Floristic Similarity Status of Manavgat Sorgun Forest, Titreyengöl and Boğaz Forest: Floristic Similarity Status
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Today, population growth has increased anthropological pressure on natural areas. Natural areas have been destroyed, degraded, or fragmented as a result of anthropological pressure. This has led to the fragmentation of habitats and their diversification or eventual disappearance over time. This study investigated the floristic similarities between Manavgat Sorgun Forest, Titreyen Göl, and Boğaz Forest. The floristic structure of the three areas was determined, and the plants in the floristic findings were coded. Coding was done according to plant type, endemism status, IUCN status, angiosperm or gymnosperm status, medicinal and commercial plant status, and class. Using this coding, the three areas were compared using Modified Discriminant Analysis with SPSS 20.0 IBM COP program. Historical (1985) and current (2022) Landsat satellite images of the areas were examined. The median pixel values of all available images from 1985 and 2022 were calculated, and the median images from 1985 and 2022 were used. Thus, since the prevailing sky over Antalya is cloudless throughout the year, cloudless images and images free from other noise were produced. In addition, Google Earth images of the areas from 1985 and 2025 were also examined.
