Located in the western point of Turkey, forests and shrublands are important for the island of G�kceada. Almost all of the pasture surfaces are covered mainly with Sarcopoterium spinosum L., a common weed which has intensive thorns to makes it harder to be consumed even for the local sheeps and goats of G�kceada, being main cause of inefficiency for the island pastures.
T�rkiyenin en bat� ucunda yer alan G�k�eadada bodur �al�l� mera ve ormanlar �nemli bir yere sahiptir. Meralar�n tamam�na yak�n� aptesbozan �al�s� ile kapl�d�r. Bu �al� yo�un dikenlere sahip oldu�undan, G�k�eadaya �zg� koyun ve ke�iler bile zor otlamaktad�r. Bu y�zden meralar verimli bir �ekilde de�erlendirilememektedir.
