ABSTRACT
Tuz Lake is one of the most important natural areas in the world with its distinguished flora and fauna. It is the second largest lake in Turkey. The lake is located within the boundaries of three cities, Aksaray, Konya, and Ankara. With-in the study area, there are 64 residential areas. Tuz Lake is located in a closed basin and has a geologically tectonic origin. The Lake and the surrounding areas were declared as an area of natural importance in 1992 and consequently as a Special Environmental Protection Area(SEPA), in 2000 was designated as the largest in the country with 7,414 km². The aim of this study was to determine the habitat types in the study area according to the European Nature Information System (EUNIS) and identify the changes in these habitat types for the last 20 years using the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) techniques. As a result, 12 EUNIS habitat types and the changes in these habitats for the year 1987 and 2007 were determined. Habitat types for 1987 and 2007 remained the same (12) but, the Surface Running Waters (C2) habitats in 1987 were transformed into small–scale ornamental and domestic garden areas (I2.2) in 2007. This finding shows the effect of anthropogenic pressure on the Tuz Lake Special Environmental Protection Area (SEPA). The results of this study have implications for the management practices of Tuz Lake SEPA.

ABSTRACT
Macroalgae and angiosperms are proposed as biological elements to assess the ecological status of coastal waters and transitional systems by the EU Water Framework Directive. Recently, the Ecological Evaluation Index (EEI) was intercalibrated in the Mediterranean eco-region by the Mediterranean Geographic Intercalibration Group (MEDGIG). In the present paper, the EEI was tested at two different localities, the inner and outer bays of the city Ayvalık located on the Aegean coast of Turkey. The study shows a high ecological quality for the outer bay, whereas, the inner bay is of moderate quality.
Keywords: Ayvalık, EEI, macroalgae, macrophytes, and Turkey

ABSTRACT
This study was carried out at a limestone quarry of the Kartaş Company at the Bozanönü village in the Isparta region in 2010. Two blast trials, one with a classical drill cuttings stemming method and new plaster stemming method were carried out and the environmental and ecological effects were measured in terms of vibration and air shock and observed flying rock. The results were evaluated in terms of environmental and ecological values. In the one series of blast tests, the blast cost was reduced to 16 % by increasing the burden and spacing distance for the unit volume rock. In this way, 21% more blast area and the 21% more rock was obtained with the same hole-drilling. It means that lesser drilling and lesser blasting results in lesser environmental and ecological effects for obtaining the unit volume rock.
Blast trial with plaster stemming produced less oversize material. For instance, +30 cm size fragments reduced to 5.4 % compared to 37.7 % in the conventional method of classical drill cutting stemming. In the next process, both the product can be broken and ground more profitable and especially the dust problem and other grinding and breaking induced environmental and ecological damage will be reduced. Therefore, it is expected that the new stemming method will commonly be preferred in the future. Using the new plaster stemming method, in spite of the 88 m measuring distance, vibration, and air shock values increased in the Peak Particle velocity (PPV) value from 12.0 mm/s to 17.8 mm/s and in the air shock value from 132 dB to 132.9 dB by directing more blast energy to rock breakage. Firstly in spite of it being seen as a disadvantage, it is not a disadvantage because of the total work (lower specific charge and specific drilling). In other words, we can obtain the same rock with lesser drilling and lesser explosives. In addition, these increased values were small and under the permitted limit of blast damage criteria in spite of the short measuring distance. Within the blasting area especially the birds, mammals, plants, as well as other living organisms can be affected. In terms of reducing the bad effects of blasting on the biological diversity, the new method provides successful and encouraging results because of a lower specific charge and specific drilling.

ABSTRACT
The community structures and seasonal changes of soil microarthropods were investigated in a natural Sessile Oak (Quercus petraea) stand and adjacent Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris) plantation located in the Belgrad Forest of Istanbul. Soils for microarthropods were sampled monthly using steel soil corers between November 2008 and October 2009. Soil fauna samples were extracted with a modified Berlese-Tullgren funnel and stored in 70% ethanol. A total of 26 taxons of microarthropods were identified in the oak stand and Scots pine plantation. The mean annual number of microarthropods per square meter was 42.851 for the oak stand versus 42.276 for the Scots pine plantation. The Collembola and Acarina are the two dominant taxa in numbers constituting 94% and 93% of all soil microarthropods of the native oak and Scots pine plantation, respectively. The Shannon diversity index (H') of microarthropods in the Scots pine site (1.72) was found significantly (P=0.008) higher than those of the native oak (1.57). This result implies that even though conversion of Sessile oak land to a Scots pine plantation may decrease the abundance but increased the diversity of soil microarthropods.

ABSTRACT
Habitat and population properties of Erodium somanum with also changing these characters timely were investigated. Distribution soils of this species are slightly alkaline, without salt and generally limes structure, adequate for ferrous but poor for phosphor. Climate type is semi-arid upper Mediterranean especially winter is cool. Distribution area of population is approximately 5 km2. Population density calculated as 3.04. According to results of size and sexual dispersal of individuals, a total of 83% of plants in spreading area between 0 to 25 cm2 were determined not yet attained sexual mature. The ratio of sex index in population was 1.26, average of the demographic increase of the flowering season for each year was only 35%. We suggested this species to CR B1ab(i)+(iii) in endangered groups of IUCN criteria based on the data that obtained from population studies.

ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to highlight the potential economic benefits of fisheries industrial waste silage by the dint of its ability to be recycled efficiently in animal feed. Fish silage was produced by acid hydrolysis. The fish silage was ripened and became half-liquid, at room temperature in 12 days. Its odour became less pungent and was deemed to have an acceptable malt smell. The silage cost was found to be 0.72 TL/kg. The results of this study established that, the use of silage instead of fish meal, reduces the cost of feed by 21%. Therefore fish waste products, previously considered as a refuse and causing environmental pollution, can be reintegrated into the economy.
Keywords: fish meal, fish silage, silage composition, sustainability
