Other claims from this paper (19)
- Observation Twelve new Echinops exaltatus localities were found in Southern Opillya.
- Observation The northeastern range boundary shifted by 44 km.
- Observation Echinops exaltatus often occurred at wood margins, among shrubs and in karst funnels.
- Observation Populations grew at high density.
- Observation Population area was usually 10-200 m 2.
- Observation Population size ranged from tens to thousands of ramets.
- Observation Mature generative specimens predominated in most populations.
- Observation Dactylis glomerata and Thalictrum minus were most frequent associates.
- Observation Meadow and forest species predominated in communities.
- Observation Margin species and synanthropes occurred less frequently.
- Association Individual morphometric traits varied strongly across populations with ecological conditions.
- Association Population vitality type depended on light conditions.
- Observation Populations in open forest margins or karst funnels were prosperous.
- Observation Mean seed number was 816 per ramet.
- Observation More than 26% of seeds were damaged by pests.
- Observation Laboratory germination capacity was 4-9%.
- Observation An average population produced 2.4 million seeds.
- Observation Generative population renewal was not significant despite high seed production.
- Recommendation The authors recommended protecting the known localities through park inclusion and botanical reserves.
