dc.description.abstractSix swamp forests in Turkey have been evaluated as "Important Plant Areas. " In all 44 plant taxa are distributed on these sites. Out of these naturally distributed taxa, 12 are endemics (2 listed in the Bern species) and 32 are classified as rare (4 Bern species). In the phytosociological studies conducted on these habitats in Turkey, 18 plant communities have been reported. Out of these, 10 plant communities have been recorded from the "Euxine region" in Turkey. All of these belong to the class Salici purpureae-Populetea nigrae. Only one plant community belongs to the class Querco-Fagetea. In the Mediterranean region, there are 2 plant communities belonging to the class Alno-Populetea, whereas 5 plant communities are included in the class Molinio-Juncetea. As an important ecological heritage these forests have been separated as protected areas in Turkey, but are still facing a threat due to unsustainable human activities. We aim here to evaluate the impact of current and potential changes in the near future, the scope of sustainability, floristics, ecological, and syntaxonomic analysis of swamp forests in Turkey vis-a-vis the prospects and challenges regarding these ecologically unique forests. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.
