An Autecological Study on Iris Histrioides Foster (Iridaceae) Distributed in the Central Black Sea Region

Abstract

Iris histrioides Foster, a Euxinian and endemic element, was investigated in terms of its phenological and ecological properties. Some elements taken from the above-and below-ground parts of the plant in the vegetative and generative growth periods have been analyzed. According to the results of the analysis, N%, P% and K% contets are high in above-ground parts during the vegetative growth phase. In addition, soil samples were collected from 0-20 cm depth and analyzed physically and chemically.
