This research was conducted in Zengi Rangeland, in the vegetation period of 2012. The Zengi Rangeland is located within Isparta/Sütçüler district boundaries and its average altitude about 1280 meters and slope is about 5%. During the research, while characteristics of the vegetation in the area that covered by plants, botanical composition, aboveground/underground biomass and rangeland condition have been handled have been examined. Transect and quadrat methods were used in order to determine the rangeland flora of the case study area. A general soil characteristic of the research area has been examined and texture class has been found as a clayey texture. It has been figured out that soil is in good level with the following features; slightly alkaline with the amount of pH 7.83, more chalky with the rate of 17.5%, with 3.76% of organic matter. In the research area 122 taxa belonging to 30 families have been detected. The families that have much taxa are as follows in order; Fabaceae, Asteraceae and Lamiaceae. The plant cover area was identified as 21.75% of total area. Additionally, the botanical composition of rangeland consists of 63.51% of Poaceae, 16.39% Fabaceae and other family 20.10%. The aboveground and underground biomass yields were calculated as 475.45 kg/da and 700.40 kg/da, respectively. The rangeland condition was established as poor. |
