Abstract
This paper presents a vegetation study of the Wadi Al-Quf Nursery Reserve territories of the west-north of Hebron-Palestine. These site is a very important at a local level of species of plant and flora with a high endemicity average. The floristic analysis revealed the existence of 82 species, of which 16 (19.51%) are endemic and ninety plots of vegetation distributed in this area. The phytosociological approach and analysis are based on the Braun- Blanquet methodology 1979, and used classification of the land for Salvador Rivas Martinez to analysis of the physical factors of the bioclimate and climate. However, Wadi Al-Quf Nursery Reserve, is located at the western of Hebron area and belong to infra Mediterranean to meso- Mediterranean thermotype, this area has a characteristic arid, dry and very little of sub-humid and located between Mediterranean basin, Negev, desert Sinai and Red Sea region. We took 300 samples of different species plants from Wadi Al-Quf Nursery Reserve. In the statistical treatment we obtained two large groups in the cluster; group (A), representing forests, copses and high shrub lands influenced by climate (climatophilous); and group (B), representing <i>pino</i> copses which are influenced by climatophilous. We have three associations limited as <i>Pistacio lentisci-Quercetum lokii</i> Ighbareyeh J. M. H., A. A. Suliemieh, A. Cano-Ortiz & E. Cano nova. <i>hoc loco</i>., <i>Ceratonio siliquae-Quercetum callipinii </i>ass. nova. and <i>Pino halepensis-Cupressetum sempervirentis </i>ass. nova., with a three alliance as <i>Pistachio- Quercion lokii, Ceratonio siliquae -Quercion calliprinae </i>and <i>Pino halepensis-Cupression sempervirentis</i>.
Highlights
Palestine’s particular geographic location, in conjunction with a series of environmental, bioclimatic factors, soil type, makes this a very fertile land [1]
The Leguminaceae family, for example, has 268 species, including 21 species of which endemic, whereas species of Iridaceae, eight of which are endemic [6], but today there are more than 155 species of endemics [2, 5]. It is the meeting ground for plant species that originate from various regions of the world, such as Western Europe, Central Asia and East Africa. They are characterized by a wide range of wildlife resources and represent a rich base of flora and fauna in which natural organisms are formed by an estimated 2,483 species of plants living in Palestine [7], Palestine, located in the Mediterranean Basin, is considered the hot spot of the world's biodiversity that should be conserved [8, 9], these plants are ecologically adapted in different parts of
The main aims of the present study are to contribute to the knowledge of plant taxa, biodiversity, flora, and to phytosociological with others characteristics biologicals and ecologically of plant in Wadi Al-Quf Nursery Reserve, Hebron of Palestine
