| Abstract | ||
| This current study plans on examinition ecology of various Boraginaceae genera that grow naturally along Egypt Mediterranean coast. In the study region, 110 species were identified, representing 82 genera and 25 families. Three vegetation groups named after their dominant species were identified using TWINSPAN, which is used to categorize and rate the relevance of species in 11 sampled stands. Carum cervi dominated Group A, Salsola kali dominated Group B, and Borago officinalis dominated Group C. The use of Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA-biplot) between soil variables and vegetation groups revealed that saturation capacity , pH value, sand fraction, organic carbon, calcium, sulphates, bicarbonates, electrical conductivity, and porosity were the most efficient edaphic factors managing the distribution and abundance of the recognized vegetation groups dominated the different habitats in the stydy area | ||
