| Abstract | ||
| The present study aims to investigate the ecology of some genera of family Apiaceae growing naturally in the Mediterranean coast of Egypt. In study area the total number of the recorded species was 94 species belonging to 82 genera and 25 families. The application of TWINSPAN classification on the importance values of the recorded species in 11 sampled stands led to the recognition of 3 vegetation groups named after their dominant species. Group (A) was dominant by Carum carvi, while group (B) was dominated by Salsola kali and group (C) was dominated by Foeniculum vulgare. The Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA-biplot) between the soil variables and vegetation groups exhibited that the highly effective factors were saturation capacity, sand fraction, pH value, sulphates, calcium, bicarbonates, porosity, electrical conductivity and organic carbon and that control the distribution of vegetation groups in the different habitats in the present study area | ||
