TY - JOUR TI - Floristic Diversity of Handüzü Natural Park and Environs, Turkey AB - The floristic diversity of Handüzü Natural Park and Environs as aprotected area within Kaçkar Mountains chain, situated in Güneysuand İkizdere counties of Rize (Turkey) was studied. Overall, 517 taxabelong to 352 genera and 104 families were determined. Twenty-threeof these taxa are represented in division Pteridophyta while 494 ofthem are in division Spermatophyta. Ten of Spermatophytes are insubdivision Gymnospermae and 484 of them are in subdivisionAngiospermae. 89 of Angiosperms are in class Liliopsida while 395 ofthem in class Magnoliopsida. The endemism ratio in the study area is4.25% (22 taxa). Phytogeographic elements are listed in order as:multiregional-unknown phytogeography root 47.4% (245), EuroSiberian 47.2% (244), Irano-Turanian 2.1% (11), and Mediterranean3.3% (17). The life spectrum of taxa is as follows: Hemicryptophytes48.7% (252), phanerophytes 16.1% (83), therophytes 15.7% (81),chamaephytes 10.4% (54), and cryophytes 9.1 %, (47). The richestfamilies in taxa are Asteraceae (52), Poaceae (35), Rosaceae (31),Fabaceae (25), and Lamiaceae (24). In the study area 22 taxa werefound as threatened taxa at different threatened levels. The results ofthe study was compared with the results of 10 studies carried out inRize and neighboring cities.
