Table 2. Mean relative importance values (MIV) and percentage of species (PS) for each component of the four life-forms (dormancy, radicoid, disseminule, growth) of all vascular plants that occurred for the seven vegetation types classified in the study area. MM: megaphanerophytes, M: microphanerophtes, N: nanophanerophtes, H: hemicryptophytes, Odo: other dormancy forms, R1: widest extent of rhizomatous growth, R2: moderate extent of rhizomatous growth, R3: narrowest extent of rhizomatous growth, R5: non-clonal growth (monophyte), R1-2 or R2-3: plant with rhizomatous mutation of R1 and R2 or R2 and R3, Ora: other radicoid forms, D1: disseminated widely by wind or water, D2: disseminated attaching with or eaten by animals and man, D4: having no special modification for dissemination, D2,4: plant with D2 and D4, b: branched form, e: erect form, p: procumbent form, ps: pseudo-rosette form, r: rosette form, t: tussock form, l: liane form, Ogr: other growth forms.
