A Survey on ecological character of Capparis spinosa L. Bushehr Province

Capparis spinosa is the most significant plant species in the Capparidaceae. These plants are wide-spread in tropical or subtropical as well as arid areas of the world. Capparis spinosa is one of the most important medicinal plants. This plant has a great ability to stabilize sand dune. Some year past, these plants granted a well-deserved share in forage production and watershed conservation in the natural habitats of the Booshehr province, but now they are classified as decreasers or degraded plants. In this search, Capparis spinosa of Dashtestan area were studied. The relation of some environmental factors including climate, soil and biotic materials and distribution of Capparis spinosa in different altitudes in Abol-firoos, Booiery and Abtavil on Booshehr province. The various plant characteristics including height of plant, canopy cover percentage, were determined random systematic method in each main site. Some information about the companion species, density, frequency, canopy cover and cover percentage were obtained using the random systematic method. The phonological stage, natural reproduction and properties of the plant as well as physical and chemical properties of the soil were analyzed and their relationships were surveyed. The results showed that the most effective factors in distribution, frequency and density of Capparis spinosa are soil texture, drainage, soil humidity, precipitation and soil salinity.
