The present study aimed to show how the vegetation structure in the southern part of the Gelibolu (Gallipoli) Peninsula (south of the Eceabat-Kabatepe Highway) is formed according to the site characteristics. For this purpose, 100 sample areas each with a size of 400 m2 were taken. Proportions of the trees, bushes and perennial plants in the sample areas were assessed according to the Braun-Blanquet method. In order to determine the general soil characteristics of the study area, topsoil samples were taken at 0–30 cm depth level from 51 sample areas and the bedrock type was determined. Analyses were made on the soil samples for soil reaction (pH), lime, organic carbon, total nitrogen and texture. Additionally, coordinate, elevation, aspect and slope determinations were made in each sample area. For assessments,in consideration of geographical characteristics and especially topographic structure, the study field was divided into 6 different districts, and the vegetation structure was examined at these 6 districts. As a result of study, 61 different plant species were determined, and it was found that especially topographic structure and aspect were very influential on the distribution of these species. The influence of aspect can be explained by the effects of insolation and prevailing wind on field moisture. The study also determined that individuals of the species in wind-exposed areas and especially in areas close to seashore were often shorter and deformed compared to those in areas sheltered from wind. This can be explained by the fact that where the Mediterranean climate is dominant, plants reduce their above-ground parts for avoiding exposure to physiological drought because strong winds trigger transpiration.
