Abstract:

 



Caucasian Wingnut (Pterocarya pterocarpa (Michx.) Kunth ex I.Iljinsk.) is a fast growing tree species belongs to the Juglandaceae family. It is native to Turkey, Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Iran, and Ukraine. In Turkey, the species is mainly distributed in northern Turkey. Some relict small populations of the species are also seen in southern Turkey. In this study, eight new locality records in Adıyaman province are presented. These remote relict populations are on the verge of extinction due to recent intensive activities around the streams. Urgent studies and projects are needed for the conservation of these relict populations in the region.

Yalankoz (Pterocarya pterocarpa (Michx.) Kunth ex I.Iljinsk.) Juglandaceae familyasına ait hızlı gelişen bir ağaç türüdür. Doğal olarak Türkiye, Rusya, Azerbaycan, Ermenistan, Gürcistan, İran ve Ukrayna’da yayılış gösterir. Ayrıca relikt küçük populasyonları Güney Anadolu’da görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Adıyaman’da yeni belirlenen sekiz yeni populasyon sunulmuştur. Ana yayılıştan uzak söz konusu relikt populasyonlar yörede bulunan su kenarlarındaki yoğun faaliyetlerden dolayı yok olma tehlikesi sınırındadırlar. Yöredeki relikt populasyonların korunması için acil çalışma ve projelere ihtiyaç bulunmaktadır.
