Abstract
The ecological part of this Thesis embodies a gpapt- 1i itative analysis of the dis tribut+anal pattern of Panicurn T.CC’WW.I turyidum b~rask,, and its associated species and bhe relationships OX this pattern to environmental yariables? The studied area traverses a d e s e r t transect oi about 200 km, long be tween IYadi El-Vatrun and dayium. This qea is pne ol: extraordinary bialogPcal iqters t beaause of i tq gedgr?
