New Data on the Vertical Distribution of Some Species of the Flora in Bulgaria
Journal Title: Ecologia Balkanica - Year 2013, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
During field studies in different floristic regions of Bulgaria in the period 2006-2013, we found localities of [i]Stellaria alsine[/i], [i]Trifolium heldreichianum[/i],[i] Koeleria nitidula[/i], [i]Sieglingia decumbens[/i], [i]Stipa tirsa[/i], [i]Verbascum formanekii[/i], [i]Pedicularis leucodon[/i], [i]Saxifraga stribrnyi[/i], [i]Inula aschersoniana[/i] and [i]Scilla bifolia[/i] that expand our knowledge of the vertical distribution of these species in Bulgaria, and hence their ecological niche in the country.
