Özet
In this study, the usability of some herbaceous halophytes grown naturally in salt marshesthat dry most of the year in Central Anatolia Region were investigated in landscapedesign. Within the scope of the research, in the years of 2016 and 2017, seasonal fieldstudies were carried out in saline habitats in the vicinity of Konya, Ankara, Aksaray andNevşehir, and taken photographs and herbarium samples of halophytic plant species. Thegeneral botanical and ecological characteristics of the selected species are given and thevalues used in landscape design have been determined considering the aesthetic andfunctional properties. As a result of the field studies carried out during the vegetationperiods, 59 halophytic plant species, belonging to 38 genera and 19 families that could beused in landscape design were identified. The most representative family was theAsteraceae with 11 species, followed by Plumbaginaceae (9 species) andChenopodiaceae (8 species). The genus Limonium from Plumbaginaceae family is wellrepresented with 8 species for landscape use. The endemism rate of halophytes used inlandscape design is 42% (25 species) in the research area. The most common uses inlandscape design are determined in roof gardens by 49 species, followed in groundconservation and erosion prevention by 31 species. Since these halophytic species, whichare mostly succulent and endemic, are well adapted into both wet and dry areas. Their usein landscape design is of great importance for restoration of arid and barren land, whichmay increase as a result of global climate change, conservation of biodiversity as well assustainable agricultural practices.
