Abstract
Prolonged intervention of forest in Anatolia settled for thousands of years caused to broaden the boundaries of anthropogenic steppe vegetations. This research was carried out for the synecological and syntaxonomical investigation of this vegetation on Arat Mountain. The research area is located in the western part of the Southeastern Anatolia, located between the outer edges of the southeastern arc of Taurus Mountains and Turkey—Syria border, which is notable with a wide plateau view, generally appeals with simple and plain geo- morphologic features. The plateau consisting of dish basin integrated with domed mountains and hills of medium height gradually descend from north to south and eventually meet the Mesopotamian plain. Diyarbakir basin located on eastern half of the region is surrounded by Taurus Mountains in the north and northeast side, Mardin—Midyat threshold in the south and Karacadag volcanoes in the west sides. The vegetation of the research area was analyzed by Braun—Blanquet approach and three new steppe associations are determined.
