- Abstract
This research was conducted to determine vegetation structures of the native pastures in the five villages of district Kırıkhan, Hatay, in the year of 2009 . Vegetations of the pastures were studied by the Loop Method. In each pasture 1200 loop measurements in 12 lines were made. Plant-covered area rate, botanical composition in the plant covered area and similarity coefficients among the pastures were calculated from the loop measurements. 41 plant species of 41 genus from 22 plant families were determined on the vegetations of the pastures. Plant cover percentages varied between 84.4 % to 99.0 % and percentages of grasses, legumes and other family plants in the total plant cover varied between 48.8 %, and 8.9 %, 25.6 %, and 58.6 %, 22.1 %, and 45.0 %, respectively, as depending on the pastures. Community similarity coefficients varied between 0.53 and 0.94 as depending on the pastures. According to the quality scores, the pastures studied were in poor and very poor conditions. It was concluded that because of poor conditions of the pastures, the research on the determination of proper improvement methods for the pastures must be conducted.
