NEW DATA ON PLANTS OF CONSERVATION SIGNIFICANCE OF THE FLORA OF CHEPAN MOUNTAIN (WESTERN STARA PLANINA, BULGARIA)
Abstract
The purpose of the work was to apply modern GIS technologies in exploration of a number of species of conservation value from the Chepan Mountain (Western Stara Planina, Bulgaria). A field survey was carried out and localities of the target plants were identified. The localities of Adonis vernalis L., Dactylorhiza sambucina (L.) S?o, Edraianthus serbicus (A. Kern.) Petrovi?, Tragopogon balcanicum Velen., Tulipa urumoffii Hayek were mapped by GPS measurements on the field. The data obtained were used as a basis for establishment of a database about the localities the explored rare species, intended for work and spatial analysis in GIS environment. Interactive maps and electronic passports of the localities have been prepared, including characteristics of the habitats and the floristic composition of the plant communities of the species examined. An assessment of the state of the investigated populations based on the GIS analysis was carried out and a forecast of their future state was done. A proposal for declaring a protected area in the research object is justified.
