdir, Isparta, Turkey Abstract.- Seasonal variations of zooplankton species were investigated between Spring 2002 and Winter 2003 in Lake Gölhisar, Burdur, Turkey. A total of 31 species comprising 15 Rotifera (48%), 11 Cladocera (36%), and 5 Copepoda (16%) were recorded. Keratella quadrata, Daphnia longispina and Acanthodiaptomus denticornis were the common species during the study period. Maximum number of taxa were observed from Rotifera and Cladocera during summer, while minimum taxa was determined from Copepoda during winter. Keywords: Rotifera, Cladocera, Copepoda.

    Management of Wetlands in Mugla City Murat BARLAS and Nedim OZDEMIR Mugla University- Turkey Wetlands for Clear Water 24-25 March 2011 in Greifswald, Germany Greifswald University Turkey is one of the world’s richest countries in terms of variety of vegatetaion, insects, fish, reptiles, birds and mammals. The variety of life forms and animals are valued as biological marvels. The reason for the rich biological diversity in Turkey’s geography, different topography, climate and soil structure. In respect to endemic vegetation Turkey is also especially rich. A large number of these endemic species are to be found within the borders of Mugla city. Mugla city is the second largest holiday and tourism centre of Turkey with 1124 km long seaside, coves that are all more beautiful than one another, blue voyages, numerous beaches, qualified and affordable tourism enterprices that are developing so fast. Although till today Mugla city has been presented and advertised focusing on it’s sea, sand aspects of its tourism potential first, in recent years cultural tourism and alternative tourism branches started to gain importance.
