Life strategy pattern of the stands. {F - fugitive, C - colonist, AS - annual shuttle species, SL - short lived shuttle species, P - perennials). On the basis of life strategy spectra (Fig. 3) it can be assumed that the perennial (P) species - requiring continuous, constant living conditions - are lacking from phryganas and their proportion is low even in the maquis. Usually a high percentage of colonist (C) species - capable of quickly occupying newly formed habitats - can be detected in each stand. They can tolerate the extreme conditions. In phrygana stands the role of short leaved shuttle (SL) species is also remarkable. These species are adapted to such habitat which remains suitable for 2-3 years. The annual shuttle (AS) species, which also occur in each stand, can be characterized by strong avoidance of seasons with severe stress. * * * Acknowledgements.
