Keywords:
Rhododendron luteum, Rhododendron ponticum, N, P dynamics, Spesific Leaf Area (SLA), Leaf Mass /Leaf Area (LMA).Abstract
In this study, foliar and floral N and P dynamics, SLA ve LMA values of Rhododendron luteum and Rhododendron ponticum (Ericaceae) which are
commonly distrubed along an elevational gradient were investigated.These species are commonly disturbed in East Black Sea Region. Plant specimens were
collected from Ulubey (800m), Gölköy (1000m) and Gürgentepe (1200m) localities from Ordu province. Foliar and floral N and P contents were changed
to altitudes and species. Foliar N and P contents in R. luteum which is deciduous were lower from R. ponticum which is evergreen. Statistically significant
differences were found in foliar and floral N and P contents in terms of species, while no significant differences were found according to elevations. There
were significant differences between SLA and LMA according to altitudues, statistically
