| Özet |
| In Taurus Mountains, orobiome and/or mountain environment is defined as the area covered by upper part of forest or oro-Mediterranean forest starting 1200m elevation and above the native timberline in terms of ecological conditions. Turkey, which is found in the Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt, contains oro-forests and subalpine pasture areas. Taurus Mountains extending in the southern part of Mediterranean geographical region abruptly rise from the Mediterranean coast and climb up to 3500 m of elevation. Karstic topographic forms notably karstic depressions and plateau surfaces are common between the elevation of 1800 and 2200 m in Taurus Mountains. The south facing slopes of Taurus Mountains have been deeply dissected by the rivers flowing into Mediterranean Sea. Oro-mediterranean climate which is characterized with cool and seldom orographic rainfall summers and snowy and cold winters prevaisl. The southern high slopes of the Taurus Mountains get humid air mass coming from Mediterranean Sea leading fog and rainfall during summers and this situation creates humid conditions which is favourable for the growth of productive forest and herbaceous vegetation. Most of the Taurus Mountains are mainly composed of limestone belonging to Palaeozoic, Mesozoic and Eocene periods. The thickness of the Mesozoic limestone is more than at least 1000 m. Reddish Brown and high mountain soils are widespread in this area. Pure cedar (Cedrus libani) forests and mixed forest associated with Taurus fir (Abies cilicica), black pine (Pinus nigra) and Cedrus libani trees are dominant in the upper part of forest belt.
