Summary:

      In this study, wood and soil samples were taken from 10 maple tree taxa, which are native to the Black Sea Region, and from their different growth environments (Depending on the location and the altitude).

On samples of wood; tangential and radial diameters of vessels, number of vessels in 1 mm2, lengths of vessel elements, multiseriate ray width and (micron and cell) height, numbers of ray in 1 mm, numbers of ray in 1 mm2, numbers of mültiseriate ray in 1 mm2, numbers of üniseriate ray in 1 mm2, lengths of fibre, widths of fibre, widths of fibre lumen and thickness of fibre wall for measures and countings, presence of vascular tracheids, position of wood parenchyma, type of rays and crystals were determined.

       Samples of soil; physical (ratio of sand, silt and clay) and chemical (pH, electrical conductivity, organic matter and total lime amount) features, type and available water capacities of soil were identified.

The differences of the wood anatomical features belonging to different Maple species were tried to evaluated regarding different data, which was taken from different growth environment by using variance analysis, duncan’s test and correlation analysis.
