Phytosociology with Other Characteristic Biologically and Ecologically of Plant in Palestine

Abstract

Idna, Hebron area, Palestine was subject to phytosociological study through the period from March to May 2013; this area has a characteristic dry, arid, semi-arid and very little of sub-humid and locates between Mediterranean, Negev and Sinai regions. We took 237 samples of different species plants from Idna village; the absence of phytosociological studies on the area led us to run a statistical treatment on the 237 woody plant inventories. Moreover, the inventories were made following Braun-Blanquet 1979; we transformed the Braun-Blanquet species abundance-dominance values into those of Van der Maarel 1979. In the statistical treatment we obtained two large groups in the cluster: group (A), representing forests, copses and high shrublands influenced by climate (climatophilous); and group (B), representing Tamarix copses which are influenced by edaphohygrophilic. Working a great interest for Palestine. Due to the lack of phytosociological studies in this country. For the first time gets to sample and characterize the phytosociological methodology woody plant communities. The objective of this study is to obtain bioclimatic indicators to trigger sustainable agricultural development. We propose eight association plant communities such as ASL1 = association of woody plants (association one)-Pistacio palaestinae-Quercetum lokii; ASL2-Capparido sinaicae-Ceratonietum siliquae; ASL3-Cerasus microcarpae-Quercetum ithaburensis; ASL4-Pyro siriacae-Abietetum cilicicae; ASL5-Abio ciliciae-Ceratonietum siliquae; ASL6-Periploco aphylli-Pinetum halepensis; ASL7-Cytisopsis pseudocytiso-Tamaricetum tetragynae; ASL8-Crataego sinaicae-Tamaricetum jordanii.

Assessing Crop Yield Sustainability under the Climatic and Bioclimatic Change in the Area of Palestine

“…This was done by comparing the dependent variables olive, grape and fig production with the total independent variables, the three bioclimatic parameters Io, Ic and It/Itc, and with the four physical parameters, from nine sampling plots. In the first place it was observed that the Nablus, Jenin, Jericho and Gaza type plots are located at the left of axis 1, and plots are more affected by the T and It/Itc, while all the Hebron, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Tulkarem and Ramallah type plots are at the right of axis 2, and reveal the influence of annual ombrothermic index, continentally index, precipitation, water deficit and soil water reserve, with a large proportion of the variance explained by axis 1 (86.41%), as opposed to axis 2 (13.58%) (Figure 5), hence, we note that there is the impact of these factors on the production and sustainability of these plants; also, we indicated the climatic andbioclimatic factors affecting biology and plant communities [25].…”

“…Mild to cool and wet winters followed by warm springs, then warm to hot summers with little precipitation provide adequate growth potential and increase the likelihood of higher wine quality [34]- [36] and [14]. In the (CCA), with a variance of 86.41% (Figure 5) between production and environmental factors (T, It/Itc) explained by axis 1, whereas in plots type Hebron, Tulkarem, Bethlehem, Jerusalem and Ramallah, production depends on precipitation, also, the annual precipitation rates are deemed likely to fall in Palestine decreasing with an increased risk of summer drought [25] [37] [38], and the effect of reduced precipitation could result in reducing annual groundwater recharge in the West Bank by 30% of existing value [39]; and soil water reserves and water deficit, maybe, this is probably also due to the lack of rainfall in general for these areas and the type of soil, therefore, storm water runoff are affected by soil types and local variations [40] [41]. And so we need to study strategic climate change adaptation planning and monitoring of groundwater quality and quantity, and the soil type and quality.…”

A Phytosociological of Plant Communities and Biodiversity in the East-South of Idna Village-Hebron of Palestine

“…Moreover, it is found that about 2750 species of plants including 138 families were estimated for Palestinian flora [22], [23], while in the other study the flora of Palestine includes 149 endemic species [24], (6% of the total flora), which of 43% are found to be common, 27.5% are rare and 25.6% are very rare. The recent study there recorded more than 1881 species of plant, which of 53 are endemic rare species in the fourth areas of Palestine as Hebron, Ramallah, Jericho and Jenin [19], and we described eight new plant associations, of which two have a dry-sub-humid ombrotype (Pistacio palaestinae-Quercetum lokii; Cerasus microcarpae-Quercetum ithaburensis) in the area of Idna, Hebron of Palestine [3].…”

“…Palestine has a wide range of agro-ecological concerns, particular geographic How to cite this paper: Ighbareyeh J.M.H., and Cano Carmona, E. (2018) A Phytosociological of Plant Communities and Biodiversity in the East-South of Idna Vil-International Journal of Geosciences location, with a series of environmental, a unique biodiversity and a large variety of plants [1] [2] [3], it has a Mediterranean climate, characterized by mild rainy winters and hot dry summers, with a tropical-subtropical tendency in the far south, and rainfall decreases from north to south, while the temperature increases [2]. Climate and bioclimate were played an important role in influence on plant communities, plant production, and biological resources [1]- [20].…”

Study of Biology and Bioclimatology Applied of Apricot (Prunus Armeniaca L.): to Increase the Economy and Maintaining Food Security in Palestine

“…Recent studies [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] have highlighted the influence of bioclimatology on plant yield; however this is the first time the bioclimatic characterization of the different varieties has been under taken. Palestine is belonging to the inframediterranean to mesomediterranean of bioclimatic belts; and arid, semiarid, dry, sub-humid and humid of ombrotype [12][13][14][15].…”
