SynopsisThe Turkish forests are a complex of Mediterranean, European, Euxine and Irano-Turanian influences. The boundaries between these 4 bioclimatic-biogeographical zones have, especially in the E of the country, been little studied and their limits are difficult to establish. Phytosociological and biogeographical aspects of these forest zones are discussed. In the bioclimatic-Mediterranean region, the forest and pre-forest structures are related to QUERCETALIA ILICIS in the thermo- and meso-Mediterranean stages, and to QUERCETALIA PUBESCENTIS in the supra-Mediterranean stage, except in southern Anatolia where they belong to QUERCO-CEDRETALIA LIBANI. In the prepontic bioclimatic region where the Mediterranean influence is still perceptible, they belong to QUERCO-CARPINETALIA ORIENTALIS and in the Euxine bioclimatic region to RHODODENDRO-FAGETALIA ORIENTALI and to PINOPICEETALIA ORIENTALIS. Some forest formations in NW Anatolia, with a European mountain influence, are related to FAGETALIA SYLVATICAE and to VACCINIO PICEETALIA.

Migration in the Mediterranean region has increased greatly during the last years. Reports and studies reveal that violence and injuries among refugees and migrants is a common occurrence in the WHO Europe Region. Available literature indicates that sexual violence incidents take place: (a) during the migratory journey to the host country, (b) while in detention centers, (c) once migrants have reached their destination, and (d) during the period in which a woman is subject of trafficking. This manuscript explores how sexual violence against refugee/immigrant women is presented in the international literature; a narrative review of the literature was conducted on the phenomenon of migration in the Mediterranean area, and specifically on sexual violence of migrant women. In order to face the challenges faced by migrant women victims of sexual violence, the following policies are suggested by international literature: (a) offer emergency medical and health care to sexual violence survivors, which is usually relatively limited, (b) offer mental health care and psychological support for sexual violence when planning services to provide clinical care, and (c) work towards the aim of transforming norms and values in order to promote gender equality and support non-violent behaviours.
