Dolomite Vegetation as a System

Sandro Pignatti ; Università di Roma "La Sapienza", Italia

Abstract

Origin and structure of vegetation on dolomite are interpreted on the basis of flow diagrams. The first diagram visualizes general relations among the principal components of the dolomite system; the following diagrams deal with processes of ecophysiological and ecomorphological selection. Environmental factors are reducing the available floristic stock to a relatively low number of species (ca. 100), which are particularly adapted to ecological conditions of the site. In this way the floristic and biological characters of dolomite communities can be better understood.
