Abstract
- Lake Abant became a nature park on October 21, 1988. The Park is connected to Mudurnu (Bolu) district and is spread over an area including high mountains up to 1800 meters. Lake Abant, located at 1350 m a.s.l, is one of the most critical areas in the center of the park. With a maximum depth of about 18 meters, the Lake is a landslide lake, and its area is about 125 ha. Due to the changing climatic conditions, a more humid and rainier environment is dominant in the region. The existence of many species (e.g., fungi, insects) is not known yet due to the limited number of studies on the biodiversity in the park, which is rich in fauna and flora. However, the potential biological richness of the park is estimated to be much greater than the available information. This article deals with Lake Abant from historical, geographical, ecological, and many other aspects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
