Study of Phytosociology of Plants in Surif, Palestine

The study of the phytosociology of plants in the territory of the Surif region, which includes Al-Dair Village, Khirbet Dair Musa, Ali Ghoneim's Khalet, Khirbet Abu Shouk, Jabla Village, Khirbet Jamreen, and Khirbet Mishrif, among others, was the subject of this article. As this region represents a distinctive plant diversity, and these plants are part of the flora of the Mediterranean Basin, we conducted this study to identify and describe the plants of that region, in light of the significance of studies on phytosociological and community plants in southern Palestine. Arid, semi-arid, dry, sub-humid, and humid ombrotypes and inframediterranean, thermomediterranean, and mesomediterranean thermotypes are related to the Surif area in Palestine. Seven plots (releves) in a representative area were used to sample the vegetation, which was then analyzed using the Braun-Blanquet method of phytosociological analysis. This revealed one community of forests and maquis vegetation, with 210 species that were documented, 15 of which (7.14%) were endemic to this region. (Pino halepensis-Cupressiom sempervirentis), a class of Quercetea calliprini or palaestini novo (Ighbareyeh et al., 2022) & Quercetea ilicis Br.-Bl. ex. A.& O. Bols 1950, served as a representation of the forest vegetation, and order of Quercetalia ilicis Br.-Bl. ex. Molinier 1934. & Quercetalia calliprini Zohary 1960, with alliance of Pino halepensis-Cupressiom sempervirentis (Ighbareyeh et al., 2022) & Querco - Pistacion lentisci all. nova (Ighbareyeh et al., 2022), which adapted to a variety of soil types, including limestone, brown ruins, and terra rossa.
