dc.description.abstractIn this study, the habitat types and associated plant communities of the Arg & ouml;z & uuml; Valley were identified and classified in accordance with the European Nature Information System (EUNIS). A total of 13 plant communities were distinguished within the study area, representing six major vegetation types: forest, shrubland, streamside vegetation, high mountain steppe, moist meadow, and rocky vegetation. These communities were further categorized into 11 distinct habitat types under the E and G habitat classes of the EUNIS classification system. The findings provide a foundational basis for biodiversity conservation initiatives and the formulation of effective habitat management strategies. Nevertheless, ongoing transhumance and grazing activities constitute significant threats to the ecological integrity of these habitats. In particular, areas with high levels of endemism-such as Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) forests, alpine communities, and moist meadows- require urgent conservation prioritization to ensure their long-term sustainability.
