Abstract

Wetlands are characterized with unique flora and VEGETATION in southern slopes of Alborz Mts. To date, there are scares studies related to mountain WETLAND INDICATOR SPECIES and the main factors affecting their distributional patterns. The aim of the project is to test a hypothesis that represent the considering the WETLAND species as ecological indicators. To reach this aim, the relationships between altitude, soil properties and the occurrence of INDICATOR SPECIES (in 512 relevé) were examined by using TWINSPAN analysis and ECOLOGICAL PROFILE method. Out of 41 studied plant species, 11 species were identified as INDICATOR SPECIES in three VEGETATION groups by TWINSPAN analysis. Group I, with Ligularia persica, Gypsophila elegans were restricted in high altitude (>2500 m) and in acidic (<6.3) and sandy soils (>55%), Group II, with Pedicularis sibtorphii and Carex diluta were observed in the middle level of ecological variables particularly altitude (2050-2550 m) and pH (6.4-7.6), and Group III, with Schoenoplectus lacustris, Carex songorica and Lythrum salicaria have found in the lower altitude (<2000 m), where soil is characterized by high pH (>7.7), EC (>10 ms/cm) and percent of clay (>36%). Finally 12 plant species (out of 41) had significant relationships (p<0.05) with altitude and soil variables by using ECOLOGICAL PROFILE method.
