| Summary: | This research was conducted to determine vegetation structures of the native pastures in the five villages of district Eğil, Diyarbakır. Vegetations of the pastures were studied by the Loop Method. In each pasture 400 loop measurements in 4 lines were made. Plant-covered area rate, botanical composition in the plant covered area was calculated from the loop measurements. In the research, 35 plant species from 27 different genera of 10 plant families were obtained. As depending on the pastures, plant cover percentages varied between 26.60% to 60.36% and botanical composition rate of grasses, legumes and other family plants in the total plant cover varied between 27.81%, and 37.45%, 8.67%, and 39.31%, 23.24%, and 59.16%, respectively. The investigation, it was concluded that vegetations of the pastures were all composed of invader plants. |
