Genus Cuscuta (Convolvulaceae) comprises of stem holoparasitic plants that are scientifically highly valuable, as they cause extensive crop damage. They exhibit high morphological similarity, which complicates their species identification. Determining the taxonomical status obtained specimens from Bulgaria, is crucial for exploring genetic diversity genus and establishing phylogenetic relationships within taxon. Thereby different correlations with geographic region particular environmental...
Aesculus hippocastanum L. (European Horse-chestnut) constitutes a biogeographical relict species of the Balkan Peninsula, occurring in isolated and topographically distinct localities Albania, Bulgaria, Greece North Macedonia. Despite its great botanical, ornamental pharmaceutical value, thorough investigation Ae. habitat diversity native distribution range has not been conducted yet. The present study aims at syntaxonomic classification ecological features plant communities dominated by...
The Balkan Vegetation Database (BVD; GIVD ID: EU-00-019; http://www.givd.info/ID/EU-00- 019) is a regional database that consists of phytosociological releves from different vegetation types six countries on the Peninsula (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Montenegro Serbia). Currently, it contains 9,580 releves, most them (78%) are geo-referenced. includes digitized literature (79%) unpublished data (21%). Herein we present descriptive statistics about attributive releve...
The present research is a part of the investigations over structure mixed forest communities Quercus cerris and frainetto in Bulgaria. investigated are typical for Habitat 91I0—Euro-Siberian steppic woods with spp., 91MO—Pannonian-Balkanic turkey oak-sessile oak forests. floristic composition about 100 described plant defined. According to geobotanical zoning they refer mainly European broad-leaved district Lower Danube province Eurasian woodsteppic district. About 598 species vascular...
Abstract Cuscuta campestris , or field dodder, is a non-photosynthetic, parasitic weed and prominent agricultural pest. It widely distributed in various climatic conditions parasitizes over 100 different host plants Bulgaria. The objective of the present study was to test hypothesis that epigenetic regulation key adaptation spp. environments plants, as well response parasitism. First, we tested 12 populations C. . Still, found no correlation between percentage methylated DNA acetylated...
Abstract This study was carried out in the carbonate (marble) part of North Pirin Mts. Its upper parts are declared protected area National Park category according to Bulgarian Protected Areas Act. It is also a NATURA 2000 zone under Habitats Directive, and natural UNESCO World Heritage Site. The main reason for conservation this territory exceptional concentration rare, relict endemic plant species, its specific flora, vegetation fauna. Subject communities habitats, with participation 8...
Genista lydia Boiss. is an endemic Balkan-Anatolian species which forms rare communities in the territory of south Bulgaria and northeast Greece. They are spread exclusively on acidic, siliceous substrates. This study presents new data their distribution, floristic ecological structure phytosociological affinities. The research based 156 relevés. Unweighted pair–group method with arithmetic averages (UPGMA) was employed a detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) performed prior to...
Plant communities of two peat-shrub species – Spiraea salicifolia and Potentilla fruticosa were studied in the Rhodope Mts., with emphasis on their use as a resource for mammals associated them. These shrubs are boreal relicts among dominant coniferous forests. The field surveys conducted spring-autumn period 2021–2022. In both study areas, composition was by camera traps medium large mammals, Sherman live small mammals. registered roe deer ( Capreolus capreolus ), red fox Vulpes vulpes wild...
Plants are continuously subjected to the unfavorable impact of abiotic stress factors, which soil salinity is among most adverse. Although away from direct contact throughout their lifecycle, stem parasitic plants genus Cuscuta, family Convolvulaceae also affected by salinity. The present study aimed assess salt on germination and early establishment three Cuscuta species, in comparison related nonparasitic vines same family. It was found, that spp. highly sensitive NaCl concentration within...
The data on the distribution in Bulgaria of species from genus Lathyrus were summarized and revised. collections main Bulgarian Herbariums SO, SOM SOA checked. New chorological for 10 taxa found: L. annuus, inconspicuus, pannonicus, sativus, setifolius, venetus, digitatus var. puberulus, latifolius brachypterus, sylvestris platyphyllos, venetus grandis. taxon inconspicuus is reported as a new one flora.
Over the past decade, efforts to value and protect ecosystem services have been promoted by many as last, best hope for making conservation mainstream. Here, we present results from evaluation of maintenance services, provided agroecosystems in Bulgaria. The was conducted on a range national, European international databases following methodology MAES classification system CICES adapted Bulgarian Ministry Environment Water. During study, 213857 were evaluated referring their capacity...
