Today, population growth
has increased anthropological pressure on natural areas. Natural areas have
been destroyed, degraded, or fragmented as a result of anthropological
pressure. This has led to the fragmentation of habitats and their
diversification oreventual disappearance over time. This study investigated the
floristic similarities between Manavgat Sorgun Forest, TitreyenGöl, and Boğaz
Forest. The floristic structure of the three areas was determined, and the
plants in the floristic findings were coded. Coding was done according to plant
type, endemism status, IUCN status, angiosperm or gymnosperm status, medicinal
and commercial plant status, and class. Using this coding, the three areas were
compared using Modified Discriminant Analysis with SPSS 20.0 IBM COP program.
Historical (1985) and current (2022) Landsat satellite images of the areas were
examined. The median pixel values of all available images from 1985 and 2022
were calculated, and the median images from 1985 and 2022 were used. Thus, since
the prevailing sky over Antalya is cloudless throughout the year, cloudless
images and images free from other noise were produced. In addition, Google
Earth images of the areas from 1985 and 2025 were also examined.
