“…Furthermore, despite conducting studies, it can also be said that detailed classification has not been made for some habitats in Turkiye and it has been handled in a very general manner. For example, the salt marsh habitat has been evaluated within the steppes' habitat for an extensive period and the salt marsh and salt steppe differentiations were made approximately 40 years later (Birand, 1961;Aydoğdu et al, 2002;2004). Sandy steppe is another habitat type has not been differentiated until now.…”

The steppes habitat in Türkiye took bedrock formed of soil as the basis, and was classified by separating into groups, such as calcareous, with gypsum, volcanic, and serpentine. However, a classification was not made that took the soil texture as the basis. In this study, the stable sand dunes’ soil texture observed in Karapınar, Konya, Turkiye erosion region, was evaluated for flora and syntaxonomy. Within the scope of the study, observations were conducted in the sandy habitats found to the south-southwest of the Karapınar county center, the plant species that preferred the habitat were determined, and the data obtained was compared with the steppes’ habitat in the close environs and with the studies made previously. Furthermore, it emphasized the necessity of analyzing syntaxonomically the sandy steppes in Türkiye, which are evaluated within the “E1.A5 - Irano-Anatolian inland dunes” habitat type according to the European Nature Information System (EUNIS).

“…First contribution on the studies of steppe vegetation in Central Anatolia were made by Zohary (1973), whose classification was more or less based on the dominance principle (Kürschner & Parolly 2012). More detailed phytosociological studies on steppe and forest-steppe, following the Braun-Blanquet (1964) approach, were performed by Akman (1974Akman ( , 1990, Akman et al (1984Akman et al ( , 1986Akman et al ( , 1994Akman et al ( , 1996, Aydoğdu et al (1994Aydoğdu et al ( , 1999Aydoğdu et al ( , 2004, Yurdakulol et al (1990), Ketenoğlu et al (1996), Hamzaoğlu (2005), whereas a few phytosociological studies were conducted on wetland vegetation in Turkey (Akman et al 1993, Seçmen & Leblebici 1996, Seçmen & Leblebici 1997, Kutbay et al 1998, Karaömerlioğlu 2007, Kavgaci et al 2011, Korkmaz et al 2012, Özdeniz et al 2016. However, there are still gaps concerning phytosociological data of steppe, foreststeppe, and wetland communities in Central Anatolia due to unsurveyed areas.…”

AbstractThe Central Anatolian vegetation has diverse site conditions and small-scale plant diversity. For this reason, identification of plant communities is important for understanding their ecology and nature conservation. This study aims to contribute the syntaxonomical classification of the Central Anatolian vegetation. The study area is situated among Güzelyurt, Narköy, and Bozköy (Niğde) in the east of Aksaray province of Central Anatolia in Turkey. The vegetation data were collected using the phytosociological method of Braun-Blanquet and classified using TWINSPAN. The ecological characteristics of the units were investigated with Detrended Correspondence Analysis. Three new plant associations were described in the study. The steppe association was included in Onobrychido armenae-Thymetalia leucostomi and Astragalo microcephali-Brometea tomentelli. The forest-steppe association was classified under Quercion anatolicae in Quercetea pubescentis. The riparian association is the first poplar-dominated one described in Turkey and, classified under Alno glutinosae-Populetea albae and its alliance Populion albae.

“…The Cappadocia region and the surrounding area, including Ihlara Valley, is regarded as a moderately-well characterized region in terms of its floristic aspects (Çırpıcı, 1987). Several phytosociological studies on various vegetation types have been carried out (Düzenli, 1976;Aydoğdu et al, 1999;Ketenoğlu et al, 2000;Aydoğdu et al, 2002;Baysal, 2003;Aydoğdu et al, 2004;Ketenoğlu et al, 2008).…”

The aim of this study was to detect the syntaxa in the Ihlara valley vegetation which have not been previously phytosociologically assessed. Ihlara Valley is geographically located in Central Anatolia and in the Irano-Turanian phytogeographical regions. The study area is located within the B5 square based on the Grid System (Davis et al. 1965(Davis et al. -1985. According to the Braun-Blanquet (1932) method, there are three plant associations belonging to three different vegetation types in the region; Pistacio terebinthi -Celtidetum tournefortii (shrub vegetation), Astragaletum karamasicimicrocephali (tragacanth steppe vegetation), and Rubo sancti -Salicetum albae (riparian vegetation). These three syntaxa are all new to the world of science.
