Freshwater habitats in Plovdiv town and its surroundings and their importance for the biodiversity
Journal Title: Journal of BioScience and Biotechnology - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The current synopsis reviews the types of aquatic habitats, that are located in the city of Plovdiv and analyses their importance for the biodiversity. Studies of the biodiversity in urban landscapes are of particular importance because they are still scarce. Several plant and animal groups are studied in the city of Plovdiv – mosses, mollusks, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. Their distribution among habitats is presented, as well as specific threats and conservation problems.
