Abstract

The open, steppe-like alvar grasslands on Oland contain many plant species which are on the margins of their geographic ranges or which have disjunct distributions. This study provides an overview of the vegetation characteristics of these grasslands, establishing a community-compositional framework for studies on evolutionary ecology and population biology of the phytogeographically distinctive species. The survey also examines the ecological amplitudes of a range of these species within the alvar plant communities. -from Authors
