Abstract:

 Genus Lilium Lily is represented by approximately 100 species worldwide. The genus is generally distributed in the cold and temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Most species of Lilium have been cultivated. These species stand out with their particularly pleasant scent and beautiful appearance. It is represented by 8 taxa in Türkiye. Two of these taxa are endemic, and the endemism ratio is 25. Lilium candidum Madonna Lily was first described by Carl von Linne. However, the first records of the species appear many years ago as drawings in Dioscorides work De Materia Medica. This study prioritizes within its scope to reveal the extent of the distribution of Lilium candidum within the borders of Izmir province, confirmation of the existence of its natural populations, the limiting factors negatively affects the species development and distribution, and the biotic and abiotic factors that threaten its populations and habitats. The study additionally examines the species population characteristics, habitat requirements, number of adult individuals, population distribution limits, reproduction and survival strategies, and relationships with the plant species in their habitats. The study also discusses within its scope suggestions for developing in-situ and ex-situ protection and production strategies for L. candidum populations in Izmir province. Lastly, the study expands the description of the species and reevaluates its International Union for Conservation of Nature IUCN category.

 Lilium cinsi Zambak dünya genelinde yaklaşık 100 kadar türle temsil edilmektedir. Cins genel olarak Kuzey yarıkürenin soğuk ve ılıman bölgelerinde yayılış göstermektedir. Lilium cinsine ait bir çok tür kültüre alınmıştır. Zambaklar özellikle hoş kokusu ve güzel görüntüsü ile ön plana çıkmaktadır. Lilium Türkiye genelinde 8 takson ile temsil edilmektedir. Bu taksonların ikisi endemik olup, endemizim oranı 25dir. Lilium candidum türü Ak zambak ilk kez Carl von Linné tarafından tanımlanmıştır. Ancak türün ilk kayıtları bundan çok daha uzun yıllar önce Dioscoridesin De Materia Medica isimli eserinde çizim olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışma kapsamında Lilium candidum un İzmir ili sınırları içerisinde yayılışının boyutları, doğal popülasyonlarının varlığının teyidi, türün gelişiminde ve yayılışında olumsuz etkileri olan sınırlayıcı faktörler ile popülasyonlarını ve habitatlarını tehdit eden biyotik ve abiyotik faktörlerin ortaya konulması, türün popülasyon özellikleri, habitat istekleri, ergin birey sayıları, popülasyon yayılış sınırları, çoğalma ve hayatta kalma stratejileri ve birlikte yaşadıkları bitki türleriyle olan ilişkilerinin incelemesini ön plandadır. Bununla beraber İzmir ili L. candidum popülasyonlarına in-situ ve ex-situ koruma ve üretim stratejileri geliştirilmesine yönelik öneriler de bu çalışma kapsamında ele alınmıştır. Ayrıca türün betimi genişletilmiştir ve IUCN kategorisi yeniden değerlendirilmiştir.
