This research was conducted to determine floristic compositions and plant cover area in four different rangelands of Yozgat province located in central Turkey. The observations and measurements were carried out in Koccagiz village of Sarikaya district, Taspinar village of Sorgun district, Hacilar and Kordeve district of Yerkoy in May 2014.

Over the rangelends, the ratio of legumes, grasses and other families in floristic composition respectively varied between 6.4 and 22.0 per cent, 41.0 and 79.1 per cent, 14.5 and 49.1 per cent. In addition the ratio of decreaser, increaser and invader plant in floristic composition varied from 2.9 to 18.2 per cent, 41.0 to 65.4 per cent, 16.4 - 55.0 per cent, respectively in the investigated rangelands.
