Ornamental geophytes (ornamental flower bulbs) are international and national heritage considering their contribution to people's life quality around the world. Iranian habitats support about 8000 species of flowering plants (belonging to 167 families and 100 genera) of which almost 1700 are endemic. Iran is a rich country in terms of distribution of bulbous plants. More than 200 species of bul...

Climate fluctuations in the Quaternary period significantly influenced evolution and distribution of plants, which caused to a serious genetic effects speciation activity [1]. Thus, Central Asia is distinguished by wide variety flora, including 9520 species, while 20% are endemics [2]. Great phenotypic diversity wild flora Uzbekistan, numbering about 4400 species vascular plants determined pecu...

Abstract Converting road verges and Public Open Space (POS) to floral-rich resources is an important strategy for supporting populations of urban pollinators. One the ways this can be achieved through adjusting mowing schedules, either with a “delayed start” after end winter, or reduction in frequency. In Mediterranean climate ecosystems mild, wet winters, plant growth continues winter season d...

A better understanding of the mechanisms influencing compositional changes in understory plant communities is crucial to protect temperate forests against global change stressors, including anthropogenic disturbances and invasion by exotic species. We assessed species composition after a 14-year period 20 rural forest stands located northern hardwood biome eastern Canada. identified that underw...

Premise In semiarid regions, decreasing rainfall presents a challenge to perennial seedlings that must reach sufficient size survive the first year’s seasonal drought. Attaining large storage organ has been hypothesized enhance drought resilience in geophytes, but building larger organs requires faster growth, paradoxically, some traits confer growth are highly sensitive We examined whether tub...

Species-rich semi-natural grasslands are highly endangered habitats in Central Europe and numerous restoration efforts have been made to compensate for the losses in the last decades. However, some plant species could become more easily established than others. The establishment success of 37 species was analyzed over 6 years at two study sites of a restoration project in Germany where hay tran...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The optimal period for seedling emergence depends on factors such as habitat preference, life cycle and geographical distribution. This research was performed to clarify the role of temperature in regulating processes leading to seedling emergence of the European continental Scilla bifolia and the Atlantic Narcissus pseudonarcissus and Hyacinthoides non-scripta. METHODS Ex...

The Bogdkhan mountain of Mongolia is strictly protected and possesses a unique ecosystem, because its location in the transitional zone Siberian taiga Asian steppe. Floristic composition biological spectrum Mountain were studied during July 2019 to September 2020. A total 522 vascular plants recorded belonging 249 genera 63 families. Asteraceae was found be most dominant family (13.22%; 33 69 t...
