Abstract Riparian zones are the paragon of transitional ecosystems, providing critical habitat and ecosystem services that especially threatened by global change. Following consultation with experts, 10 key challenges were identified to be addressed for riparian vegetation science management improvement: (1) Create a distinct scientific community establishing stronger bridges between disciplines; (2) Make more visible appreciated in society policies; (3) Improve knowledge regarding...
Abstract We explored the diversification of south‐eastern and eastern European Euphorbia agraria s.l. applying molecular (amplified fragment length polymorphism [AFLP] fingerprinting sequencing nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer [ITS]), cytogenetic (relative genome size [RGS] estimations) morphometric methods. The AFLP data, to a lesser extent ITS sequences, inferred two main phylogenetic lineages corresponding Balkan‐Pontic E. central Balkan subhastata ; their closest relatives...
This study reports the first record of Spiraea hypericifolia subsp. in Kosovo, found on Mt. Golesh at 740 m a.s.l. The taxon forms a dense population serpentine substrates, occupying specific ecological niche. Due to its limited distribution and habitat requirements, it faces high risk extinction. A preliminary conservation status assessment suggests is Vulnerable (VU) D2 according IUCN criteria. Additional field surveys monitoring are needed protect this against environmental anthropogenic...
Kosovo, located at the intersection of continental, alpine and sub-Mediterranean climatic influences, represents a biogeographical transition zone with high ecological complexity. In this study, three different regions are delineated - region using an integrative approach combining vegetation, climate topography. By updated vegetation mapping, standardized environmental data K-means clustering, study shows spatial organization alliances along altitudinal gradients. The continental region,...
Abstract Sixteen endemic plant taxa were selected from Kosovo, according to the IUCN standards and for each taxon risk assessment threat category has been assigned. The compared with their previous status fifteen years ago. From sixteen taxa, which included in this work, four are Balkan endemics, whereas, eight of them local endemics stenoendemics. Six grown exclusively on serpentine soils, five limestone substrate, carbonate yet only one silicate substrate. work done based standard working...
In restoration projects, low stock grazing has become a popular means of management. However, an accurate understanding the effects on plants and spiders is often lacking. Although are not closely related evolutionarily or genetically, relationship between them can be complex diverse. Many species spider build their webs nests plants, using leaves, stems, flowers as anchoring points. This provides with protection from predators, access to prey stable habitat. On other hand, provide number...
Abstract Basic patterns of most priority biodiversity areas Kosovo that shall be considered for conservation studies are offered here. On this work, all plant taxa included in the Kosovarian Red list analysed and their analogy is interpreted to hotspots. represents an important centre Balkan biodiversity; therefore a quantitative evaluation importance different conserving diversity very much needed. This study provides detailed approach concerning identification conservation, using...
Abstract In Europe, the genus Ramonda is represented with three species: nathaliae , serbica and myconi . The first two are endemic Balkan species that distributed also in Kosovo. These grow limestone as well serpentine substrates, forming chasmophytic vegetation. found Macedonia, Greece, Serbia localities Kosovo, Sharri Mountains (Luboten Gotovushë). R. forms following plant associations serpentines of Macedonia: AsplenioRamondetum Scorzonero-Ramondetum AchilleoRamondetum substrates....
This paper presents the results of a detailed floristic study conducted during three consecutive years (2015)(2016)(2017) in central part Kosovo, mountain Golesh.The studied mountainous area is unique by reason its ecosystems and has high degree diversity regional flora.Because specific harsh environment as whole contains considerable amount endemic rare plant taxa.Therefore, flora different habitats been properly investigated must be adequately protected.All recorded taxa this correspond to...
With the aim of improving floristic knowledge Kosovo, here we present an inventory plant taxa recorded and collected between March 2015 September 2019, in mountain massif Luboten, Sharri Mts., SE Kosovo. Field surveys were conducted repeatedly for four years, on each vegetation season. this work aimed to provide detailed data concerning vascular flora richness distributional patterns. Floristic samples studied all representative habitats sites, climate, exposition, altitude bedrock...
The sedge-moss vegetation of the moderately to low calcium-rich slightly acidic fens Caricion fuscae alliance depends on a very specific combination ecological and climatic conditions thrive. Until recently, classification this group was complicated by its rarity southern edges range in Europe. As part larger database phytocenological relevés carried out Mt. Luboten, we came across an interesting 15 fen sites. We were curious know if plant community previously known association or it might...
This article presents the results of a floristic survey conducted between 2011 and 2021 on Mt. Kaznik, western Kosovo. In all, 361 plant taxa belonging to 75 families 147 genera vascular flora were recorded. These areas are dominated by serpentine soils, which known for increased occurrence endemic taxa. Detailed analysis chorological biological data in conjunction with general vegetation has highlighted distinctive nature making it floristically important area. Of identified, 15 classified...
Two new alien species, Rudbeckia hirta and Oenothera glazioviana, were recorded for the first time in southeastern Kosovo along banks of Lepenci River. The localities, habitat types population sizes these species studied. Twenty individuals found a 50 m² area, indicating its early naturalisation. known high invasiveness, was close to habitat. These findings suggest that river acted as pathway introduction species. Considering invasive nature it threatens native biodiversity. This study...
Abstract The subject of our research was Trifolium repens L. aim to assess the level morphological and anatomical variability among populations from different habitats (meadows, roadsides, subalpine slopes) altitudes (891–1881 m) in Brezovica (Sharri Mountain, Kosovo). investigation covered 26 traits 12 locations. From results obtained during this research, it can be concluded that there is a significant difference for most micro- macro-morphological traits. There also tendency towards...
Thousands of plant species worldwide produce about 600 different pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), which are known to cause disease in humans and animals. The plants for their PAs content were investigated 70 plots cultivated with 19 MAPs the natural habitats 20 wild species. Most poisonous found belong families Asteraceae Boraginaceae.
