Abstract

In order to determine the habitat need of number of pollen and nectar bearing plants in the province of Ardabil, library studies were done such as the study of resources available, including followers and articles, the results of research in the field of native aromatic herbs aromatic, as well as consultation with teachers and scholars and distribution of them in the province and its habitats, and then field operations were began to determine the species in their natural habitats with locating and any necessary notes in terms of slope, elevation, soil. To study the geographical distribution of the species, geographic location of studied species was recorded by using no plot sampling method and through ground surveys by GPS. Thus, the coordinates of latitude and altitude of each of them were recorded, and the spatial distribution map of each species was prepared at standard level of GIS environment, the results showed that, in MeshginShahr and Khalkhal, with respectively 32% and 28% respectively had the highest number, which in past years, they were rich plants in terms of germplasm, but unfortunately now because of climate change, overgrazing and illegal harvesting of some jobber, this germplasm are greatly reduced, and threatened with extinction and destruction. During the study, a total of 98 species were identified, the results showed that 27.3% of the collected species belonged to the Compositae1 family, and the families of Rosaceae, Labiatae, liliaceae, were ranked next. The number and percent of species was studied and the results showed that areas with altitudes of 1000 to 1500 and 1500 to 2000 with 48 and 19 percent had the highest number respectively.
