Distinguishing between secondary vs. primary hybrid zone formation remains a challenging task as, for instance, the time window in which these historical (vicariant) vs. contemporary (environmental‐selective) processes are distinguishable may be relatively narrow. Here, we examine the origin and structure of a transition zone between two subspecies...
This study has three major aims. First, the distribution of Tephroseris helenitis subspp. helenitis and salisburgensis at the northern fringe of the Alps was explored according to their achene type as character of subspecies designation. It was tested whether achene type is associated with other morphological characters, which therefore could be us...
The “new” floristic mapping of the province of Salzburg is presented in this study. For about two decades, Peter Pilsl has maintained an extensive database in Microsoft Access, which now contains over 180,000 observations including a most comprehensive evaluation of the literature. Likewise, extensive floristic data has, in recent years, been enter...
An original, matrix-based key is presented for the identification of all species of Oenothera section Oenothera subsection Oenothera (Onagraceae) in Europe. The taxonomy follows the so-called European school which means that a narrow species concept is adopted. All species are copiously illustrated with original photographs by the authors and detai...
Ecological indicator values for Austrian vascular plants. Ecological indicator values of plants serve as indirect indicators for the status of ecological parameters in absence of physico-chemical measurements at place. Ellenberg introduced seven parameters which are namely light (L), temperature (T), continentality (K), moisture (F), reaction (R),...
Seven remarkable specimens are presented in this article, which were discovered during the processing of historical herbarium specimens in the collection of Ludwig Glaab, which is archived in the herbarium SZB at the Haus der Natur Salzburg. The specimens of Clinopodium foliosum, Daphne alpina x mezereum, Eragrostis minor, Euphorbia maculata, Fallo...
While Citizen Science is generally increasing in relevance as a source of data in the field of biodiversity research, playful incentives such as cross-city competitions and the associated PR can be an additional motivation for participants. In the city competition between Salzburg and Münster, a total of almost 60,000 nature observations were recor...
Red List of Ferns and Flowering Plants of Austria
Third, Completely Revised Edition
In 2019, three excursions were carried out into the bog "Hammerauer Moor", where Agonum ericeti, Elaphropus walkerianus and Bembidion humerale could be sampled. The species Elaphropus walkerianus is described for the first time for Salzburg the species Bembidion humerale as second. These findings, as well as the rare plants Lycopodiella inundata an...
This publication presents new and interesting findings of vascular plants, which were found in the district of Zell am See with focus on its northern part ("Mitterpinzgau"). Furthermore, some findings from other districts were added to the published taxa. Eight of the presented taxa are indigenous in Salzburg province and twenty-eight are neophytes...
This publication presents 59 indigenous taxa of vascular plants, which were found in the federal state of Salzburg. The findings of Rosa sherardii, Silene dioica x latifolia and Trifolium thalii are first records for the federal state; Dactylis polygama, Hippophaë rhamnoides ssp. fluviatilis and Phyteuma ovatum are at least rediscoveries of lost sp...
The genus Oenothera originates from the temperate to subtropical zones of North and South America. Several taxa could establish themselves as neophytes in Europe and, moreover, create new taxa by hybridisation. There are 188 taxa known worldwide, of which 17 are present in the federal state of Salzburg: Oenothera angustissima, Oe. biennis (s. str.)...
This publication presents 23 taxa of vascular plants that were found in the city of Salzburg and its adjacent communities Hallwang, Bergheim and Elsbethen. Furthermore, some findings from communities further afield were added. Nine of the
presented taxa are indigenous to Salzburg province and fourteen are neophytic. Escapes from cultivation of Anem...
This publication presents 28 taxa of vascular plants, which were found in the communities Dorfbeuern and Lamprechtshausen in Flachgau/Salzburg province. Eleven of them are indigenous and seventeen are neophytic. Escapes from cultivation of Nassella tenuissima were recorded for the first time in Austria and Koeleria glauca, also as an escape, was re...
This publication is groundwork for a list of the entire vascular plant species occurring in the Salzburg province, which presents the neophytes. Therefore, a table was created, which includes 945 taxa, whereas there are 61 species, for which it is unclear, if they really are neophytes. Additionally to the taxon name we mention the degree of natural...
Thirty-three newly discovered taxa of neophytes, and additions to fifty already known, but rarely found, neophytes are presented in this publication covering the city of Salzburg. It is thought as a first supplementation to the “Neophytenflora der Stadt Salzburg” published first in 2008, which presents 706 taxa. The supplementation combines the new...
