Flora and fauna surveys, Ecological Assessment Reports (EDR) and biological monitoring.
Biological diversity is an indicator of a healthy environment and of the ability of ecosystems to sustain the life-support processes necessary for human wellbeing. Climate change, pollution and the excessive, unsustainable use of resources severely damaged biological diversity over the past century, and this has come to threaten human life itself.
The variation among living things that coexist in a particular balance, and among the habitats they occupy, falls within the scope of ecosystem diversity. This diversity originates in factors such as geographical conditions and differences in climate.
Türkiye has the richest biological diversity in Europe and the Middle East. Each of the country's seven geographical regions shows distinct climate, flora and fauna characteristics, and it holds three of the world's most important ecological regions.
Türkiye is home to 75% of the plant species found on the European continent, one third of which are endemic.
Alongside biological diversity and ecological assessment studies, Alka Laboratories identifies the flora and fauna species present within facilities and their areas of impact and prepares Ecological Assessment Reports (EDR).
Chlorophyll measurement and heavy metal analyses are carried out to determine the nutritional status and stress levels of plants, to detect disease or pest infestation, and to increase plant yield in agricultural applications. These measurements matter for monitoring plant health and for achieving optimisation in plant cultivation.
Alka Laboratories carries out biological monitoring studies according to all the standards and methods set and requested by national and international institutions.
Working with professional and academic specialists in the field, it carries out sampling, species identification and index calculations to determine quality according to the quality components of biological monitoring.
Alka Laboratories carries out work on determining plant health through chlorophyll content and heavy metal levels in commercially important plants and in biological diversity monitoring.
