  • Characteristics of the Cliff Plant Communities of the Tuapkhat Massif
    CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CLIFF PLANT COMMUNITIES OF THE TUAPKHAT MASSIF Sergey Krylenko, SC “Erudit”, Russia [email protected] Abstract. Preservation of biological diversity is necessary for sustainable development and rational use of coastal resources. In this paper structure of the cliff plant communities of the massif Tuapkhat (the Black Sea coast, Russia) are characterized. Flora of this coastal zone combines features of Mediterranean and middle European Russia types. Herbaceous and shrub life-forms and xeromorphous and petrophilous plant associations dominate at the studied area. The main factor determining the species composition of the examined communities is substrate character. Key words: cliff, plant communities, Black sea coast, ecotop. I. INTRODUCTION Preservation of biological diversity is one of the most important factors of a sustainable development and rational use of natural resources. A variety of a plant cover structure is characteristic of mountainous areas with high differentiation of habitats [1]. For preservation of a biodiversity of coastal zone landscapes of mountainous areas it is necessary to know structure of the plant communities growing in these places. In this paper features of structure of the coastal zone plant communities of the massif Tuapkhat (the Black Sea coast of Krasnodar region, Russia) are characterized. The main part of the Tuapkhat massif coast is an abrasion cliff up to 100 m high and is crossed by deeply valleys. The constituting rocks are represented by Cretaceous flysch composed of alternating marlstones, limestones and mudstones [2]. Colluvial deposits on the cliff consist of large-fragmental material with trace impurity of gravel and loam [3]. The soil is on the cliff underdeveloped, gravelly, with a small amount of humus.

  • Balkan Butterflies
    Balkan Butterflies Holiday Report 21 -28 June 2014 Led by Julian Dowding & Sotiris Alexiou Greenwings Wildlife Holidays Tel: 01473 436096 Web: www.greenwings.co Email: [email protected] ©Greenwings 2014 Introduction Our holiday was based in the area of Mount Chelmos of the Aroanian Mountain Range in the Peloponnese, southern Greece. The limestone soils and strata of Chelmos have been well weathered over millions of years creating steep calcareous cliffs and screes, the impressive gorges, and the mythical waters of the Styx immortalized in Greek mythology as the boundary between the Earth and Hades. This landscape is characterized by a wilderness of mainly pine and fir forested slopes, grass plateaux and river valleys, all home to a large number of butterflies, moths and other flora and fauna. The area is renowned for many endemic and iconic species, such as Chelmos Blue, Odd-spot Blue and Pontic Blue. During the week, we stayed in Kalavryta, a little town situated in the foothills of Chelmos, ideally suited to exploring the wider area. Greenwings welcomed 7 guests on this holiday: Malcolm, John A, Robert, Tony, John W, Jeremy and Sheila, for an enjoyable week spent observing butterflies in the magical landscape of this part of Greece. The weather during the week was very warm and perfect for butterflies, with temperatures ranging from the mid 20’s at higher altitudes up to the mid 30’s at lower altitudes. This was something we were rather thankful for because we’d been told that spring and summer had been late coming to Chelmos, with an above average amount of inclement weather and the first truly settled period only appearing during the week of our stay.

  • Allium L. Species Doğu Anadoluda
    Manas Journal of Agriculture and Life Science MJAL 5 (1) (2015) 80–86 The Ethnobotanical Usage of Some East Anatolian (Turkey) Allium L. Species Mehmet FIRAT Department of Biology, Faculty of Education, Yüzüncü Yıl University, TR-65080 Van, Turkey, Abstract The materials of this study comprise the plants collected from 1999-2014, from the cities: Ağrı, Bitlis, Hakkâri, Muş, Tunceli and Van in B10, B9, B8, B7, C10, C9 squares according to grid square system in Flora of Turkey. Most commonly used Allium species in the region are: Allium akaka S. G. Gmel. Ex Schult. & Schult. f., Allium atroviolaceum Boiss., Allium aucheri Boiss., Allium calocephalum Wendelbo, Allium kharputense Freyn & Sint., Allium noeanum Reut. ex Regel, Allium pseudoampeloprasum Miscz. ex Grossh., Allium rhetoreanum Nab., Allium schoenoprasum L., Allium shatakiense Rech. f., Allium shirnakiense L.Behçet & Rüstemoğlu, Allium szovitsii Regel, Allium tuncelianum (Kolman) Özhatay, B. Mathew & Şiraneci, Allium vineale L.. Local women collect these species from natural habitats for their own needs and to sell at certain public markets to make contribution to the family budget. Green leaves from fresh plants and the bulbs after the completion of the maturity stage are collected and consumed. Beside daily edible use, fresh leaves of Allium species are the main participant of the famous “herby cheese”. Dried leaves are cooked in various meals in winter time. A. tuncelianum is planted in Tunceli and marketed. A. rhetoreanum is planted in gardens in Hakkâri, its fresh leaves are daily consumed as vegetable. In this study 14 species of the genus Allium was given with images in their natural habitats, also images of the collection, drying and marketing processes were given.

We analysed a large data set of phytosociological relevés of dry grasslands (Festu- co-Brometea and Festucetea vaginatae classes) in Serbia to produce the first overview of its classifica- tion, distribution, environmental conditions and biodiversity patterns. Phytocoenological relevés from relevant literature sources and our own investigations were stored in the Vegetation Database of Serbia (EU-RS-002) and the Balkan Dry Grassland Database (EU-00-013). After heterogeneity-constrained random resampling, the final dataset contained 1,897 relevés and 1,323 species. Species composition was classified hierarchically by the beta flexible method. We used species ecological indicator values for the estimation of the ecological conditions. Floristic and vegetation diversity and the conservation relevance of various dry grassland types, based on an assessment of endemic and protected species, were analysed.

  • A New Monocotyledonous Bulbous Weed Species Was Detected in Hungary: (Allium Giganteum Regel)
    A new monocotyledonous bulbous weed species was detected in Hungary: (Allium giganteum Regel) by Bence Balogh1 in collaboration with: in collaboration with: Bálint Benczés2, Gábor Bese2, Richárd Bisztray3, Emese Bodor4, András Fejes4, Máté Károlyi5, Roland Kisjuhász6, László Menyhárt7, Roland Nagy2, Gergő Somody2, Zselyke Széman8, Attila Török9, Gábor Wágner2 and Roland Szabó6. 1 Bayer CS Hungary Kft./Budapest 2 CPR Európa Kft./Szombathely 3 Farmer-Agro Kft./Békéscsaba 4 Biotek Agriculture Kft./Csömör 5 Eurofins Agroscience Services Kft./Székesfehérvár 6 Sumi Agro Hungary Kft./Budapest 7 Syngenta Magyarország Kft./Budapest 8 SGS Hungária Kft./Budapest 9 Kömlői Róna Kft./Kömlő Summary The indicated and identified plant 'Allium giganteum Regel' known by synonym as 'Allium procerum Trautv. ex Regel' and by common name 'Giant Onion', or 'Ornamental Onion' - is native in Central and Southwestern Asia (Pamir-Alay; Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan and Hindu Kush; Afghanistan, Pakistan and the west part of China), but as an ornamental garden plant, it is cultivated in many countries all over the world. The biggest Allium giganteum bulb producer is the Netherlands, but there are smaller producers in Israel, France, Japan and Latvia. (Rabinowitch and Currah, 2002; Kamenetsky and Rabinowitch 2006). The situation was different before the middle of the 19th century when Eduard Regel and other botanists went to Central Asia and discovered many new species among which was Allium giganteum Regel. (Dadd, 1987). This new weed species belongs to the Amaryllidaceae family and Allium genus. (Li, Zhou, Yu, Zhang and Wei, 2010). This plant was used by native people as spice in cheese production and as an herb.
