%X In this study, cultivated forage crops were investigated in some range rehabilitation in Bart£¿n province by Bart£¿n Directorate Of Provincial Food Agriculture and Livestock and Black Sea Agricultural Research Institute. The aim of this study is to give information about the general characteristics of cultivated plants in range rehabilitation studies in Bart£¿n province. For this purpose, some range rehabilitation projects were studied. Some morphological, ecological and agricultural characteristics of the cultivated plants in these studies were explained. In this research, range rehabilitation studies were evaluated in Meke£¿ler and Kurtk£¿y districts of Bart£¿n province.It was stated that rangeland areas of Kurtk£¿y¨¹ was mostly covered with shrubs, forest plants and Galega officinalis before rangeland rehabilitation was studied. It was impressed that rangeland areas of Meke£¿ler was covered with Lotus corniculatus, Trifolium repens, Lolium perenne, Poa pratensis, Agropyron intermedium, Medicago sp., Paliurus spina-christi, Rosa sp., Bellis perennis, Taraxacum sp. before rangeland rehabilitation was studied. Plant species of Poa pratensis (18%), Festuca pratensis (18%), Dactylis glomerata (18%), Lolium perenne (18%), Lotus corniculatus (14%) and Trifolium repens (14%) were cultivated in range rehabilitation in Kurtk£¿y¨¹ and Meke£¿ler. The most important reason of selection of these plants for range rehabilitation is that these plants have the high value in terms of livestock and exist in the natural flora of Bart£¿n province. The farmers may experience some problems in terms of qualified forage for animals from rangeland areas. Because, not only the decreaser plants grow in the natural rangland, but also the increaser and invader plant species grow in these areas. In range rehabilitation, the cultivated plant species are very important in terms of sustainability of rangeland areas. It was expressed that the botanical composition was improved in the rehabilitated areas. These rangeland rehabilitation studies were contributed to our country in terms of livestock husbandry, water and soil protection, inexpensive and high quality forage plants. However, application of the range rehabilitation by artificial seedind is very costly. For this reason, preservation and monitoring of these rangeland areas are necessary. These areas should be managed appropriate grazing system. Thus, the sustainability of these areas are provided
