Abstract

The research was carried out on the steppe vegetation covering the gypsiferous formations in Cappadocia, the eastern part of Central Anatolia. The vegetation, which is under the influences of a semiarid, very cold Mediterranean climate, was analyzed according to the Braun-Blanquet approach. A new suballiance, Helichryso-Thymenion cappadosici of the alliance Astragalo karamasici-Gypsophilion eriocalycis and five new plant associations were described in the area.
