Distributions of vascular plants in the Czech Republic (original) (raw)

Red List of vascular plants of the Carpathian part of Slovakia

The paper presents the first Red List of vascular plants of the Carpathian part of Slovakia created according to the actual Guidelines for Application of IUCN Red List Criteria using also the up to now unofficial categories and additional (qualifying) criteria. It contains 1,001 taxa of native plants, archaeophytes and some neophytes representing approximately 25% of the native taxa of the flora of Slovakia and 40% of taxa present in the Slovak Carpathians. Out of them 46 are Regionally Extinct (category RE), 18 missing [1 taxon in the category EX?, 4 taxa in the category RE?, 13 taxa in the category CR(PE)], 461 threatened [149 taxa Critically Endangered (category CR), 141 taxa Endangered (category EN), 171 taxa Vulnerable (category VU)], 290 Near Threatened (category NT), 103 Least Concern (category LC). Seventy six taxa are assessed in the category Data Deficient (DD), and 7 taxa are listed under Not Applicable (category NA) because of their unclear taxonomic status.

Endemic taxa of vascular plants in the Polish Carpathians

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2003

The Carpathians, particularly their highest massif, the Tatra Mountains, exhibit the greatest richness of endemics in Poland. The present paper is a critical recapitulation of existing knowledge of endemism among the vascular plants of the Polish part of the Carpathians. It comprises a list of all 110 taxa (49 species, 26 microspecies of the genus <em>Alchemilla </em>and 35 conspicuous subspecies) that can be considered Carpathian endemics or subendemics. Their distribution, vertical ranges and habitats are characterized.

New chorological records of vascular plants for Bulgaria

Phytologia Balcanica, 2004

Abstract. New locations of 17 taxa for the Bulgarian flora are reported. Of these, six taxa are new for Mt. Sredna Gora: Achillea depressa, Astragalus glycyphylloides, Dianthus stribrnyi, Nardus stricta, Ranunculus sartorianus, and Rumex patientia subsp. recurvatus. Five species are ...

Pladias Database of the Czech flora and vegetation

Preslia

The Pladias (Plant Diversity Analysis and Synthesis) Database of the Czech Flora and Vegetation was developed by the Pladias project team in 2014-2018 and has been continuously updated since then. The flora section of the database contains critically revised information on the Czech vascular flora, including 13.6 million plant occurrence records, which are dynamically displayed in maps, and data on 120 plant characteristics (traits, environmental associations and other information), divided into the sections: (1) Habitus and growth type, (2) Leaf, (3) Flower, (4) Fruit, seed and dispersal, (5) Belowground organs and clonality, (6) Trophic mode, (7) Karyology, (8) Taxon origin, (9) Ecological indicator values, (10) Habitat and sociology, (11) Distribution and frequency, and (12) Threats and protection. The vegetation section of the database contains information on Czech vegetation types extracted from the monograph Vegetation of the Czech Republic. The data are supplemented by national botanical bibliographies, electronic versions of the standard national flora and vegetation monographs, a database of more than 19,000 pictures of plant taxa and vegetation types, and digital maps (shapefiles) with botanical information. The data from the database are available online on a public portal www.pladias.cz, which also provides download options for various datasets and online identification keys to the species and vegetation types of the Czech Republic. In this paper, we describe the general scope, structure and content of the database, and details of the data on plant characteristics. To illustrate the data and describe the main geographic patterns in selected plant characteristics, we provide maps of mean values of numerical characteristics or proportions of categories for categorical characteristics on the map of the country in a grid of 5 longitudinal × 3 latitudinal minutes (approximately 6.0 km × 5.5 km). We also summarize the main variation patterns in the functional traits in the Czech flora using the principal component analysis.
