  • In the Caucasus Region
    Multivariate analysis, systematics, and distribution of Galium sect. Orientigalium Ehrend. (Rubiaceae) in the Caucasus region IVAN SCHANZER & FRIEDRICH EHRENDORFER ABSTRACT SCHANZER, I. & F. EHRENDORFER (2002). Multivariate analysis, systematics, and distribu - tion of Galium sect. Orientigalium Ehrend. (Rubiaceae) in the Caucasus region. Candollea 57: 329-357. In English, English abstract. Galium sect. Orientigalium Ehrend. is a species rich and polymorphic clade centred in the western Irano-Oriental region, from where it extends to the Iberian Peninsula in the W, the Leba - non in the S, and the Caucasus region in the N. Preliminary chromosome counts and correlated pollen diameter measurements show that the clade includes several polyploid complexes. One of them, particularly diverse in the Caucasus, is the G. subvelutinum alliance. On the basis of an extensive evaluation of morphological differential characters, eighteen populations of this alliance were studied in the field, together with additional herbarium material resulting in a total of four hundred and three individuals scored for twenty differential characters and eventually arranged in twenty-six OTUs. This matrix was subjected to cluster analysis, multidimensional scaling, and dis - criminant analyses. The resulting tree reveals five major OTU clusters. Their structure, affinities, discontinuities and clinal connections are illustrated by 2-dimensional scatter plots and maps. As a consequence, it is possible to separate two informal species groups within the Caucasian mem - bers of the G. subvelutinum alliance: the ± suffruticose and more xerophilous G. mite group and the ± herbaceous and rather mesophilous G. hyrcanicum group. Both apparently contain diploid and polyploid members and are occasionally linked by hybridization. Within the G.

    Identification and implementation of adaptation response to Climate Change impact for Conservation and Sustainable use of agro-biodiversity in arid and semi- arid ecosystems of South Caucasus Ecosystem Assessment Report Erevan, 2012 Executive Summary Armenia is a mountainous country, which is distinguished with vulnerable ecosystems, dry climate, with active external and desertification processes and frequency of natural disasters. Country’s total area is 29.743 sq/km. 76.5% of total area is situated on the altitudes of 1000-2500m above sea level. There are seven types of landscapes in Armenia, with diversity of their plant symbiosis and species. All Caucasus main flora formations (except humid subtropical vegetation) and 50% of the Caucasus high quality flower plant species, including species endowed with many nutrient, fodder, herbal, paint and other characteristics are represented here. “Identification and implementation of adaptation response to Climate Change impact for Conservation and Sustainable use of agro biodiversity in arid and semi-arid ecosystems of South Caucasus” project is aimed to identify the most vulnerable ecosystems in RA, in light of climate change, assess their current conditions, vulnerability level of surrounding communities and the extend of impact on ecosystems by community members related to it. During the project, an initial assessment has been conducted in arid and semi arid ecosystems of Armenia to reveal the most vulnerable areas to climate change, major threats have been identified, main environmental issues: major challenges and problems of arid and semi arid ecosystems and nearly located local communities have been analyzed and assessed. Ararat and Vets Door regions are recognized as the most vulnerable areas towards climate change, where vulnerable ecosystems are dominant.
