Abstract

Hilly to mountainous area of the Republic of Kosovo represents the area of interest for the flora and vegetation research. Within this area found that as the Badovci locality once was inhabited, while is located in the southeastern part of Prishtina. Vascular flora of Badovc with the surroundings is researched during 2013, and was supplemented until 2015. The pedology of researched area is made up of: Loamy deluvium, Typical rendzina on serpentine, Typical ranker on sandstone, Reddish-brown leached soil on reddish sediments and Shallow brown soil on flysch. Researched area is located in the hilly-mountain area with pronounced inclination and extends at an altitude of 610 m to about 900 m. The climate is continental, the annual average of air temperature is about 10 0C, while the annual average of rainfall is more than 600 mm. Researched space as a whole, in phytocenological terms is represented by forests, shrubs and also dry pastures and rocky places, that belong to classes: Querco-Fagetea and Festuco-Brometea. Although we have continuous anthropogenic action (mining operations), we have concluded also a rich diversity of vascular flora dominated by the Magnoliophyta, respectively Hemicriptophyta. Considerable number of these species are nutritious, medical and aromatic as well as honey plant species. During this research are also found Balkan endemic plant species as natural heritage values of Kosovo as: Centaurea kosaninii, Halacsya sendtneri, Potentilla visianii and Stachys scardica.
