Abstract
Today, it is known that there is a change in the world's climate system and that the living things that cause the deterioration of the natural balance are human beings. Human beings have always made changes in the environment they live in to meet their nutritional and shelter needs. These changes have affected the habitat in the region over time, causing both flora and fauna to change and have affected the level of biodiversity. In order to understand this change, pollen records from past periods are valuable archives of vegetation dynamics and provide important information about vegetation. In this study, pollen belonging to the ancient period was investigated from the wells drilled in Göbekli Tepe, which is described as the "zero point of history". The pollen analyzes obtained from the samples in the 1st well between 6 meters and 7-7.5 meters were approximately B.C. It covers the years 11126 and 13354. The pollen analyzes made at 6, 10, 12 meters in the samples in the 3rd well were B.C. It reflects the changes in vegetation and climate between 10634-12418. Although individuals belonging to Quercus, Salix, Juglans, Abies, Pinus and Juniperus species of forest vegetation were encountered in Ancient Göbekli Tepe, no individuals belonging to these tree species were encountered today. In this study, data were obtained supporting that the region was forest-steppe in the past, and the presence of forest-forming taxa Juglans, Abies, Pinus, and Juniperus was determined for the first time and the vegetation of the past period was made more evident.

Göbekli Tepe (Türkiye) bölgesinin iklim ve bitki örtüsü değişiminin polen verileri kullanılarak araştırılması

Özet
Günümüzde dünya iklim sisteminde bir değişim olduğu ve doğal dengenin bozulmasına neden olan canlıların insanoğlu olduğu bilinmektedir. İnsanlar, beslenme ve barınma ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak için yaşadıkları çevrede her zaman değişikler yapmışlardır. Bu değişiklikler zaman içerisinde bölgedeki habitatı etkileyerek hem floranın hem de faunanın değişmesine neden olmuş ve biyoçeşitlilik düzeyini etkilemiştir. Bu değişimin anlaşılması için geçmiş dönemlere ait polen kayıtları, bitki örtüsü dinamiklerinin değerli arşivleridir ve bitki örtüsünün hakkında önemli bilgiler sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada “tarihin sıfır noktası” olarak nitelendirilen Göbekli Tepe bölgesinde açılan kuyulardan eski döneme ait polenler araştırılmıştır. 1. kuyudaki örneklerinden 6 m ve 7-7.5 m’ler arasında elde edilen polen analizleri yaklaşık G.Ö. 11126 ve 13354 yıllarını kapsamaktadır. 3. kuyudaki örneklerinde 6, 10, 12 m’lerde yapılan polen analizleri G.Ö. 10634-12418 yılları arasındaki vejetasyon ve iklimdeki değişimleri yansıtmaktadır. Orman bitki örtüsüne ait ağaçlardan Quercus, Salix, Juglans, Abies, Pinus ve Juniperus türlerine ait bireylere Eski Dönem Göbekli Tepe’de rastlanmış olmasına rağmen günümüzde bu ağaç cinslerine ait hiç bir bireye rastlanmamıştır. Bu çalışmada bölgenin geçmiş dönemde orman-bozkır olduğunu destekler şekilde veriler elde edilmiş ve orman oluşturan Juglans, Abies, Pinus, ve Juniperus taksonlarının varlığı ilk defa belirlenerek geçmiş döneme ait bitki örtüsü daha da belirgin bir hale getirilmiştir.
