FRANSIZ AKÇAAĞACI (Acer monspessulanum subsp. monspessulanum)'NIN TÜRKİYE'DE YENİ BİR YAYILIŞ ALANI

OZET Usak ili Esme ilcesi dogusunda Ahmetler ile Gedikler koyu arasinda yer alan Beydagi uzerinde, 2013 yilinda yapmis oldugumuz arazi calismalari sirasinda, bir Acer L. turu olan Acer monspessulanum subsp. monspessulanum tarafimizdan ilk defa tespit edilmistir. Beydag ve cevresi, Turkiye de Fransiz Akcaagaci’nin topluluk olusturdugu ikinci alandir. Andezitlerden yapili dik yamaclarda yayilis gosterir. Sahada boyu 7 metreyi, govde capi 50 cm.yi bulan agaclar bulunmaktadir. Bitki kutlenin guney kisminda 850 metreden itibaren yayilis gostermeye baslar ve zirvelere kadar cikar. Agac cok yogun sekilde tahribata ugramis, varligi azalmis ve insanlarin ulasamadigi zirve kesimlerde kalmistir. Beydagi’ndaki Fransiz akcaagaci populasyonu uzerinde en buyuk baskiyi kucukbas hayvan yetistiriciligi olusturmaktadir. Kucukbas hayvanlar bitkinin tohumlarini tuketerek dogal genclesmeyi ve buyumeyi engellemektedir. Bitkinin yayilis gosterdigi alanin koruma altina alinmasi gereklidir.

Beydag and its district is the second area in which Acer monspessulanum subsp. monspessulanum forms a community in Turkey. It expands on the steep hillsides which are made of andesites. There are trees that are about 7 meters tall and 50 cm body diameter. The plant starts to scatter from 850 meters in the South of the bulk and ascends to the peaks. The tree has been deeply damaged and disembarked, it exists in the peak parts which cannot be reached by human beings. The sheep and goat breeding generates the biggest influence on the population of Acer monspessulanum subsp. monspessulanum on the mount Beydag. The sheep and goat prevent the natural regeneration and growth by consuming the seeds of the plant. It is essential to be taken the field in which the plant scatters under protection.
