New alpine plant communities discovered on Bjelašnica Mt. in Western Balkan.
The researchers studied the plants on rocky slopes in the alpine area of Bjelašnica Mt. They used a method to group the plants based on similarities. They found nine different plant groups, including two new ones. They also discovered a new type of plant community in the lower part of the alpine area. This raises questions about where certain plants like to grow. The researchers also clarified the names of some plant groups. The variety of plants on the rocky slopes of Bjelašnica Mt. is due to the different environments and its location in the Dinarides mountain range.
