1 October 2022 | This is a new site. For the time being the multidimensional, net-like structure of the upcoming contributions is under development, and there is not much contents yet.
The biggest part of work presently undertaken happens in the background: the entry of all of the hand-written data collected through the years into my database. This comprises thousands of vegetation relevés und an similar amount of floristic findings. This will be the foundation of respective publishing and is supposed to last until spring 2023. In the meantime, I will make but a few contributions to and changes on the website…
Syntaxonomy
Primary concern of the work in 2022 is the therophytic vegetation, especially the diversity of respective low-growing spring and early summer units. Special focus lies on the relationship of ruderal, segetal und pioneer dry grassland types, which is very complex. Summer has seen some work on the Eragrostion, which concept is by now fairly advanced. Altogether about 250 additional relevés have been performed in 2022.
Relevant Floristic Findings
2022 again has been rich in findings of extremely rare or even new species, just as the last years. Some of the species found are most probably new to Austria, such as Dysphania anthelmintica and Hainardia cylindrica. There will be more information later.
