A correlation is made between habitats from different classifications, Mountains but with the same features, mentioning EUNIS codes, Emerald, Natura 2000, Palaearctic Habitats and the European forest types. This paper presents information on the spread of two types of habitats containing Rhododendronfrom Europe, the environmental conditions in which they live and the accompanying species involved, more or less, in the composition of habitats. It describes the types of vegetation in the Alps (Austria) and the Carpathian Mountains (Romania). Vegetation was observed following the research in the field.

  • Characterizing the Genetic Variation in Seven Species of Deciduous Native Azaleas and Identifying the Mechanism of Azalea Lacebug Resistance in Deciduous Azalea
    CHARACTERIZING THE GENETIC VARIATION IN SEVEN SPECIES OF DECIDUOUS NATIVE AZALEAS AND IDENTIFYING THE MECHANISM OF AZALEA LACEBUG RESISTANCE IN DECIDUOUS AZALEA by MATTHEW RANDOLPH CHAPPELL (Under the direction of Dr. Carol Robacker) ABSTRACT Despite the ecologic and economic importance of native deciduous azaleas (Rhododendron spp. section Pentanthera), our understanding of interspecific variation of North American deciduous azalea species is limited. Furthermore, little is known concerning intraspecific or interpopulation genetic variation. The present study addresses questions of genetic diversity through the use of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis. Twenty-five populations of seven species of native azalea were analyzed using three primer pairs that amplified a total of 417 bands. Based on analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) and estimates of Nei’s coefficients of gene diversity (HS, HT, and GST), the majority of variation in deciduous azalea occurs within populations. Both among species and among population variation was low, likely the effect of common ancestry as well as frequent introgression among members (and populations) of section Pentanthera. The majority of populations were grouped into species based on Nei’s unbiased genetic distances viewed as a UPGMA phenogram. The significance of these results is discussed in relation to breeding in section Pentanthera. In addition to the lack of information concerning genetic variation in North American native azaleas, little is known concerning the insect-plant interaction between the primary azalea pest in the United States, azalea lace bug (ALB) (Stephanitis pyrioides Scott), and deciduous azalea. Azaleas are largely resistant to predation by insects, with the exception of ALB. Within deciduous azalea (Rhododendron section Pentanthera) varying levels of resistance to ALB is observed with a continuous distribution from susceptible to highly resistant.

    4. Tourist attractions in Central European. Countries Předmět: The Tourist Attractions in the Czech Republic and in the World Geography of Switzerland The beautiful, mountainous country of Switzerland is landlocked in south-central Europe, and remains one of the most popular travel destinations on the planet. Mountains cover 60% of Switzerland's land area, with ranges of the Alps in the south and the Jura Mountains to the north. Switzerland's highest point is Dufourspitze (Monte Rosa), in the Pennine Alps, which rises to (4,634 m). Also located within the Pennine Alps is the infamous Matterhorn whose summit is (4,478 m) high. Moving north, the Rhine River makes up much of Switzerland's border with Germany, as well as part of Lake Constance. Switzerland's two largest lakes are Lake Geneva (shared with France) and Lake Neuchatel - which is the largest lake entirely within the country's borders. The main tourist attractions in Switzerland The Matterhorn, Switzerland's iconic pointed peak is one of the highest mountains in the Alps. On the border with Italy, this legendary peak rises to 4,478 meters, and its four steep faces lie in the direction of the compass points. The first summiting in 1865 ended tragically when four climbers fell to their death during the descent. Today, thousands of experienced climbers come here each summer. One of the most popular experiences in the beautiful Bernese Oberland is the train journey to Jungfraujoch, the "Top of Europe," with an observation terrace and scientific observatory perched at 3,454 meters. The longest glacier in Europe, the Great Aletsch Glacier begins at Jungfraujoch, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

KRAFTWERKSGRUPPE PInzgAU PINZGAU IST SALZBURGS STROMPIONIER Wo einst Salzburgs erster Strom erzeugt wurde, spielt er auch heute für die Wirtschaft der Region eine wesentliche Rolle. Bereits vor 1881 erzeugte Ignaz Rojacher in seinem Rauriser Goldbergwerk mit einem einfachen Wasserrad Lichtstrom „im continuirlichen Betriebe“. Bis zur Jahrhundert- wende errichteten Hoteliers und das Aluminiumwerk in Lend eigene Anlagen. Ortseigene Wasserkraftwerke gab es 1902 in Niedernsill und 1905 in Saalfelden. Erstes Großkraftwerk in Fusch Nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg entstand das Fuscher Bärenwerk, als erstes landeseigenes Großkraftwerk. Es machte den Raum um Zell am See mit einem Schlag zu einem der am besten mit Elektrizität versorgten Gebiete Österreichs. Allerdings hatte Strom als Luxusgut mit erheblichen Absatzproblemen zu kämpfen. Motor für die Wirtschaft Mit dem Wirtschaftsaufschwung nach dem 2. Weltkrieg stieg auch der Strombedarf kontinuierlich an. Neben der lokalen Industrie profitiert im Pinzgau vor allem auch der Tourismus von der sicheren und ökologischen Stromerzeugung durch Wasserkraft.
