A floristic study of forest plants, case study: Gozoo Taxus baccata habitat, Savadkouh

Forests are ecosystems with effective ecological functions. Species richness and biological diversity have been declined throughout the world as a result of human activities. Monitoring plant populations in forests is a fundamental component of management and conservation. Generally, identifying and introducing plants in a region and studying the diversity of plant species is important as a basis for environmental research that include the location determining and the time of planting certain plant species, determining the vegetative potential in the area, identifying resistant and endangered species, and helping to preserve plants species and exploit them in principle. This study was determined characteristics such as chorotype, life form, longevity on plant species in part of the Gozoo forests. Firstly, we prepared a list of plant species and their characteristics according to observations and library resources. For data analysis, the Excel software was used. The results showed that among 42 species, the Rosaceae and Poaceae families have the most abundant species. The life form in all plant species was determined by using of Raun Kiaer s method and they are including 48% Phanerophytes, 20% Hemicryptophytes, 12% Cryptophytes, 12% Therophytes and 2% Chamaephytes. The most species belong to the Europe – Siberia region. These results indicate that, the existence of favorable climatic conditions for growing temperate regions
