Özet:

 This research was carried out in the Taşoluk natural pasture with an average altitude of 1550 meters and an average slope of 22, located in the Karacasu district of Aydın province, during the 2022 vegetation period. In the study, the vegetation characteristics in the natural pasture area were examined. Vegetation measurements were done by using loop and quadrat methods. As a result of the research, 147 taxa belonging to 37 families were identified in the pasture area. The families with the most taxa were Asteraceae with 17 taxa, Lamiacea with 13 taxa and Poaceae with 9 taxa, respectively. The plant-covered area value of the study area was determined as 44. In addition, 44.79 of the botanical composition of the pasture area consists of poaceae, 31.23 of fabaceae and 23.98 of other families. The above-ground biomass amount of the pasture area was determined as 302.02 kgda, and the below-ground biomass amount was determined as 322.80 kgda. Grazing capacity was determined as 59.88 animal units and pasture condition was determined as medium. Research results show that there is intense grazing pressure in the natural pasture area and the pasture vegetation is damaged. This situation reveals the need to reduce grazing pressure and increase quality vegetation cover that protects the soil against erosion by improving natural pastures and applying appropriate improvement methods.

 Bu araştırma, Aydın ili Karacasu ilçesinde yer alan ortalama 1550 metre rakıma ve 22 eğime sahip Taşoluk doğal merasında 2022 yılı vejetasyon döneminde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada doğal mera alanının bitki örtüsü özellikleri incelenmiştir. Vejetasyon ölçümlerinde lup ve kuadrat yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda mera alanında 37 familyaya ait 147 adet bitki taksonu tespit edilmiştir. En çok taksona sahip familyalar sırasıyla 17 takson ile Asteraceae, 13 takson ile Lamiacea ve 9 takson ile Poaceae olarak saptanmıştır. Çalışma sahasının bitkiyle kaplı alan değeri 44 olarak belirlenmiştir. Mera alanının botanik kompozisyonunun 44.79unu buğdaygiller, 31.23ünü baklagiller ve 23.98ini diğer familyalar oluşturmaktadır. Mera alanının topraküstü biyokütle miktarı 302.02 kgda, toprakaltı biyokütle miktarı ise 322.80 kgda olarak belirlenmiştir. Otlatma kapasitesi 59.88 BBHB ve mera durumu ise orta olarak tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları, doğal mera alanında yoğun otlatma baskısının mevcut olduğunu ve mera vejetasyonunun zarar gördüğünü göstermektedir. Bu durum, doğal meraların ıslah edilmesi ve uygun iyileştirme yöntemlerinin uygulanması yoluyla otlatma baskısının azaltılması ve toprağı erozyona karşı koruyan kaliteli bitki örtüsünün artırılması gereğini ortaya koymaktadır.
