This study describes vegetative suructure and the grazing potential of a silvopastoral Mediterranean ecosystem on
Taurus Mountain where a transhunıance grazing system has been practiced for centuries. A specially designed
questionnaire was used to determine the structure of the transhumance families. Forage production was 2.9 t/ha in the
moderately grazed pasture but 1.0 t/ha in the heavily grazed site. Families coming in the area early in the spring stay
relatively shorter periods of time comparing to those moving in the early summer. The tendency of settlement aş for
cultivation and building summerhouses is likely be the most important cause, rather than grazing, for ftıtthering the
destruction of such an ecosystem in the near future. Therefore, local authorities, especially, the Municipality of the
County Camliyayla must take serious measures to prevent this trend.
