“…macrocarpa , Eleagnus angustifolia and Hippophae rhamnoides ‐dominated shrublands occurring on lowland sand dune or riverbed sites were also grouped under relict Mediterranean vegetation. Tamarix smyrnensis ‐dominated vegetation on riverbeds in northern Anatolia was classified within Rubo sancti‐Nerion oleandri of Tamericetalia africanae and Tamaricetea (Vegetation type 1) (Mucina et al., 2016; Mumcu & Korkmaz, 2021).…”

QuestionsWhat are the main vegetation types of forest and shrubland vegetation in central and eastern Euxine Turkey and SW Georgia? What are the main environmental factors affecting their diversity? What is their syntaxonomic position? Can we integrate them into the European vegetation classification system?LocationCentral and eastern Euxine Turkey and SW Georgia.MethodsWe collected 3104 vegetation plots of forest and shrubland vegetation in the study region and performed Two‐Way Indicator Species Analysis (TWINSPAN) classification. We described vegetation types based on the classification results, expert knowledge and information from literature sources. We defined diagnostic species and prepared distribution maps for each vegetation type. To determine the most significant environmental variables on floristic differentiation, we used canonical correspondence analysis. Detrended correspondence analysis with passive projection of most significant environmental variables was run to interpret the environmental variation of vegetation types.ResultsThe studied vegetation was divided into 29 vegetation types related to seven main vegetation groups: relict Mediterranean forests and shrubland (mainly along the coastline, beside some inland localities), lowland to submontane forests, central Euxine mountain forests, eastern Euxine (Colchic) mountain forests, subeuxine forests, azonal riparian forests and subalpine and alpine shrubland. Elevation is the most important factor causing the differentiation in vegetation. It is followed by longitude and latitude. Among climatic variables, temperature seasonality, annual precipitation and precipitation of the wettest quarter are the most significant factors for vegetation differentiation. These factors correlate with the reduction of maritime climate and geomorphological features.ConclusionsVegetation types mostly correspond to the syntaxa accepted in the EuroVegChecklist. However, some of them do not appear in the EuroVegChecklist since they appear only beyond Europe. We described three syntaxa as new: Abietion equi‐trojani, Querco cerridis‐Carpinion orientalis and Piceo orientalis‐Fagenion orientalis. The study revealed high vegetation diversity of the region that should be taken into consideration in ecosystem management and used as a reference in restoration and mitigation of the effects of global changes.

Plants have the ability to adapt to different environments with some anatomical and morphological changes. In this study, the leaf and stem structure of Tamarix tetrandra Pallas ex. Bieb. species, which are distributed in riparian and salt marshes, were examined in terms of anatomical and micromorphological aspects. Plant samples were preserved in 70% alcohol for anatomical study. Herbarium specimens were used for micromorphological studies. The studies showed that there were differences in anatomy and micromorphology. It was found that the stomata were embedded in the epidermis in the samples distributed in the salt marsh. In addition, stem epidermal cell length, sclerenchyma cell diameter, sieve tube cell diameter, and pith cell diameter were found to be greater in riparian species. In the correlation analysis, a positive correlation was observed between leaf lower surface stomata width and upper epidermis cell width, and between stem sclerenchymatic cell diameter and upper epidermis cell width in species distributed in salt marshes. The studies did not find intensive salt accumulation in the stem and leaf structures of the species that spread in the salt marsh. Salt uptake is thought to be inhibited in these species.
