Abstract
Graveyards are widely known among
orchidologists as finding places of several orchid species in Turkey, including some very rare
and localised ones. Graveyards provide places that are less strongly affected
by landscape-altering human activities than other habitats because of their
special cultural roles and religious privileges. In this study we performed a
comprehensive survey of Turkish graveyards as orchid habitats. In total, 300 graveyards
were studied in 30 provinces of Turkey
in 2014. 84 orchid taxa (almost half of the known Turkish orchid flora) were
found in 208 graveyards. From the studied provinces two south-southwestern
provinces (Muğla, Antalya) emerged as peaks of species richness. This finding
is in accordance with the overall biogeographical pattern of orchid diversity
in Turkey.
Our survey also contributes new floristic data to the orchid flora of Turkey.
We documented salep collection in 10 graveyards from six provinces involving
nine species. Altogether, we found orchids in 69% of the inspected graveyards,
allowing us to conclude that the occurrence of orchids in Turkish graveyards is
not a rare phenomenon. Thus, graveyards can be important refuges for orchids in
the changing economical and agricultural circumstances of Turkey.
