Analysis of the floristic elements<br />

The analysis of the floristic elements mark out the<br />

dominant euro Asiatic elements, which among those<br />

central European sum up approximately 82 species<br />

(70%) from the reserve flora, forming more than half the<br />

floral elements which means that they constitute the<br />

floristic background of this reserve.<br />

Mediterranean and Ponto Mediterranean floristic<br />

elements, which are thermophile species found especially<br />

on the sunny slopes, form together 8%. However, the<br />

cosmopolitic species are also remarkable, representing<br />

5% from the total species found in the reserve.<br />

The fact that the reserve in situated in sloppy area is<br />

confirmed by the presence of the circumpolar and even<br />

alpine European at the reserve level, together<br />

representing 7% of the total species (Fig.4).<br />

Humidity<br />

If we group the plants by their humidity regimen in<br />

which they are adjust to live here, we will discover that<br />

the most dominant are xeromesophilic (U2-U2,5) which<br />

65<br />

are 42% from the total of the i<strong>de</strong>ntified species in the<br />

reserve, these being found in the droughtiest places,<br />

specially on the meadows.<br />

Notable are also the mesophilic (U3-U3,5) which have<br />

a percentage of 37%, and can be found in areas where the<br />

light is scarce or there is an excess in humidity, where the<br />

swamps dry up during the summer but nevertheless have an<br />

excess in moisture.<br />

The xerophilic (U1-U1,5) can be found in 5% and this<br />

shows the hot and arid summer climate, being especially<br />

noticed on the slopes that have a south exposure, covered<br />

with a small seam of clay soil.<br />

In a percentage of 6%, the mesophilical (U4-U4,5)<br />

species that prefer soils from humid to moist-wet, are found<br />

near lakes or where there is an excess in moisture all year<br />

long.<br />

Remarkable is the presence of the hydrophilic (U5-<br />

U5,5) and ultrahydrophilic (U6) species which together<br />

form 5% from the total of species, and can be found in the<br />

ponds or on their bor<strong>de</strong>r where water is present all year<br />

round.<br />

The amphytoletant (U0) species can also be found in<br />

the reserve in a percentage of 6%, being the most adaptable<br />

for these special conditions (Fig.5).<br />

Temperature<br />

Mesothermal (T3-T3,5) appear in a percentage of<br />

63%. Mild thermophilic (T4-T4,5) species appear in a<br />

percentage of 12%, which suggests that the climate in the<br />

reserve in a temperate-continental one.The<br />

amphylotolerant (T0) appear in 16% of the total.<br />

The cryophilic (T1) species are missing, and the<br />

microthermal (T5) species appear in a small percentage,<br />

only 1% (Fig.6).<br />
