Pētījumus veic Latvijas Universitātes Ģeogrāfijas un Zemes zinātņu fakultātes Bioģeogrāfijas laboratorijā, Latvijas Universitātes Bioloģijas fakultātē, Teiču valsts rezervātā, Latvijas valsts Mežzinātnes institūtā “Silava” u.c. Šajos gados plašāk pētītās augu sabiedrību grupas ir ezeru un to piekrastes augāja sabiedrības Potamogetonetea un Phragmito-Magnocaricetea (L.Eņģele, L.Salmiņa, S.Jermacāne), oligotrofo sūnekļu Oxycocco-Sphagnetea (B.Bambe, M.Pakalne) un eitrofo purvu Scheuchzerio-Caricetum nigrae (M.Pakalne) augu sabiedrības, jūrmalas sāļo augteņu Ammophiletea un smiltāju Koelerio-Corynephoretea augājs (B.Laime, D.Ofkante), mezofītie zālāji Molinio-Arrhenatheretea (S.Jermacāne), skujkoku Vaccinio-Piceetea, Pulsatillo-Pinetea (N.Priedītis, V.Kreile, B.Bambe, M.Laiviņš) un lapu koku Querco-Fagetea meži (N.Priedītis, M.Laiviņš). Par šo Latvijā vairāk pētīto klašu augāju publicēti pāri par 3500 augu sabiedrību aprakstu. Floristiski-ekoloģiskā virziena popularitāte Latvijā skaidrojama ar aktīvu starptautisku kontaktu veidošanos, kā arī ar šīs sistēmas noteiktajiem un skaidrajiem uzbūves principiem, kas paver ļoti plašas augāja struktūras un dinamikas salīdzinošas analīzes iespējas. Floristiski-ekoloģiskajā virzienā sintezēti augu sistemātikas, augu ekoloģijas un augu ģeogrāfijas principi un nostādnes. Augu sabiedrību sistematizācija un klasifikācija pamatojas uz pilnīgiem augu sugu sastāva aprakstiem; tās identificē rakstursugu kopas - sugas, kam ir relatīvi šaura ekoloģiskā amplitūda un kas atspoguļo augu sabiedrību ekoloģisko nišu. Jebkura ranga sintaksons ir saistīts ar noteiktiem reģioniem un tā areālu var raksturot ar trīs ģeogrāfiskām dimensijām – zonalitāti, sektorialitāti un vietas augstumu. Augu sabiedrību izpēte, datu analīze un apkopošana turpinās. Šajā Latvijas Veģetācijas laidienā apkopoti augu sabiedrību pētījumi dažādās Latvijas vietās (skat. attēlu). Pirmo reizi ir publicēti materiāli par Latvijas mieturaļģu sabiedrībām (Charetea fragilis), avoksnāju (Montio-Cardaminetea) sabiedrībām un kalcifīlu skeletainu augteņu pioniersabiedrību (Alysso-Sedion albi) augāju.

Barona iela 4, Rīga, LV- 1712 Darbā atspoguļoti 1997. un 1999. gada Charophyta veģetācijas pētījumi (Brauna-Blankē metode, 143 apraksti) Engures ezerā. Datu analīzei lietotas datorprogrammas TWINSPAN un DECORANA. Engures ezerā konstatētas asociācijas: Charetum asperae A. Melzer 1977, Charetum contrariae Corillon 1957, Magnocharetum hispidae Corillon 1957, Charetum tomentosae Corillon 1957 un Charetum aculeolatum Corillon 1957. Atslēgas vārdi: Charophyta, Charetea fragilis, Engures ezers IEVADS Līdz šim Latvijā saldūdens mieturaļģu (Charophyta) veģetācija nav pētīta. Šis ir pirmais mēģinājums aprakstīt un klasificēt Latvijā sastopamās mieturaļģu augu sabiedrības. Engures ezers ir lielākais (41.3 km2) piejūras ezers Latvijā. Tas ir sekls stipri aizaudzis lagūnas tipa ezers lēzenos krastos. Līdz šim Engures ezerā ir veikti epizodiski mieturaļģu floras pētījumi (Transehe, 1937; Спурис, 1960; Blindow, Hargeby, 1995), kas dod ieskatu par to izplatību ezerā. Mūsu pētījumu mērķis ir aprakstīt Engures ezera mieturaļģu augu sabiedrības (to sastāvu, izplatību, dinamikas tendences) un noteikt šo sabiedrību sintaksonomisko piederību. MATERIĀLS UN METODE Mieturaļģu veģetācijas pētījumi Engures ezerā veikti 1997. un 1999. gada jūlijā un augustā (skat. 6.lpp. - 1.). Augu sabiedrības pēc Brauna- Blankē metodes (Dierschke 1994; Pakalne, Znotiņa, 1992) aprakstītas 143 subjektīvi izvietotos laukumiņos (1m2), aptverot ezera vidusdaļu (ieskaitot Dzedru līci) (1.att.). Datu apstrādei lietotas datorprogrammas TWINSPAN un DECORANA (Hill, 1979; Kent, Coker, 1994). Augu sabiedrības klasificētas pēc tradicionālās Eiropā lietotās veģetācijas klasifikācijas sistēmas (Oberdorfer, 1977; Matuszkiewicz, 1981; Doll, 1989; Schratt, 1993; Sinkevičiene, 1994). 8 E. Zviedre 1.att. Pētījumu vietas Engures ezerā Fig.1. The studied sites in Lake Engures REZULTĀTI Engures ezerā vairumu iegrimušo ūdensaugu sabiedrību veido haru (Chara) ģints mieturaļģes. Mieturaļģes aug galvenokārt tādās vietās, kur nav virsūdens augāja. Litorālo helofītu audžu tuvumā tās dažreiz sastop vienīgi šaurās (parasti līdz 1m platās) pārejas joslās. Haru floristiski diezgan nabadzīgās sabiedrības veido lielas audzes dažādās ezera vietās. Nereti tajās ir vairāki stāvi - kāda no sugām blīvi klāj grunti, bet citas aug tuvāk ūdens virsai. Engures ezerā konstatētas piecas Chara ģints asociācijas (1., 2. tab.), to sintaksonomija ir šāda: Klase: Charetea fragilis Fukarek ex Krausch 1964 Rinda: Charetalia hispidae Sauer ex Krausch 1964 Savienība: Charion fragilis Krausch 1964 Asociācija : Charetum tomentosae Corillon 1957 Latvijas Veģetācija, 2001, 4: 7-15 9 Asociācija: Charetum aculeolatum Corillon 1957 Asociācija: Charetum asperae A. Melzer 1977 Asociācija: Magnocharetum hispidae Corillon 1957 Asociācija: Charetum contrariae Corillon 1957 Charetum tomentosae Corillon 1957 sabiedrības sastopamas dūņainā substrātā dažāda dziļuma (0.2-2 m) ūdenī un ir visizplatītākās. Šīs sabiedrības ir sugām bagātākās (15 sugas) - piecas Chara sugas, kā arī deviņas augstāko augu sugas, to skaitā arī Latvijā reta un īpaši aizsargājama suga Najas marina (Anon., 2000). Taču ap 20% visu sabiedrību ir Ch. tomentosa viensugas audzes. Seklākajās vietās jūlijā un augustā Ch. tomentosa augot paceļas virs ūdens, bet dziļākajās vietās tā visu laiku paliek pilnīgi iegrimusi. 1. tabula Klases Charetea fragilis sabiedrību sinoptiskā tabula Synoptic table of Charetea fragilis communities Asociācijas (Associations): 1 – Charetum tomentosae, 2 – Charetum aculeolatum, 3 – Charetum asperae, 4 – Magnocharetum hispidae, 5 – Charetum contrariae Asociācija 1 2 3 4 5 Association Aprakstu skaits 61 44 20 12 6 Number of relevés Sugu skaits 15 5 3 5 3 Number of species Charetea fragilis rakstursugas Chara fragilis I2 .

  • Dicranum Scoparium Broom Fork-Moss Key 129, 135, 139
    Dicranales Dicranum scoparium Broom Fork-moss Key 129, 135, 139 5 mm 5 mm 1 cm Identification A medium- to large-sized plant (up to 10 cm), growing in yellow-green to dark green cushions or large patches. The leaves are 4–7.5 mm long, narrowly spearhead-shaped and taper to a long fine tip composed largely of the strong nerve. They are often somewhat curved, but can also be straight and are hardly altered when dry. The leaf margins are usually strongly toothed near the tip. The back of the nerve has raised lines of cells which are just visible with a hand lens. These are also toothed, making the tip of the leaf appear toothed all round. D. scoparium occasionally produces deciduous shoots with smaller leaves at the tip of the stems. The curved, cylindrical capsule is common in the north and west of Britain, and is borne on a long seta that is yellow above and reddish below. Similar species D. scoparium is quite variable and confusion is most likely with D. majus (p. 379) and D. fuscescens (p. 382). D. majus is a larger plant with longer, regular, strongly curved leaves showing little variation; if in doubt, your plant is almost certainly D. scoparium. D. fuscescens is similar in size to D. scoparium, but has a finer leaf tip with smaller teeth on the margins and lacks raised lines of cells on the back of the leaves. The leaves in D. fuscescens are crisped when dry, and in this state mixed stands of D. scoparium and D.

  • The Free Radical Scavenging Activities of Biochemical Compounds of Dicranum Scoparium and Porella Platyphylla
    Aydın S. 2020. Anatolian Bryol……………………………………………………………..……………19 Anatolian Bryology http://dergipark.org.tr/tr/pub/anatolianbryology Anadolu Briyoloji Dergisi Research Article DOI: 10.26672/anatolianbryology.701466 e-ISSN:2458-8474 Online The free radical scavenging activities of biochemical compounds of Dicranum scoparium and Porella platyphylla Sevinç AYDIN1* 1Çemişgezek Vocational School, Munzur University, Tunceli, TURKEY Received: 10.03.2020 Revised: 28.03.2020 Accepted: 17.04.2020 Abstract The bryophytes studies carried out in our country are mainly for bryofloristic purposes and the studies on biochemical contents are very limited. Dicranum scoparium and Porella platyphylla taxa of bryophytes were used in the present study carried out to determine the free radical scavenging activities, fatty acid, and vitamin contents. In this study, it was aimed to underline the importance of bryophytes for scientific literature and to provide a basis for further studies on this subject. The data obtained in this study indicate that the DPPH radical scavenging effect of D. scoparium taxon is significantly higher than that of P. platyphylla taxon. It is known that there is a strong relationship between the phenolic compound content of methanol extracts of the plants and the DPPH radical scavenging efficiency. When the fatty acid contents were examined, it was observed that levels of all unsaturated fatty acids were higher in the P. platyphylla taxon than the D. scoparium taxon, except for α-Linolenic acid. When the vitamin contents of species were compared, it was determined that D-3, α -tocopherol, stigmasterol, betasterol amount was higher in Dicranum taxon. Keywords: DPPH, Fatty Acid, Vitamin, Dicranaceae, Porellaceae Dicranum scoparium ve Porella platyphylla taxonlarının biyokimyasal bileşiklerinin serbest radikal temizleme faaliyetleri Öz Ülkemizde briyofitler ile ilgili olan çalışmalar genellikle briyofloristik amaçlı olup serbest radikal temizleme aktiviteleri ve yağ asidi içerikleri gibi diğer amaçlı çalışmalar yok denecek kadar azdır.

  • The Red Data List of Irish Plants
    The Red Data List of Irish Plants The risks that species face are each very different, however, as a guide to the susceptibility of a given species, an agreed set of categories has been established internationally, and these are used to determine the potential risk that a species could become extinct. These categories are:- CRITICALLY ENDANGERED or CR - Species that are declining at a fast rate, and face imminent risk of extinction. ENDANGERED or E - Species that are declining, or grow in habitats likely to be disturbed, 'developed' or facing an ongoing degradation. VULNERABLE or V - Species that are currently not endangered, but would be extremely vulnerable if their habitats are disturbed in the future. There are seven species of plant that require immediate intervention (CR) if we are to save them from joining the fate of 11 other species that are now known to be extinct in Ireland. A number of these are already extinct in the Republic, and are not therefore legally protected under the 1999 Flora Protection Act. In the list below, 188 species of plant are listed, of which 64 are flowering plants, 4 ferns, 14 mosses, 4 liverworts, 1 lichen and 2 algae. Protected=1999 Flora Protection Order; (protected)= formerly protected by 1987 Order; {protected}= formerly protected by 1980 Order; (NI)= protected in Northern Ireland only.

Crone3 esis has rarely been tested. Understanding which species and habitats are most likely to be affected is critical for adaptive management and conservation. We monitored the density of 46 populations representing 28 species of arctic-alpine or boreal plants at the southern margin of their ranges in the Rocky Mountains of Montana, USA, between 1988 and 2014 and analysed population trends and relationships to phylogeny and habitat. Marginal populations declined overall during the past two decades; however, the mean trend for 18 dicot populations was À5.8% per year, but only À0.4% per year for the 28 populations of monocots and pteridophytes. Declines in the size of peripheral populations did not differ significantly among tundra, fen and forest habitats. Results of our study support predicted effects of climate change and suggest that vulnerability may depend on phylogeny or associated anatomical/physiological attributes.

  • Phytogeographical Analysis and Ecological Factors of the Distribution of Orchidaceae Taxa in the Western Carpathians (Local Study)
    plants Article Phytogeographical Analysis and Ecological Factors of the Distribution of Orchidaceae Taxa in the Western Carpathians (Local study) Lukáš Wittlinger and Lucia Petrikoviˇcová * Department of Geography and Regional Development, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra, 94974 Nitra, Slovakia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +421-907-3441-04 Abstract: In the years 2018–2020, we carried out large-scale mapping in the Western Carpathians with a focus on determining the biodiversity of taxa of the family Orchidaceae using field biogeographical research. We evaluated the research using phytogeographic analysis with an emphasis on selected ecological environmental factors (substrate: ecological land unit value, soil reaction (pH), terrain: slope (◦), flow and hydrogeological productivity (m2.s−1) and average annual amounts of global radiation (kWh.m–2). A total of 19 species were found in the area, of which the majority were Cephalenthera longifolia, Cephalenthera damasonium and Anacamptis morio. Rare findings included Epipactis muelleri, Epipactis leptochila and Limodorum abortivum. We determined the ecological demands of the abiotic environment of individual species by means of a functional analysis of communities. The research confirmed that most of the orchids that were studied occurred in acidified, calcified and basophil locations. From the location of the distribution of individual populations, it is clear that they are generally arranged compactly and occasionally scattered, which results in ecological and environmental diversity. During the research, we identified 129 localities with the occurrence of Citation: Wittlinger, L.; Petrikoviˇcová, L. Phytogeographical Analysis and 19 species and subspecies of orchids. We identify the main factors that threaten them and propose Ecological Factors of the Distribution specific measures to protect vulnerable populations.

  • Additions to the New Flora of Vermont
    Gilman, A.V. Additions to the New Flora of Vermont. Phytoneuron 2016-19: 1–16. Published 3 March 2016. ISSN 2153 733X ADDITIONS TO THE NEW FLORA OF VERMONT ARTHUR V. GILMAN Gilman & Briggs Environmental 1 Conti Circle, Suite 5, Barre, Vermont 05641 [email protected] ABSTRACT Twenty-two species of vascular plants are reported for the state of Vermont, additional to those reported in the recently published New Flora of Vermont. These are Agrimonia parviflora, Althaea officinalis , Aralia elata , Beckmannia syzigachne , Bidens polylepis , Botrychium spathulatum, Carex panicea , Carex rostrata, Eutrochium fistulosum , Ficaria verna, Hypopitys lanuginosa, Juncus conglomeratus, Juncus diffusissimus, Linum striatum, Lipandra polysperma , Matricaria chamomilla, Nabalus racemosus, Pachysandra terminalis, Parthenocissus tricuspidata , Ranunculus auricomus , Rosa arkansana , and Rudbeckia sullivantii. Also new are three varieties: Crataegus irrasa var. irrasa , Crataegus pruinosa var. parvula , and Viola sagittata var. sagittata . Three species that have been reported elsewhere in 2013–2015, Isoetes viridimontana, Naias canadensis , and Solidago brendiae , are also recapitulated. This report and the recently published New Flora of Vermont (Gilman 2015) together summarize knowledge of the vascular flora of Vermont as of this date. The New Flora of Vermont was recently published by The New York Botanical Garden Press (Gilman 2015). It is the first complete accounting of the vascular flora of Vermont since 1969 (Seymour 1969) and adds more than 200 taxa to the then-known flora of the state. However, the manuscript for the New Flora was finalized in spring 2013 and additional species are now known: those that have been observed more recently, that have been recently encountered (or re-discovered) in herbaria, or that were not included because they were under study at the time of finalization.
