Vejetasyon Çalışmalarının Kökeni ve Vejetasyon Örnekleme Yöntemleri

Abstract

Vegetation, any geographical region on a segment, is a combination of living conditions that are similar to each other. These plant communities
are composed of plant associations. Vegetation research show differences in plant communities in a region regarding to another region, and
each of these plant communities research is in fact the work of a vegetation survey. Accordingly, vegetation, plant a grouping of individuals is
not random but is the result of a combination of many factors that influence each other. Most of the ecological study is investigating the mutual
relations of the individuals constituting the structure of certain plant associations and unions of these plants. The “plant union” term was first
time used in 1897 by the German botanist Von Humboldt. The Botanical Congress held in Brussels in 1910, “Plant union” and “Plant group”
concepts has been as scientifically defined by Ch. Flahault and Scröter. In 1951 the Braun-Blanquet’s work “plant union” concept has been
adopted as the basic unit of vegetation and increased emphasis on vegetation studies in recent years. In vegetation studies, how the formation
of plant associations with sampling methods, which factors keep them in balance or what factors caused the change, answering questions such
as how they are affected by different intensities of these factors is required. In this context, the best way to determine the sampling methods to
be used for vegetation studies, contributes to faster and more economical of the planned work.
