| Title : | ECOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VASCULAR MACROPHYTE FLORA OF THE PROTECTED HABITAT "TIŠINA" |
| Abstract : | The paper presents the ecological characteristics of the vascular macrophyte flora of the protected habitat "Tišina". This area territorially belongs to the municipality of Šamac (Bosnia and Herzegovina). The protected habitat covers an area of 196.49 hectares and is located at an altitude of 85 m. The previous investigation of the flora of this area recorded the presence of 49 macrophytes. Ecological indices are provided according to Ellenberg, while data on life forms are taken from Oberdorfer. The research established the dominance of species in the submontane belt of temperate broad – leaved forests. The most abundant species are those on frequently flooded soils, and in terms of the chemical reaction of the soil, it can be concluded that there is a dominance of plants that grow mainly on basic soils. Regarding nutrient relationships, mesotrophic plants and plants from habitats moderately rich in nitrogen minerals are equally represented. In the studied area, there is a significant presence of species that require full daylight and those that are tolerant to shade. The most present in the studied area are sub-oceanic and oceanic-sub-oceanic species. In relation to the ecological index for salinity, most macrophytes in the research area are halophobic. Analysis of the biological spectrum of macrophytes revealed the dominance of hydrophytes. |
