special habitat for bryophytes and lichens in the arid zones of Spain

The bryophytic and lichen vegetation on gypsiferous soils in the arid/semiarid climates of South-east Spain shelters beneath bunches of large perennial grasses (mainly Stipa tenacissima and Lygeum spartum). Three bryo-lichenic vegetation zones were identified which show close correspondence to the d...

Description
Summary:The bryophytic and lichen vegetation on gypsiferous soils in the arid/semiarid climates of South-east Spain shelters beneath bunches of large perennial grasses (mainly Stipa tenacissima and Lygeum spartum). Three bryo-lichenic vegetation zones were identified which show close correspondence to the degree of protection afforded by the grasses. These zones are clearly differentiated both pedologically and floristically. /// Растительность бриофитов и лишайников на гипсоносных почвах в аридных/полуаридных климатах южно-восточной Испании укрывается под пучками больших многолтних трав (особенно Stipa tenacissima и Lygeum spartum). Растительность зон бриофитов и лишай ников была идентифицирована, это обнаруживает близкое соотношение со степенью защиты, оказанной травами. Эти зоны ясно дифференцированы что касается почвоведения и флористики.
