Biologica Nyssana, 8 (1), September 2017: 39-45. A research has been done of the flora and natural habitats of the Dospat Dere area, which is located on the right bank of the Dospat river, between the Tuhovitsa and Zhizhevo villages, next to the border with Greece. The systematic specter of the flora contains 197 species of vascular plants (excluding the moss species). These vascular plants are referred to 143 genera and 57 families. As a result of this research, 5 habitats were established: 10 Е1 Pseudo-steppe with grasses and annual of the Thero-Brachypodietea, 08H3 Calcareous rocky slopes with chasmophytic vegetation, 21G1 Supra Mediterranean hop-hornbeam woods, 02G1 Southern Helleno-Balkanic swamp alder woods and 07G1 Helleno-Balkanic riparian plane forests.

Izvršeno je istraživanje flore i prirodnih staništa oblasti Dospat Dere, koja se nalazi na desnoj obali reke Dospat, između sela Tuhovica i Žiževo, pored granice sa Grčkom. Sistematski spektar flore sadrži 197 vrsta vaskularnih biljaka (sa izuzećem mahovina). Ove vaskularne biljke se svrstavaju u 143 roda i 57 familija. Kao rezultat ovog istraživanja, utvrđeno je 5 staništa: 10 E1 Psedostepe sa travama i jednogodišnjim biljkama Thero- Brachypodietea, 08H3 Krečnjačke stene sa hazmofitskom vegetacijom, 21G1 Supramediteranske šume crnog graba, 02G1 Južne grčko-balkanske močvarne šume jove i 07G1 grčko-balkanske riparijalne ravničarske šume. Ključne reči: floristička analiza, florni elementi, prirodna staništa Introduction The Dabrash mountain is the westernmost part of the Rhodopes mountain range, which happens to be the oldest piece of land on the Balkan peninsula. Its highest peak is located in the northern part of this area: Beslet peak (1937 m height). Its geological makeup is rather variable. There are predominantly silicate rocks: granite and granite gneiss. However, there are also basic and ultrabasic rocks, especially in the southern part, where the investigated area is located. The rocks are marble dating back to the 8 (1) • September 2017: 39-45 DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.963435 BIOLOGICA NYSSANA 8 (1)  September 2017: 39-45 Dimitrov, D.  Floristic and habitat diversity of Dospat Dere… 40 Proterozoic eon (S t e f a n o v , 1981). The highest peaks here are Pobit kamak 1086 m and Chukata 1010 m (Fig. 1). There are several caves in this area: Mecha dupka and Gargina dupka. The climate is transitional continen- tal, since the valley of the Dospat river follows a meridional direction and thus allows for strong Mediterranean climate influence. The average annual temperature here is 10 °С. The average temperature in January is between 0 °С and 7 °С. There are predominantly autumn-winter and spring-summer rainfalls. The composition of the rocks is similar to the one in Northern and Southern Pirin, Stargach, Slavyanka and Trigradsko zhdrelo, which of course has an impact on the flora in this area. Until now, the flora of the Dabrash mountain has not been researched specifically in details. There are some brief notifications about some new and rare species for the Bulgarian flora (K i t a n o v , 1936) and also about some new localities of Macedonian pine (J o r d a n o v , 1939, К i t a n o v , 1939b). There are new chorological data for 25 new species of the floristic area in the West Rhodopes (Dabrash) which are reported by D i m i t r o v & V u t o v (2016). Material and methods The researched area is 1.35 кm2. The species determination was done according to: J o r d a n o v (1963-1979), V e l c h e v (1982-1989), K o z u h a r o v (1992), D e l i p a v l o v & C h e s h m e d i j e v (2004), P e e v (2012), T u t i n et al. (1964-1980). The transect and trial sites methods were used for the determination of the vegetation in this case. The habitats were determined according to B i s s e r k o v et al. (2015). The geo- elemental makeup was analyzed according to A s s y o v & P e t r o v a (2012). The species` category with conservation status was determined according to P e t r o v a & V l a d i m i r o v (2009). The protected species` status is based on the Law for biological diversity of the republic of Bulgaria. The herbarium specimens have been deposited in the herbarium of the Institute of Biodiversity and Eco Systematic research (SOM). Results and discussion The systematic specter of the flora of Dospat Dere is comprised mainly with specimens from Phylum Magnoliophyta – 52 families (91.2%), 137 genera (90.6%) and 188 species (95.4%).

Schwarz, Ophrys cornuta Steven, Orchis coriophora L. and Platanthera chlorantha (Custer) Rchb. Out of all the determined species in this research, there are 75 (38% of the total number) medicinal plants. Regarding the natural habitats here, there are: 10 Е1 Pseudo-steppe with grasses and annual of the Thero-Brachypodietea, 08H3 Calcareous rocky slopes with chasmophytic vegetation, 21G1 Supra Mediterranean hop-hornbeam woods, 02G1 Southern Helleno-Balkanic swamp alder woods and 07G1 Helleno-Balkanic riparian plane forests. In general, the habitat 10 Е1 Pseudo-steppe with grasses and annual of the Thero-Brachypodietea has a conservation status: vulnerable [VU- A1,2 B1 C1 D2 E2 F2 G2 H2 I L2] (G u s s e v , 2015). However, this habitat in the West Rhodopes has not been reported in the literature (B i s e r k o v et al., 2015). At the moment, the habitat is being used as a grazing land for domestic sheep and goats. The habitat 08Н3 Calcareous rocky slopes with chasmophytic vegetation has a conservation status: vulnerable [VU – A1, 2 B2 D2 H2 I J] (G u s s e v & R u s s a k o v a , 2015). The habitat 21G1 Supra Mediterranean hop- hornbeam woods has a conservation status: vulnerable [VU- A1 B2 C1 D2 E2 F1 G1 H2I L2] (R u s s a k o v a & T a s h e v , 2015). It is located on the steep and vertical slopes above the right bank of the Dospat river. This habitat has not been reported either according to B i s e r k o v et al. (2015). The habitat 02G1 Southern Helleno-Balcanic swamp alder woods has a conservation status: endangered [EN – A1, 2 C2 D2 E2 F2 G2 H2 I J L2] (D i m i t r o v & T a s h e v , 2015). This habitat also has not been reported according to B i s e r k o v et al. (2015). The habitat 07G1 Helleno-Balcanic riparian plane forest has a conservation status: endangered [EN – A1, 2 C1 D1 E2 F2 G2 H2 L3] (G o g o u s h e v , 2015). This habitat has not been reported according to B i s e r k o v et al. (2015) either. Conclusion The existence of this rich and interesting local flora brings up an important point – its preservation in the future. When the following facts are taken into consideration: the presence of 1 species with endangered conservation status, 5 vascular plant species with vulnerable conservation status, 1 species with a least concern status, the high percentage of endemites (7,1%) and tertiary relicts (10,6%), the presence of two habitats with endangered status, 3 habitats with vulnerable status, as well as 15 species protected according to the Law for biological diversity of the republic of Bulgaria – are more than enough for this area of the West Rhodopes to be officially classified as a natural protected one.
