village and Kollubaba Hill (1610-1630 m),
Kollubaba Hill (1850-1905 m) and Koh
Plateau in the borders of Alatosun (1635-
1645 m). It spreads on volcanic bedrock. It has
a soil structure with poor and medium
organic matter (2.7-3.7%). e saturation is
60-62%. Texture classes of the soil are clayloamy
and loamy.
e area observation indicates that spread
area of the association was very wide in the
past years. e undercover vegetation has
completely disappeared in Kızılkuyu Hill,
Bedir Hill, Tırbelek Hill, Mirgimir Hill, Mandel
Hill, Bahşo Hill, Hıdırbeg Hill, Laz Hill
and in the areas among these hills because of
overgrazing and the vegetation has an appearance
that consists of only Astragalus gummifer
Labill.

Similar association was identified by many
researchers and the similarity ratio with this
association is as fallow: ymo kotschyani-
Astragaletum gummiferi identified by Duman
(1995) in Engizek Mountain (11.76%), Scorzonero-Astragaletum
gummiferii identified by
Ocakverdi (1987) in Madenli region in Seydişehir
(9.46%), Astragalus gummifer identified
by Yurdakulol (1981) in Taurus Mountains
(Anti-Taurus) (5.51%), ymo-Astragaletum
gummiferi identified by Behçet (1999) in Baskil
in Elazığ (9.36%) and Prango pabulariae-Astragaletum
gummiferi identified by Hamzaoğlu
(2006) in about Çakırbağ village in Bayburt
(8.5%).
e association was connected to Taneceto
orientali-Astragalion gummiferi all. nov.,
alliance included in Astragalo microcephali-
Brometea tomentelli Quézel 1973 class.
