Flora and Phytogeography of the Czech Republic

  • First Online:
Flora and Vegetation of the Czech Republic

Part of the book series: Plant and Vegetation ((PAVE,volume 14))

Abstract

An overview of the diversity of vascular plants in the Czech Republic is presented. This country is situated at the intersection of several assumed important European migration routes. Consequently, the flora is composed of almost all the floristic elements that occur in Central Europe, of which the Central European geoelement is dominant. The occurrence of various sorts of relicts is discussed in the context of the changes in vegetation caused by Pleistocene climatic fluctuations. An account of Czech endemics includes 82 species and subspecies, which is 2.2% of the total vascular plant diversity in this country. Patterns in the distribution and occurrence of endemics in different habitat types are described. Groups of species with similar ecogeographical features within the Czech Republic are distinguished as regional types of distribution. Phytogeographical division of the country is described and the phytogeographical units distinguished are shown on a map.
