Özet

Botanical and floristic composition study was carried out to gather information about the vegetation of the pastures. In this study, canopy covering, botanical composition ratios and pasture condition class were examined. Botanical composition measurements were made in Trovit plateau of Çamlıhemşin district of Rize province. Botanical composition study was determined by using Lup method which is used in vegetation measurements. The lup measurements were conducted by collecting samples from 10 points on 5 main lines. As a result of the study; 4 Poaceae, 2 Fabaceae and 32 taxon from other families were identified. The canopy coverage rate was determined as 79.15%. The botanical composition of study area consist of 21.24% Poaceae, 13.66% Fabaceae and 65.10% other families. The pasture condition was found to be “Weak” with 2.365 pasture degree. Studies should be made to determine suitable pasture breeding method for the region in order to bring "Weak" pasture to at least "Medium" level.
