Comparative characteristics of the spatial structure of Jurinea polyclonos (Asteraceae) and Dianthus squarrosus (Caryophyllaceae)

The study was conducted in connection with the increasing role of environmental issues in the region and their impact on biota. The research is a form of monitoring, aimed at identifying the characteristics inherent in the studied species within a given territory. Field mapping by laying out botanical sites revealed a sample of 8 cenopopulations of the studied plant species with similar characteristics, and statistical methods of data processing confirmed assumptions about the group arrangement of specimens within said populations, which may be a strategy for survival in harsh conditions.
