Turkey has the largest coastal area in Mediterranean, possesses an extraordinarily rich flora, and a great traditional knowledge. This diversity of plants naturally affects use is reflected Turkish cuisine. Consequently, Mediterranean Diet (whose typical components are wild greens) constitutes one important elements For this reason, aim study was to determine consumption edible green for Aegean Region establish similarities or differences from other regions cuisine Basin. compiles evaluates...
The purpose of this study is to determine the present levels atmospheric heavy metal pollution in area Kazdagi Mountain Aegean region western part Turkey.Twenty-five different plants were selected as potential biomonitors trace elements including nickel, iron, zinc, lead, cadmium, and manganese (µg g -1 , dry weight).The samples collected from two heights Mt.Kazdagi.Atomic absorption spectrometry was used concentrations elements.The mean determined at 600 m altitude ranged 0.107 0.442, 0.269...
This study was conducted in order to exhibit some of the ecological and economical attributes Vitex agnus-castus, a typical Mediterranean plant. The two different stages. At first, soil samples V. agnus-castus were collected from 38 localities Western Anatolian part Turkey during flowering investigate properties. It observed that this plant generally prefers loamy-textured, neutral, slightly alkaline soils poor calcium carbonate, containing varying amounts organic matter, moderate rich...
