A Study On The Adaptations Of Some Natural Ground Cover Plants And On Their Implications In Landscape Architecture In The Ecological Conditions Of Trabzon, Cengi̇z Acar, Mustafa Var

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

In this research, the adaptation and ground cover properties of some plants with aesthetic and functional features, found in the natural flora of the province of Trabzon, were investigated. Nineteen different natural ground cover plants from 8 families were chosen as trial plant material. These materials, which were mostly from the alpine zone, were planted as plugs in 1994. Survival rates and plant cover area were recorded and measured at the beginning of the vegetation season, during flowering, and at the end of the vegetation season in 1995 and 1996. Moreover, observations were made on some of the morphological properties …
