Although there are numerous studies on the floristic composition of Andean and Caribbean grasslands, limited information from a phytosociological point view. This work therefore aims to highlight differences in this important vegetation type these two biodiversity hotspots gain better understanding their vegetational richness. The grasslands (Ecuador) island Hispaniola is also studied. reason f...

Abstract Purpose Herbaceous plants are important components of temperate forest structure and its functioning, however, their impacts on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) remain largely unexplored. We studied the influence herbaceous plant species AMF abundance, morphospecies richness, community composition in soil. Methods tested identity an outdoor mesocosm experiment, using two soils, diffe...

Bu çalışma 2008-2009 yılları arasında Kızılcasu Orman Planlama Birimi’nin florasını tespit etmek amacı ile yapılmıştır. Çalışma alanı Kastamonu ili A4 karesinde ve Avrupa-Sibirya floristik bölgesi içerisinde yer almaktadır. sonucunda 64 familyaya ait 233 vasküler bitki taksonu edilmiştir. Tespit edilen taksonlarından 3’ü Pteridophyta bölümüne, 230’u ise Magnoliophyta bölümüne aittir. 5 (%2,1)’i...

This account presents information on all aspects of the biology Knautia arvensis (L.) Coult. (Field Scabious) that are relevant to understanding its ecological characteristics and behaviour. The main topics presented within standard framework Biological Flora Britain Ireland: distribution, habitat, communities, responses biotic factors, environment, structure physiology, phenology, floral seed ...

The aims of this study were to evaluate the cambial activity and phenology three species with different life forms (Alchemilla procumbens, Acaena elongata Ribes ciliatum) along an altitudinal gradient establish which environmental variables (light, soil humidity temperature) had greatest influence on phenological stages. Over two years, data phenology, growth cambium gathered every four weeks i...

Current restoration protocols for roadside cut slopes in South Korea involve hydroseeding with exotic species to achieve early greening and soil stabilization. However, can negatively affect adjacent native ecosystems. This study investigated the functional traits of colonizers slope surrounding environments inform methods that generate similar communities as those Slope vegetation (species den...

Saldaran protected region with about 14,000 hectares is located at longitude 50º34ʹE and latitude 32º4ʹN at 115 km of southwest of Shahr-e Kord City. This area is one of the important genetic resources in the Zagros Mountains. In the present study, floristic elements, life forms, chorological analysis, protected status, pasture and poisonous plants were investigated. All specimens were collecte...

conservation and restoration of biodiversity is very important for degraded rangeland ecosystems. it is necessary to assess the potential of soil seed bank as a major source of species. in this study, the soil seed bank size and composition were compared between exclosure and grazed areas. this was done in chahar-bagh rangelands in golestan province. soil was sampled in exclosure and grazing fr...

this research was conducted to compare plant functional types (pft) and traits in an old-field (abandoned for 28 years) and a control site, in the baharkish rangelands, quchan, iran. in the both sites, 40 randomized quadrates were established. floristic list, frequency, canopy cover and 20 vegetative, phenological and morphological plant traits were measured for all plant species, within each q...
