Abstract

This study was carried out on 2 permanent plots of Quercus cerris L var cerris woodland in the Kurupelit region of Samsun northern Turkey Grimes CSR strategies were determined for 85 plant species from the 2 study plots (61 and 50 species from plot 1 and plot 2, respectively) according to the method that was applied Most of the plant species in both plots had secondary and tertiary strategies and this suggests that plants were exposed to more than one pressure factor In both plots CR (competitor ruderal) was the most common strategy
