Summary:

As a result of, while lower pH and clay ratio were determined in heath sites than heath+forest sites, total nitrogen, total porosity and soil organic matter were higher in heath sites than heath+forest sites. 100 fruit weight, number of stems per unit area and LMA were decreased in heath+forest sites than heath sites. According to elevation while the LMA values changed irregularly, plant height, number of stems per unit area and leaf area decrease. Positive corelation was determined between total polyphenol and altitude.
