Sažetak
According to Flora Europaea, maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Aiton) is native conifer of the south-western Europe: in Portugal, Spain, South France and Italy. The species is subdivided into two subspecies: i) ssp. pinaster (=P. mesogeensis Fieschi & Gaussen) distributed in central and western Mediterranean region, including the Adriatic, and ii) ssp. atlantica H. del Villar in South France and along the Atlantic coast of Spain and Portugal. The species is broadly distributed by afforestation programmes in different countries both within and outside the natural range, and the differentiation of autochthonous and non-autochthonous stands is still controversial. The aim of this study was to present floristic composition of stands with maritime pine in Konavle which is the most southern part of Dalmatia. Phytocoenological relevés from the stands with Pinus pinaster were collected using the Braun-Blanquet (1964) approach near village of Čilipi in 2013. The plot size was set at 200 m2. Nomenclature of plant species follows Flora Europaea (Tutin et al. 1964-1980, 1993). These stands appear within the order Quercetalia ilicis Br.-Bl. ex Molinier 1934. The stands are found at altitudes between 37 and 120 m a.s.l. on the calcareous substrata. It appears mostly on southern expositions on the slopes between 5 – 50° with the cover of 80-100%. Number of species in the relevés was between 19 and 32 (average 23.4). Altogether, 44 species were presented in the stands, while 11 occur in a single relevé. Eleven species were common to all relevés, while 22 species were occurred in more than 50% of relevés. Character and dominant species (with frequency of ≥80%): Pinus pinaster Aiton, Pistacia lentiscus L., Myrtus communis L., Calicotome infesta (C. Presl) Guss., Arbutus unedo L., Clematis flammula L., Smilax aspera L., Rubia peregrina L., Lonicera implexa Aiton, Asparagus acutoflius L., Erica manipuliflora Salisb., Cistus salvifolius L. and Brachypodium retusum (Pers.) Beauv. This study presents the first detailed data on floral composition of the stands with Pinus pinaster on the eastern Adriatic coast. Further analysis is required to determine naturalness of the stands and complete floristic and ecological knowledge of maritime pine stands in Croatia.
