Preserving a Comprehensive Vegetation Knowledge Base--An Evaluation of Four Historical Soviet Vegetation Maps of the Western Pamirs (Tajikistan).

We edited, redrew, and evaluated four unpublished historical vegetation maps of the Western Pamirs (Tajikistan) by the Soviet geobotanist Okmir E. Agakhanjanz. These maps cover an area of 5,188 km2 and date from 1958 to 1960.

Influence of halophytic hosts on their parasites-the case of Plicosepalus acaciae.

Halophytes develop various morphological and physiological traits that enable them to grow successfully on saline substrates. Parasitic plants on halophytic hosts may also encounter salt stress. We investigated the mistletoe Plicosepalus acaciae (syn: Loranthus acacia; Loranthaceae), which occurs on 5 halophytic and at least 10 non-halophytic hosts in the Southern Arava Valley (Israel).

Mineral ion composition and osmotic relations of Atriplex confertifolia and Eurotia lanata.

Periodic collections of Atriplex confertifolia and Eurotia lanata leaf tissue throughout the growing season were analyzed for osmotic potential, water content, and concentration of Na, K, soluble Ca, Cl, and SO ions. Ionic concentrations of these two species exhibited marked similarities to corresponding values for European members of the same genera. Atriplex confertifolia, like many other Atriplex species, behaves as an alkali halophyte and accumulates Na, while E.
