Abstract:

High/boz followers (Juniperus excelsa M. by Bieb) It accounts for 82% of the forest in Turkey. For the purpose of exploring the land conditions in which this dominant species grows, land samples from 20 different populations have been taken in terms of their geographical characteristics. Soil samples have been analyzed in terms of the quantity of some mineral substances important in the development of cranberries, cranberries, pH, salty, organic substances and plants. The results of the analyses found that the soil bodies were thin or sandy. The pH values in the soil have been shown to be between 7,0 and 8,0 and the soil is usually saltless. Most land samples have found that the quantities of silk and organic substances are medium or high. The quantities of Ca and Fe are too much, the quantity of P is medium-high, the quantity of Cu is enough, but the quantities of Mg, K, Mn and Zn are quite variable.  When the results of both this study and other similar studies were compared, the conclusion was that the soil conditions that the height follower needed to grow were quite flexible. In addition, it has been shown that this species can grow by adapting to the difficult land conditions and form forests. The findings show the ecological importance of this species.
