HE present study aims to study the floristic characteristics of the native trees and shrubs T(with height ≥50cm) in the Egyptian flora. The floristic characteristics include taxonomic diversity, life and sex forms, flowering activity, dispersal types,economic potential, threats and national and global floristic distributions. Nine field visits were conducted to many locations all over Egypt for collecting trees and shrubs. From each location, plant and seed specimens were collected from different habitats. In present study 228 taxa belonged to 126 genera and 45 families were recorded, including 2 endemics (Rosa arabica and Origanum syriacum subsp. sinaicum) and 5 near-endemics. They inhabit 14 habitats (8 natural and 6 anthropogenic). Phanerophytes (120 plants) are the most represented life form, followed by chamaephytes (100 plants). Bisexuals are the most represented. Sarcochores (74 taxa) are the most represented dispersal type, followed by ballochores (40 taxa). April (151 taxa) and March (149 taxa) have the maximum flowering plants. Small geographic range - narrow habitat - non abundant plants are the most represented rarity form (180 plants). Deserts are the most rich regions with trees and shrubs (127 taxa), while Sudano-Zambezian (107 taxa) and Saharo-Arabian (98 taxa) was the most. Medicinal plants (154 taxa) are the most represented good, while salinity tolerance (105 taxa) was the most represented service and over-collecting and over-cutting was the most represented threat.

  • Fieldtrip Manual for Plant Biodiversity
    Fieldtrip manual for Plant Biodiversity Ana Juan, Mª Ángeles Alonso, Alejandro Terrones, Joaquín Moreno, Joan Pérez & José Carlos Cristóbal Department of Environmental Sciences and Natural Resources Fieldtrip manual for Plant Biodiversity Introduction Plant Biodiversity is a subject taught during the second year of the Undergraduate Degree in Biology at the University of Alicante. The main principles about the diversity and morphology of the plants are mostly given during the theoretical classes. This fieldtrip practical manual, together with the laboratory sessions, gives the students an opportunity to see our most common wild plant species. Their direct observations allow them to identify properly the main botanical families, genera and species of our wild flora. This Fieldtrip manual for Plant Biodiversity has been written to enhance the understanding of plant diversity and to identify the different ecological conditions for plant species. Students have to understand that “plants do not grow everywhere”. Most of our natural flora, and specially the endemic one, requires specific environmental conditions to grow. So, the objectives of these fieldtrips are to identify wild flora and to recognise the ecological habitats where many of the identified plant species live. According to the official organisation of the subject Plant Biodiversity at the University of Alicante, nine hours correspond to two field practical sessions, which last 4 and 5 hours, respectively. This manual has been organised in only two chapters. Each chapter includes the description of the places to visit: - Chapter 1. Fieldtrip “Urbanova”: study of coastal sand dunes and salt marshes. - Chapter 2. Fieldtrip “Estación Biológica de Torretes”: study of mountain habitats.

  • Synanthropic Flora of Petra (Jordan)
    Synanthropic flora of the archaeological sites of Petra (Jordan) Prof. Dr. Dietmar Brandes http://www.ruderal-vegetation.de/verschiedene_regionen/index.htm Petra – Ancient capital of the Nabateans • The most famous place of Jordan is Petra, the former capital of the Nabateans. The hidden location, the safe water supply and the position at the crossing of the Incense Route and the overland route from Egypt to India gave the Nabateans a hold over the trade. • Some 800 monuments are still to be found in the area. In 1985 Petra was designated a World Heritage Site; in 2007 it was named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. • Petra (30 19‘ 44‘‘N 35 26‘ 25‘‘O) is situated in an altitude between 800 and 1.350 m. • From the biogeographical point of view it is near the crossing of the Mediterranean region, the Irano- Turanion region, the Saharo-Arabian and the Sudanian region. Khazne al-Firaun „Treasury“ • The access to the ancient city of Petra leads through the very impressive Siq, a dim gorge in the Umm Ishrin sandstone. • The Siq has a length of 1.200 m, the walls are 90-180 m high. Synanthropic flora of the Siq Adiantum capillus-veneris, Anchusa strigosa, Ajuga chia, Arum elongatum, Ballota cf.

  • Taxonomic Implications of Multivariate Analyses of Egyptian Ononis L. (Fabaceae) Based on Morphological Traits Abdel Aziz A

OLWEY* Botany & Microbiology Department, Faculty of Science, Assiut University, 71516 Assiut, Egypt 1Botany Department, Faculty of Science, Cairo University, 12613 Giza, Egypt (Received 30 October 2018; Revised 18 March 2019; Accepted 26 March 2019) ABSTRACT: Numerical taxonomy is employed to determine the phenetic proximity of the Egyptian taxa belong- ing to the genus Ononis L. A classical clustering analysis and a principal component analysis (PCA) were used to separate 57 macro- and micromorphological characters in order to circumscribe 11 taxa of Ononis. A clus- tering analysis using the unweighted pair-group method with the arithmetic means (UPGMA) method gives the highest co-phenetic correlation. Results from clustering and PCA revealed the segregation of five groups. Our results are in line, to some certain degree, with the traditional sub-sectional concept, as can be seen in the group- ing of the representative members of the subsections Diffusae and Mittisimae together and the representative members of the subsections Viscosae and Natrix. The phenetic uniqueness of Ononis variegata and O. reclinata subsp. mollis was formally established. However, our findings contradict the classic sectional concept; this opin- ion was suggested earlier in previous phylogenetic circumscriptions of the genus. The most useful characters that provide taxonomic clarity were discussed.

The case of a constructed wetland in a 1 2 Mediterranean urban context 3 4 Abstract 5 6 7 Constructed wetlands (CW) are considered a successful tool to treat wastewater in many countries: 8 9 5 their success is mainly assessed observing the rate of pollution reduction, but CW can also 10 11 contribute to the conservation of ecosystem services. Among the many ecosystem services 12 13 provided, the biodiversity of constructed wetlands has received less attention. 14 The EcoSistema Filtro (ESF) of the Molentargius-Saline Regional Natural Park is a constructed 15 16 wetland situated in Sardinia (Italy), built to filter treated wastewater, increase habitat diversity and 17 18 10 enhance local biodiversity. A floristic survey has been carried out yearly one year after the 19 20 construction of the artificial ecosystem in 2004, observing the modification of the vascular flora 21 22 composition in time. The flora of the ESF accounted for 54% of the whole Regional Park’s flora; 23 alien species amount to 12%, taxa of conservation concern are 6%. Comparing the data in the years, 24 25 except for the biennium 2006/2007, we observed a continuous increase of species richness, together 26 27 15 with an increase of endemics, species of conservation concern and alien species too. Once the 28 29 endemics appeared, they remained part of the flora, showing a good persistence in the artificial 30 31 wetland.
