Özet:

 Aethionema turcica and Astragalus beypazaricus are rare endemic plant species restricted to marly-gypsaceous soils from Ankara, Turkey. In a study in 2000, Ae.turcica and A.beypazaricus were classified under the Least Concern and Critically Endangered threat categories, respectively. This study aimed to reassess the global conservation status of these species according to the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria by using the recent findings based on their population sizes, distribution areas, and the main threats. Field research was conducted between 2016 and 2018. Additionally, physical-chemical soil tests were run, and the climatic data were utilized to draw bioclimatic conclusions. In Ankara, there are two populations of Ae.turcica, with 359 mature individuals covering 12 km2 AOO and 23.5 km2 EOO areas. A.beypazaricus has only one fragmented population with a total of 5700 mature individuals in Beypazarı, and both AOO and EOO were discovered to be 4 km2. Both species are on the verge of extinction due to habitat fragmentation and loss formed by intense anthropogenic activity. According to the findings, the IUCN threat categories for Ae.turcica and A.beypazaricus were suggested to be reclassified as CR based on the criteria B1abii, iii and B1abii, iii2abii, iii, respectively.
