Habitat maps are used as a basis for management plans and to define preservation objectives at the regional and national levels by ecologists, environmentalists, administrators, and nature conservationists (Mergen and Karacaoğlu 2015;. The habitats identified on the area are as follows.…”

This study was carried out for the habitat classification of the Cilo glaciers and their environments, which have significant biological diversity within the borders of Hakkari National Park and are under serious threat especially due to global climate change in Turkey. The study material consists of the data obtained as a result of field studies conducted in 2018-2019. As a result of the studies, 11 habitat types were determined on the area according to habitat types of The European Nature Information System (EUNIS) and observations about these habitats were given. In addition, 4 types of vegetation are determined according to the plant density with satellite images of the area. This research reveals the importance of habitat type determination studies for important nature areas.

“…Since the habitat types were determined on a European scale in 1998, studies to identify EUNIS habitat types and threat factors on related habitat types have been common for the last 10 years in Türkiye (Arslan et al, 2012;Mergen and Karacaoglu, 2015;Geven et al, 2016;Ciftci and Hasbenli, 2018;Tezel et al, 2020;Aytac, 2020, 2021).…”

In this study, it was aimed to determine the terrestrial EUNIS habitat types of Mount Ganos (Işıklar) and its surroundings. Field studies were carried out from April to October in 2021. Reference areas were determined for Maximum Likelihood (ML) classification during the field studies. To increase the accuracy and obtain highest possible level of EUNIS habitat types, we used both reference areas observed in the field studies and processed land cover and habitat maps. These are Landsat Satellite Images classified with ML, Corine Land Cover and European ecosystem maps. Mount Ganos is one of the most important natural areas of the Tekirdağ district in terms of both biodiversity and social activities. While Mediterranean climate is seen on the southern slopes of the mountain, the northern slopes have a rainier and more humid climate compared to the southern parts. The presence of different climate types and the remarkable differences in altitude (for example, the sudden rise to 300-400 meters above sea level) have also increased the diversity of habitats in the region. Many natural areas have been degraded due to anthropogenic effects such as mineral extraction, agricultural, tourism and urbanization activities in the Mount Ganos region until today. A total of 9 ecosystems and 29 habitat types were determined for Mount Ganos according to the EUNIS classification. 21 of them were identified at level 3 and 8 of them ranged between 2 and 6 level. The intensive unmixed crops (I1.1) are the most-covered EUNIS habitat type with 16173.16 hectares. This is followed by low and medium altitude hay meadows (E2.2, 9350.63 ha), Meso- and eutrophic Quercus, Carpinus, Fraxinus, Acer, Tilia, Ulmus and related woodland (G1.A, 7548.73 ha) and Pseudomaquis (F5.3, 5926.65 ha). With this study, a portrait of the habitat destruction created by man has also been drawn. The results of this study can be used by decision makers to conserve the remaining natural habitats on the Mount Ganos.
