    The sumac plant (Rhus coriaria L.) is known for its significant biological effects such as antioxidant, antidiabetic, antibacterial, and antifungal properties, enriched with phenolic compounds, tannins, organicacids, vitamins, and minerals. Considered the genetic center in Turkey, sumac is widely utilized in afforestation projects due to it sability to adapt to various climate and soil conditions. This plant plays a crucial role in erosion control, rehabilitation of mining areas, and protective afforestation efforts. Additionally, sumac is economically significant due to its rapid growth characteristic and low maintenance requirements. It is extensively used in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and dye industries. Studies indicate that the sumac plant is susceptible to various diseases and pests but can be protected through appropriate cultural practices and chemical control methods. In conclusion, the sumac plant is a valuable species that can be widely used in nature conservation and afforestation activities.
