Trends in species richness and density of Teucrium polium L. (Lamiaceae) over time and space

The aim of this study was to investigate the species diversity and species richness of vegetation cover with a focus on Teucrium polium L. species. Density and other diversity parameters were used to assess the impact effect of climate change at four sites within Al-Sult area of Jordan over 2010 t...
