Habitat Classification of Cilo Glaciers and Their Surroundings
Abstract
This study was carried out for the habitat classification of the Cilo glaciers and their environments, which
have significant biological diversity within the borders of Hakkari National Park and are under serious
threat especially due to global climate change in Turkey. The study material consists of the data obtained
as a result of field studies conducted in 2018-2019. As a result of the studies, 11 habitat types were
determined on the area according to habitat types of The European Nature Information System (EUNIS)
and observations about these habitats were given. In addition, 4 types of vegetation are determined
according to the plant density with satellite images of the area. This research reveals the importance of
habitat type determination studies for important nature areas.
