Abstract
To achieve sustainable development, it is critical to conserve biodiversity and address the main drivers for distribution and abundance of plant species. In this study, the floristic and ecological features of four halophytes (Atriplexhalimus L., Arthrocnemummacrostachyum (Moric.) K.Koch, Limbardacrithmoides (L.) Dumort. and Tamarixnilotica (Ehrenb.) Bunge) along the middle Mediterranean coast of Egypt were addressed in 55 stands. A total of 52 plant-species, 45-genera, 21-families were surveyed. After Two-Way Indicator Species Analysis (TWINSPAN), three groups were segregated: A: Tamarixnilotica-A.macrostachyum, B: Atriplexhalimus-Carthamustenuis, and C: Avenafatua-A. macrostachyum. The following soil factors: pH, Clay, SO4, total nitrogen (TN), SO4, water holding-capacity (WHC), electric conductivity (EC) were the main factors affecting the distribution of the vegetation in the sampled stands
