which is under impact of a warm climate and a regular
raining regime, is composed of all of the Black Sea
Region as well as Marmara and Thrace, and also from
place to place it is infiltrating into
Central and Eastern Anatolia
regions. Dominant plant cover of all of the Black Sea
Region is forests. Meadows are widespread in Marmara

Plants unique to this region are species used too much
on the contrary to the ones in Mediterranean. A mature
beech tree, is revealing half tones of water Per day
to atmosphere via perspiration. At the upper parts of
this plant society, beginning from 600 - 700 meters
height, beech trees are faced. At higher places, between
1. 100 and 1. 300 meters, breech - fir mixture begins,
and reaches till 1. 800 - 2. 000 meters. There are oak,
horn beech, black pine, badger trees within this plant
society. Also at east end of Black Sea fir trees leave
its place to spruce trees, which can leave at higher
altitudes and can reach to 2. 300 - 2. 400 meters within
forest. At least moist regions of higher levels yellow
pine forests, and at slopes facing south oak forests
are covering wide areas at middle levels.
