Flora and vegetation of forest natural habitats in Natura 2000 protected area Kamchia (BG0000116) and beach Shkorpilovtsi (BG0000100)

Абстракт

The flora and vegetation in the protected area Kamchia were studied, as part of the European  ecological network Natura 2000 within the implementation of the project Mapping and determination o f the environmental status o f natural habitats and species- phase I.  Contract Nr. 04-014/05.04.2011. The paper presents data on the flora and vegetation in five types of forest natural habitats with codes 91E0, 91F0, 91G0, 91M0 and 92A0. Totally 222 high plant species were recorded in the studied habitats and seven of them were with conservation status. All obtained data confirmed the high conservation value of the flora and vegetation of the protected area and need for strict measures for its protection.
