Aims : The spring habitats of Central Europe are insular biotopes high ecological value. Although subject to severe exploitation pressures, they do not yet have a comprehensive protection status in Switzerland. Contributing this challenge is the controversy involved with their syntaxonomic classification. In context development regional conservation strategy and establishment national inventory...

Study on plant diversity is the base of woodland conservation. The Guancen Mountains are the northern end of Luliang mountain range in North China. Fifty-three quadrats of 10 m × 20 m of woodland communities were randomly established along an altitudinal gradient. Data for species composition and environmental variables were measured and recorded in each quadrat. To investigate the variation of...

Fabaceae (leguminous species) is the third-largest family of angiosperms. Floristical and vegetation analysis studies of wild leguminous species in Taif, Saudi Arabia were the prime aims of the current work. General survey of the studied area resulted to the selection of three different locations (Alshafa area (with its different habitats), Wadi seesed and Taif Hawia road (cutting many small wa...

the aim of this study was to investigate relationships between soil properties and plant species to determine the most effective factors separating vegetation communities in rineh rangeland. three stratifying variables were selected including slop, aspect and elevation. the study area was partitioned by combining these classes to generate homogenous units. 1m2 quadrates were located at sampling...

The distribution and species assembly of Japanese Protura collected from forest soils were examined using published databases and statistical analysis. We used records from 3110 sites where 71 taxa were found. The species richness of Protura ranged from one to 16 species, and TWINSPAN analysis of regional populations indicated that the northern and southern regions could be separated into disti...
