Determination of Pasture Status of Ordekl？ Village Pasture in Hakkari Province

This study was carried out to determine the yield and botanical composition of grazing and protected part of Ordekli village pastures of Hakkari province using the Loop method in the vegetation period of 2016. Differences were determined in the grazing and protected areas as number of species, plant life lengths, the ratio of reducing/replicating/invasive species in botanical composition, area covered with plant and hay yield. In the area, 70 species of 17 families were found with the highest and lowest participation rates in botanical composition of 14.90% and 0.27% respectively in the Asteraceae and Geraniaceae families. The most common species in the pasture were found to be Prangos ferulacea, Poa bulbosa and Tanacetum nitens. In the pasture, as average covered with plant is 93.75% and the rates of decreasing, replicating and invasive species was determined 2.80%, 10.95% and 85.05% respectively.
