Abstract

The presence of certain species in habitats and at altitudes different from their usual ecological requirements has great biogeographic importance. Such a situation was identified in 2023 on the middle and lower course of Eșelnița Valley, a Danube tributary in the Carpathian Mountains in southwestern Romania. Thus, in Eșelnița Valley, we identified Vaccinium myrtillus and Calluna vulgaris species in beech forests at low altitudes. The lowest altitude with V. myrtillus in Eșelnița Valley was 198 m (approximately 5 km upstream from the Danube). On Eșelnița Valley, other species related to mountain areas are also present at low altitudes, favored by the narrow shape and the cooler microclimate of the valley.

Eșelnița 山谷（多瑙河峡谷，喀尔巴阡山脉，罗马尼亚）的低海拔越橘种群

某些物种的栖息地和海拔高度与其通常的生态要求不同，这在生物地理学上具有重要意义。2023 年，我们在罗马尼亚西南部喀尔巴阡山脉的多瑙河支流埃塞尔尼ța 谷的中下游发现了这种情况。因此，在埃尔尼河谷，我们在低海拔地区的山毛榉林中发现了欧洲越橘（Vaccinium myrtillus）和鹅掌楸（Calluna vulgaris）物种。在 Eșelnița 山谷，越橘的最低海拔为 198 米（距多瑙河上游约 5 公里）。在埃希尔尼ța 谷地，其他与山区有关的物种也出现在低海拔地区，这得益于谷地狭窄的形状和凉爽的小气候。

期刊介绍： The Journal for Nature Conservation addresses concepts, methods and techniques for nature conservation. This international and interdisciplinary journal encourages collaboration between scientists and practitioners, including the integration of biodiversity issues with social and economic concepts. Therefore, conceptual, technical and methodological papers, as well as reviews, research papers, and short communications are welcomed from a wide range of disciplines, including theoretical ecology, landscape ecology, restoration ecology, ecological modelling, and others, provided that there is a clear connection and immediate relevance to nature conservation. Manuscripts without any immediate conservation context, such as inventories, distribution modelling, genetic studies, animal behaviour, plant physiology, will not be considered for this journal; though such data may be useful for conservationists and managers in the future, this is outside of the current scope of the journal.
