Variations in seasonal responses in water relations and total carbohydrate content (TCC) in one-yearold shoots from precommercially thinned (PCT) and unthinned Anatolian black pine stands were assessed during three seasons (sampling in May, July and September) in 2015-2017. Three different...

Cortinarius dibaphus, an uncommon to rare species in Europe where it is known mainly from Abies alba forest, is reported as a new from Turkey based on morphology and nrITS sequence analyses. It was found in the forest under Abies nordmanniana subsp. equi-trojani, which is a new host. Comprehensive...

In this study, changes in water relations and biochemical characteristics of trees during summer drought in 22- year-old Taurus cedar (Cedrus libani A. Rich.) and Anatolian black pine [Pinus nigra Arn. subsp. pallasiana (Lamb.) Holmboe] afforestation area located in central of Isparta were...

The identification of species based on anatomical characters is valuable to investigate their taxonomic status, phylogeny and understand their autoecology. The current study analysed the stem and leaf properties of 20 species of the subgenus Cyanus (Mill.) Hayek in Turkey. The Cyanus species...

Knautia goecmenii, from Nif Mountain (İzmir) in western Anatolia (Turkey), is described as a new species based on morphological and molecular evidence. Its phylogenetic relationships within the genus are provided based on the nuclear-encoded ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region....

Two new fossil species based on the study of wood remains and leaf imprints from the middle Eocene Çekerek Formation (central-northern part of Turkey) are assigned to the palm family Arecaceae. Standard thin sections from the two samples of fossil wood were investigated and identified as Palmoxylon ...

Petrified woods from Turkey have provided important information on forest composition and structure during the Miocene. This study describes a new fossil forest site at Haymana in Ankara Province, Anatolia (Turkey) and furthers our understanding of the prevailing Miocene vegetation. Woods...

Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky), which is one of the main tree species of our country's forests, constitutes approximately 8.5% of total country forests, with a distribution area of approximately 1.9 million hectares. Within the scope of this study, it was aimed to determine the change of...

This study provides a new insight into Turkish Salix L. systematics, using a molecular phylogeny and numerical morphometric analysis approach. Despite its economic importance for bioenergy, there is to date no record of any extensive study on this Turkish willow species. Twenty-four Salix species...

The taxonomy and phylogeny of Hydropus subalpinus and Leucoinocybe lenta were investigated on the basis of morphological features and multi-gene molecular analysis (nrITS, nrLSU, tef-1α data sets) in order to elucidate the taxonomic status of these two rare species, and delineate a natural...
