Abstract

The Ulziit Mountain has a unique ecosystem which is one of northern branch mountains of Khangai mountain range in Mongolia. Several field survey were conducted in summer in all habitats in different altitudes. A total of 314 taxa were registered belonging to 161 genera from 52 families in Ulziit Mountain flora. The family Asteraceae was found to be the largest with 37 taxa, followed by Poaceae with 30 taxa, Ranunculaceae with 24 taxa, Cyperaceae, Caryophyllaceae and Rosaceae each with 17 taxa, Salicaceae with 16 taxa, and Fabaceae with 15 taxa; in total, these comprised 55.1% of all flora complements in this mountain. During the investigation, 5 species were newly recorded in the Khangai mountains forest-steppe region. The most represented life forms in the flora are hemicryptophytes (71.97%), which are common for mountain steppe vegetation. In a time of climate change, effective conservation of nature is needed at an ecosystem such as a single mountain particularly for endemic, relict and other salient species. Furthermore, such a detailed floristic survey is important for finding new records in the field of plant taxonomy and conservation of nature in these specific areas. Bangladesh J.

蒙古森林草原地区乌尔孜特山植物区系的贡献

乌尔孜特山是蒙古康艾山脉北部分支山之一，具有独特的生态系统。夏季对不同海拔的生境进行了多次野外调查。乌尔济特山地植物区系共登记分类群314个，隶属于52科161属。以菊科最多，有37个类群;其次是禾科，有30个类群;其次是毛茛科，有24个类群;其次是莎草科、石竹科和蔷薇科，各有17个类群;这些植物群占该山植物群总数的55.1%。调查中，在康艾山林草原地区新记录了5种。植物区系中最具代表性的生命形式是半隐植物(71.97%)，这是山地草原植被中常见的生命形式。在气候变化时期，需要对生态系统进行有效的自然保护，例如一座山，特别是对特有物种、遗留物和其他突出物种。此外，这种详细的植物区系调查对于在这些特定地区寻找植物分类和自然保护领域的新记录具有重要意义。植物分类单元。28(1):195-215,2021 (6)

期刊介绍： Bangladesh is a humid, subtropical country favouring luxuriant growth of microorganisms, fungi and plants from algae to angiosperms with rich diversity. She has the largest mangrove forest of the world in addition to diverse hilly and wetland habitats. More than a century back, foreign explorers endeavoured several floral expeditions, but little was done for non-vasculars and pteridophytes. In recent times, Bangladesh National Herbarium has been carrying out taxonomic research in Bangladesh along with few other national institutes (e.g. Department of Botany of public universities and Bangladesh Forest Research Institute).
