  • Balkan Vegetation
    Plant Formations in the Balkan BioProvince Peter Martin Rhind Balkan Mixed Deciduous Forest These forests vary enormously but usually include a variety of oak species such as Quercus cerris, Q. frainetto, Q. robur and Q. sessiliflora, and other broadleaved species like Acer campestris, Carpinus betulus, Castanea sative, Juglans regia, Ostrya carpinifolia and Tilia tomentosa. Balkan Montane Forest Above about 1000 m beech Fagus sylvatica forests often predominate, but beyond 1500 m up to about 1800 m various conifer communities form the main forest types. However, in some cases conifer and beech communities merge and both reach the tree line. The most important associates of beech include Acer platanoides, Betula verrucosa, Corylus colurna, Picea abies, Pyrus aucuparia and Ulmus scabra, while the shrub layer often consists of Alnus viridis, Euonymous latifolius, Pinus montana and Ruscus hypoglossum. The ground layer is not usually well developed and many of the herbaceous species are of central European distribution including Arabis turrita, Asperula muscosa, Cardamine bulbifera, Limodorum abortivum, Orthilia seconda and Saxifraga rotundifolia. Of the conifer forests, Pinus nigra (black pine) often forms the dominant species particularly in Bulgaria, Serbia and in the Rhodope massif. Associated trees may include Taxus buccata and the endemic Abies bovisii-regis (Macedonian fir), while the shrub layer typically includes Daphne blagayana, Erica carnea and the endemic Bruckenthalia spiculifolia (Ericaceae). In some areas there is a conifer forest above the black pine zone from about 1300 m to 2400 m in which the endemic Pinus heldreichii (Bosnian pine) predominates. It is often rather open possibly as a consequence of repeated fires.

La jornada se completó con tres charlas relacionadas con esta temática. Se han contabilizado un total de 585 especies correspondientes a los grupos taxonómicos más importantes. El Bioblitz totalizó 390 invertebrados, 74 vertebrados y 118 p lantas vasculares. Caben destacar por su rareza las siguientes especies: la mariposa Pseudochazara williamsi y el chinche Parahypsitylus nevadensis. Para estas especies, y otras embématicas de la sierra, se ha elaborado una ficha en la que se destaca los aspectos que les hacen interesante. Finalmente comentar que este tipo de actividad tiene una gran utilidad para la comunidad científica y sirve de referencia para los gestores de los espacios naturales.

We classify and describe plant communities of rocky dry grasslands on carbonate bedrock in the southwestern regions of the Republic of Macedonia. We used our own field data and literature sources to compile a set of vegetation plots that have been stored in a vegetation database, data-mined and analyzed using numerical-analytical tools such as cluster analysis and ordination. Five distinct vegetation types, here interpreted as associations, were revealed and characterized using floristic composition, ecological conditions, life forms, chorological spectrum, and topological attributes.
