Thymus sp. ın Landscape Design Studies Use of the Plant

Abstract

In our world and in our country, the living conditions of plant species are getting difficult due to the increasing temperature, thirst, and the shift of seasons due to the effect of global warming. Environmental conditions slow down the development of plant species and varieties. Therefore, it has been necessary to be selective in plant species that can be used in landscape planning and design studies. For these reasons, the use of natural plant species of that region has been intensified in design studies. Since natural plant species are suitable for environmental conditions, they are more durable and require less maintenance. In addition, expanding the usage areas of natural plant species will lead to the sustainability of the species. Therefore, in our study, Thymus sp. plant was examined. It is not possible to use them in design studies without knowing the developmental characteristics of plant species. In our study, Thymus sp. types have been examined and suggestions have been developed regarding their usage areas.
