Summary:

Gymnospermae and 628 from the Angiospermae, and the remaining 22 taxa belong to

A.Uzun et Terzioğlu subass. nov. and Cyclamenetosum parviflori A.Uzun et Terzioğlu subass. nov.) in the study area. Plant species diversity through Domin scale was measured separately according to seral stages of secondary forest succession, forest stand types, altitude, forest types, and main slope aspects. According to results, highest species diversity was found in the establishment stage. Among the measured forest stand types, BDy-T has the highest plant diversity value. Altitudinal zone of 400-800 meters is the most diverse zone in the area. Broad-leaved deciduous forests are richer than the others. Main slope aspects are not significantly different according to plant species diversity except for tree storey.
