the purpose of this study was to evaluate the species-environment relationships in arid and semi-arid rangelandsof nodushan, yazd. the plant species cover and the environmental variables were measured at 9 sites. soil sampleswere taken for measurement of 12 attributes in 0-10 cm and 10-80 cm layers. vegetation was classified using twowayindicator species analysis (twinspan). data was analyzed u...

the relationship between topography, soil factors, and distribution of ecological vegetation groups in the nodoushan arid rangelands of yazd province (iran) was investigated. the present species were recorded in each vegetation group using a randomized-systematic sampling method. plant cover and density were estimated quantitatively using the transect and quadrate methods, and the two-way indic...

Abstract Key message A vegetation analysis revealed the extent of recolonization by native a 25-year-old Cupressus spp. plantation in northern Iran. young indigenous Quercus-Carpinus community replaced conifers low-slope areas with deeper, heavier, and more fertile soils. Context Reforestation degraded or clear-cut-harvested lands can modify site conditions, facilitating succession reestablishi...

Aims : This study identified, classified and mapped the different plant communities found on Telperion Nature Reserve. Study area Reserve, Mpumulanga, South Africa. Methods Using a 1:10,000 aerial photograph, was delineated into homogenous physiognomic-physiographic units. 294 sample plots (100 m 2 ) were placed in randomly stratified manner within identified Plant species present recorded allo...

Abstract This paper presents the results of phytosociological research on scree vegetation Pamir and south-western Tian Shan. We collected 222 relevés during field studies conducted in 2015–2019, applying Braun-Blanquet approach. identified 21 plant communities mobile stabilized screes colluvial cones, aprons fans, inhabiting mainly montane alpine belts several ranges (e.g. Peter First, Alichur...

Research Highlights: Differentiation of Scots pine forests the class Vaccinio-Piceetea in Poland has been subject numerous studies, including revisions. Despite that, area southwestern was hitherto practically unexplored this respect. Background and Objectives: The aim work therefore (i) to present diversity Sudetes their foreland; (ii) compare ecology studied communities. Materials Methods: We...
