Abstract

In Turkey, approximately 20,000 vegetation releves do exist in total. However, there is no central database for Turkish vegetation releves at present (2011). I started building the Vegetation Database of Oak Communities in Turkey (GIVD ID AS-TR-002) from published and unpublished data such as master and PhD theses, reports and articles in local and international journals. In total, 1,181 releves were entered in TURBOVEG format for oak vegetation releves, including woodlands and forests. Plots were georeferenced using the Google Earth plugin integrated in the TURBOVEG software. Typical header data, such as altitude or aspect were entered when available. Most of the releves belong to the vegetation classes Quercetea ilicis and Quercetea pubescentis.
