A Research on plant taxa with invasive character in Bingöl (City centre) and surroundings

In this study, potential plant taxa with the invasive character that spread in Bingöl (Center) and surrounding areas were determined and EUNIS Habitat types were revealed according to the environment in which these taxa live. In addition, an invasive species inventory has been created in based on literature carried out in Bingöl province As a result of the research; It has been observed that 107 genera and 158 taxa belonging to 27 families that spread in Bingöl (Center) and surrounding areas can be included in the potential plants class with invasive characteristics. Among these, the families with the most taxa are; Fabaceae (36 taxa, 22.8%), Asteraceae (34 taxa, 21.5%) and Poaceae (26 taxa, 16.5%). The most taxa containing genera; Trifolium L. (15 taxa, 9.5%) followed by Centaurea L., Lathyrus L., Poa L. and Vicia L. with 4 taxa each, respectively. During the study, 11 different EUNIS habitat types where invasive taxa spread were identified. In the distribution of taxa according to EUNIS habitat types, the first three habitats are; "I1.5 Bare tilled, fallow or recently abandoned arable land" (62 taxa, 17.9%), "E1. Dry grasslands" (53 taxa, 15.4%) and "I2 Cultivated areas of gardens and parks" (51taxa, 14.8%).
