These are endemic species for
Turkey. The defining properties of these plant taxa,
containing family, life form, and habitat distribution,
are given in Table 1. Because Grime’s CSR system
requires the adult phase of plants, 20 mature
individuals were collected from the Kırklar Mountain
for each taxa in June 2011. Plant individuals were
collected from steppe and rocky habitats,
quintessentially. The taxonomic nomenclature
followed that of Davis (1965-1985) and Davis et al.
(1988). The CSR strategies of the taxa were assessed
according to Hodgson et al. (1999).
