Short Communication: Flora, life form and chorological study of Quercus brantii habitat in Emamzadeh Abdullah woodland, Iran

Abstract

Roshan SA, Heydari M. 2014. Flora, life form and chorological study of Quercus brantii habitat in Emamzadeh Abdullah woodland,. Flora in each region identified an important role in maintaining national reserves of each country to play. Iran is one of the most important centers of plant diversity in to account old world comes closer to 22% of its 8000 plant species are exclusively. Emamzadeh Abdullah forest is located in southeastern Khouzestan province, Iran. The field data were obtained using 70 sample (20m x 20m) plots in a systematic random grid. The attributes include tree and shrub species type, number of each species and canopy coverage, which were recorded by measuring their small and large crown diameters in each sample plot. In order to record the herbaceous species, the Whitaker's snail plot method was applied, which resulted in 64 m² of the minimum plot area. In this study, 154 plant species recognized from the area were identified and collected to 106 genera and 38 belong to the family. Families by Papilionaceae with 20 species, Poaceae with 20 species, Asteraceae with 19 species and Lamiaceae with 12 species and large plant families that total 46.1% of all species are included. Investigation of life forms species shows that Hemicryptophyte are the most important.

Monitoring of Plant Ecological Units Cover Dynamics in a Semiarid Landscape from Past to Future Using Multi-Layer Perceptron and Markov Chain Model

“…PEU3 is dominated by semi-shrub species (Sc or). This plant species is ecologically an invasive species, and in areas where the plant community has been destroyed by tilling, it becomes dominant in the area [38]. Examination of 1986-1988 documents shows that this area was heavily tilled and cultivated but was abandoned due to low yields.…”

“…PEU2 is dominated by grass species (Br to). These plant species are palatable to livestock and are destroyed by grazing before their growth is completed [38]. Examination of 2002-2004 documents shows that this area was affected by severe grazing.…”
