Özet

In the burned forest area between 1999-2002 the floristical and ecological studies were conducted. In this period, successional development of the area was observed. After the fire in 1995, new life forms migrated from unburned parts of Sundiken Mountains and occupied the burned area in 7-8 years. There were 133 plant taxa were collected at the first year of the study and during the successional development the number of plant taxa decreased to 75. The secondary succession of the area were determined between 1999-2002. After the fire the dominant plant species of the study area is Cistus laurifolius. © 2007 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
