Vascular plant biodiversity of the natural non-forest habitats in the Natura 2000 protected sites Kamchia (BG0000116) and Shkorpilovtsi Beach (BG0000100)

Абстракт

The current state of the vascular plant biodiversity of four natural non-forest habitats in the protected sites Kamchia and Shkorpilovtsi Beach was evaluated. The study was carried out in the framework of the propel Mapping and determination of the environmental status of natural habitats and species-phase I. Contract Nr. 04-014/05.04.2011. Totally 96 species of vascular plants were recorded, 47 in Kamchia and 81 in Shkorpilovtsi Beach. Among them fifteen species were with conservation status. Due to the negative impact of the intensive development of tourism and urbanization, construction works, waste, camping and sand thickening, the future permanent monitoring of both sites is strongly recommended.
