Abstract
Himantoglossum adriaticum is a rare and in many countries
endangered orchid species. It grows on calcareous soils in natural and
semi-natural, dry and mesophilic grasslands or open woodlands and is restricted
to a small region along the Adriatic coast and within Central and Southeastern
Europe. We compiled phytosociological relevés (n = 84) covering the
whole distribution range to investigate its habitat preferences and collected
soil samples from 41 relevés to determine various soil parameters. We then used
a phytocoenological approach and ecological indicator values to characterize
the vegetation.
Our study revealed that H. adriaticum is
growing in two major habitat types, significantly differing in herb and shrub
cover. Beside its preference for semi-natural grasslands, H. adriaticum
occurs in man-made secondary habitats, such as the roadsides and temporary
habitats during secondary succesion after land-use abandonment. Himantoglossum
adriaticum is most frequently growing in grasslands which can be
characterized as the secondary succession state of the Festuco-Brometea vegetation
class. Based on these findings, we developed mean indicator values for H.
adriaticum, which were missing for its whole distribution range.
