Nur Mountains
Deciduous forests are concentrated in areas with higher rainfall (1,500-2,000 mm) facing the prevailing southwest winds, notably the Geyik Mountains in the Western Taurus and the Nur Mountains in the east. Deciduous broadleaf trees are predominant, including Oriental hornbeam ("Carpinus orientalis"), European hop-hornbeam ("Ostrya carpinifolia"), oaks ("Quercus cerris, Q. libani, Q. trojana", and "Q. petraea" ssp. "pinnatiloba"), and maples ("Acer hyrcanum, A. platanoides, A. campestre", and "A. monspessulanum").
