Abstract

This research was carried out to determine the ethnobotanical studies of edible wild plants in some parts of Mardin province, a historical city of Upper Mesopotamia, in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey, between the years 2018-2020. The wild plants consumed as food by the local people living in the villages of Mardin province and their usage patterns were determined. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with 80 people and ethnobotanical information forms were prepared. The local and scientific names of the identified plants were included and their usage purposes were determined. As a result of the study, it was determined that 131 plant species were used as edible in folk tradition.
