Abstract

Aim: The CSR strategy model classifies plant species based on established strategies in dealing with two groups of external environmental factors, namely stress and disturbance. The main objective of the present study was to analyze established strategies of some characteristic plant species in the alpine belt of the Giresun Mountains in Turkey and to determine any disturbance on plant species present in the study area.
