Abstract: 

The flora within Protected Areas (PAs) plays a crucial role in providing essential resources for wildlife, including forage, shelter, breeding sites, and water. However, the current understanding of the floristic composition of Mikumi National Park (MINAPA) is limited, hindering the implementation of effective conservation and management strategies. This study aimed to update the plant species records for MINAPA based on the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG) IV classification by analyzing the data from unpublished surveys conducted between the 1960s and 1990s, as well as a more recent survey in 2021. A total of 951 species records were compiled, representing 504 genera and 124 families. Among these, 35 species were listed in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) red list with 15 (1.6%) classified as Vulnerable (VU), 7 (0.7%) as Near Threatened (NT), 10 (1.0%) as Endangered (EN), and 3 (0.3%) as Critically Endangered (CR). Additionally, 16 species were found to be endemic to Tanzania. The data from the 1960s-1990s surveys revealed 778 species distributed across 421 genera and 106 families with 12 (1.5%) listed in the IUCN red list. Notably, 173 species (18.2%) were newly recorded in 2021 and distributed across 148 genera and 58 families. Among these newly recorded species, 21 (2.2%) were listed in the IUCN red list and 13 were found to be endemic to Tanzania. This study significantly enhanced our understanding of the flora of MINAPA and emphasized the importance of conducting regular surveys to update the status of floral resources in PAs, particularly where reports are based on outdated taxonomic nomenclature. These findings will contribute to the advancement of scientific research and management techniques, particularly in the context of ongoing changes in climatic conditions.

Abstract: 

A two-year study of garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.) was conducted, evaluating 81 foreign (from the Genebank Department of Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK; Institut für Pflanzengenetik und Kulturpflanzenforschung) in Gatersleben, Germany) and Iranian (local cultivars) genotypes for seed yield and 18 traits. The first two principal components of the genotype × trait interaction biplot accounted for 70% and 61% of the total genotype × trait interaction for the years 2012 and 2013, respectively. The vertex genotypes for the first year were G23, G59, G61, G51, G6, and G12 and for the second year were G32, G78, G53, and G20. Traits, such as seed yield and biological yield, were favorable in sectors of G32 and G12 and these vertex genotypes fell in the same sectors in both years. A positive association was observed between plant height and biological yield, as well as between the main stem axis and seed yield in both years as indicated by the acute angles. Based on seed yield, Genotype G6 was the best followed by Genotypes G29, G32, G48, and G50 in the first year and Genotype G32 followed by Genotypes G29 and G42 were the best genotypes in the second year. Given the importance of main axis length, biological yield, plant height, and flowering period regarding seed yield in this and previous investigations, these traits should be selected in garden cress.

Abstract: 

Determining the geophyte flora is of principal significance, not only for the conservation of plant diversity but also for its economic impact. Many geophytes hold economic value, serving as food sources, medicinal plants, and ornamental species. This paper presents the first comprehensive study of monocot geophytes in Isfahan province, Iran, focusing on their composition and species diversity. The study exposed a total of 187 taxa (including species and subspecies), covering 61 genera and 15 families among monocotyledonous geophytes in Isfahan province. Remarkable families comprise Poaceae (44 taxa; 23.52%), Amaryllidaceae (35 taxa; 18.72%), Liliaceae (27 taxa; 14.43%), Iridaceae and Asparagaceae (17 taxa; 9.09%). Moreover, the research identified that 66 species (35.29% of all taxa) belong to the Irano-Turanian region (monoregional), ten species (5.35%) are pluriregional, 14 species (7.48%) exhibit cosmopolitan distribution, while 97 taxa (51.87%) are shared across the Irano-Turanian region and other floristic regions. The study also determined 25 taxa as endemic to Iran, creating 13.36% of all monocotyledonous geophytes in Isfahan province. The conclusions highlight the critical need for the application of effective conservation strategies to conservation these valuable geophyte species.

Abstract: 

Qom province with the surface area of 11526 km2 lies between 34˚8́ 35˚11́ N and 50˚4́ 51˚59́ E is located in Iran. According to the Global Bioclimatic Classification System (GBC), Qom province characterized by a Mediterranean climate and of xeric and desertic continental sub-climates. A checklist was prepared to outline the species richness of the studied area, including 841 plant species representing 385 genera and 81 families. 109 species were also reported for the first time, which were not previously reported from this province in botanical sources and studies. Angiosperms are represented by 734 and 100, Eudicots and Monocots, respectively. The prominent families are Asteraceae with, 117 and Fabaceae with, 87 species. Richest genera fall into Astragalus (59), Salsola (16) and Cousinia (15). However, 51.8% of the families are monogene0ric, while 59.5% of the monogeneric families are monospecific. Therophyte (37.9%) and hemicryptophyte (35.1%) are dominant life form spectra in the studied area. Results also indicate the Irano-Turanian species (60.2%) are the main chorological elements of Qom province. Of all studied species, nearly 63 (7.5%) belong to Iranian endemics. The main vegetation types found in Qom province include semi-desert Artemisia steppe, thorn-cushion mountain steppe, open shrublands, cliff vegetation, marl and gypsophilous vegetation, halophytic vegetation, psammophyte vegetation, aquatic and riverine communities, as well as invasive and ruderal communities. By using species richness analysis in 0.1-degree grids, Veshnaveh and Palang Darre were identified as the richest areas of Qom province.

Abstract: 

Due to the high climatic diversity, Iran has a very rich flora, 20 to 25% of which is endemic to Iran. Of the 34 centers of endemism in the world, five centers are located in Iran; most of them belong to high and mountainous areas. Flora, plant diversity and conservation status of the tourism area of Takhte-Sartashtak in the southeast of Iran have been studied. The area is located in the southwest of Kerman province. Its average altitude is 3600 m above sea level, the range of the longitude is 57˚ 6ʹ to 57˚ 14ʹ and latitude is 29˚ 16ʹ to 29˚ 23ʹ. This area is mountainous and a part of the Irano-Turanian region. Nearly, all wild vascular plants species of the area were collected and identified. Life form, chorotype, phenology, and medicinal use were determined. A total of 306 plant species of 49 families with 195 genera were determined. Asteraceae with 51 species and Astragalus with 13 species were the largest family and genus respectively. There are 60 (19.6%) endemic and 46 (15.03%) rare identified plant taxa in this area. Because of various climatic conditions, different altitudes, and the creation of micro and macro-climates in the region, some species with various natures were seen. The conservation status of all plant species of the area in the world was determined using GeoCat online software; 191 (62.42%) plant species were identified as threatened, of which, 24 (7.85%) species are classified as Critically Endangered (CR), 114 (37.25%) Endangered (EN), and 53 (17.32%) Vulnerable (VU).

Abstract: 

The study area, Mount Soffeh in Isfahan, with an elevation range of 1700 to 2250 m, is situated at the southernmost tip of Isfahan city, making it one of the most significant mountains in Isfahan. This research aimed to discover the botanical diversity and floristic composition of this mountain. Accordingly, plant specimens were collected from various regions of Mount Soffeh during the growing season, from March 2021 to December 2023. According to this study, a total of 258 species were identified, belonging to 189 genera and 46 families. The largest identified families in the area, in order, include: Asteraceae with 57 species, Poaceae with 24 species, Brassicaceae with 18 species, Amaranthaceae with 15 species, Fabaceae with 15 species, Lamiaceae with 15 species, Boraginaceae with 13 species, Apiaceae with 11 species, and Caryophyllaceae with 8 species. The flora comprises 40 dicotyledon families, 4 monocotyledon families, one gymnosperm family, and one pteridophyte family. The life forms, according to the Raunkiaer system, include 37.2% Therophytes, 35.27% Hemicryptophytes, 16.27% Chamaephytes, 5.03% Phanerophytes, 5.41% Cryptophytes (Geophytes and Helophytes), and 0.77% Parasites. Furthermore, in terms of geographical distribution, 45.34% of the plants in this area are related to the Irano-Turanian area, with the rest belonging to two or more geographical points. Forty-four species are also endemic or sub-endemic to Iran. Our research represents a significant leap in understanding the botanical diversity of Mount Soffeh. While historical records documented approximately 100 species on Mount Soffeh until 2021, our study exposes a notable increase, with over 250 species identified. Particularly significant is the discovery of about 190 taxa reported for the first time on Mount Soffeh, emphasizing the importance of ongoing botanical exploration in the region. Additionally, we report the first documentation of Tanacetum stapfianum (Rech.f.) Podlech in Isfahan province and specifically on Mount Soffeh, expanding our knowledge of the regional flora. Despite the absence of grazing, Mount Soffeh faces threats from tourism, climbing, and infrastructure development such as roads and cable cars, endangering its delicate ecosystem and species diversity. Conservation measures are essential for the protection of Mount Soffeh's botanical richness for the future.
