Abstract
 

Ipomoeo – Elymetumfarcti (Géhu, Uslu et Costa 1989) association is endemic for coastal dunes of East Mediterranean of Turkey. This association is identified in Patara, Kumluca, Side of Antalya province, in Anamur and Taşucu, in Atakent-Narlıkuyu between Silifke-Erdemli, ofİçel province and in Karataş-Innaplihoyuk of Adana province. Mediterranean floristic region of about 60 vascular plants have been identified within the study area. The association consists of grasses whose lengths vary between 5-50cm. This association has embryo and mobile dune vegetation is perennial. Samples of soil which are mostly representative were obtained from the depths of 0-30 cm. The relationship of the plant associations with soil were determined by physical (water saturation %, humidity %, Wilting Point %, usable water %, grain size) and chemical (pH, CaCO3 content %, total salt) analysis. The association’s dominant species are Elymusfarctus ssp. farctus, Ipomoea stolonifera, Cyperuscapitatus, Eryngiummaritimum, Medicago marina, Euphorbia paralias, Otanthusmaritimus and Sporobolusvirginicus. Most of the work place is filled with quaternary type of land. Stations in the study area, The central Mediterranean (WASS) and the Eastern Mediterranean I. Type (WSAS) precipitation regimes show and the work place has “Rainy Sub Soft, Rainy Sub Hot, A Little Rainy Warm, A little Rainy Soft” Mediterranean Bioclimate.
