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).
