Flora, mycota and vegetation of Dupkata Reserve (Rodopi Mts, Bulgaria)

Абстракт

The study represents a pilot scientific research of flora, mycota and vegetation within the Dupkata Reserve. Twenty three species, referred to 2 divisions, 3 classes and 16 families are recorded for the bryoflora. One of them is listed in the Habitat Directive. The vascular flora is presented by 103 species from 38 families. Forty eight vascular plants are considered as medicinal plants. Forty two species of larger ascomycetes and basidiomycetes are found in the reserve. Three of them are of high conservation value. The vegetation cover is consisted mostly of floristically poor communities of Spruce forest and mixed Spruce and Scots pine forests. Habitats within the reserve are presented by six types according to the Habitat Directive classification.
