xerothermic

The habitat consists of dry meadows and xerothermic slopes with thin vegetation.

The habitat consists of xerothermic steppe slopes on calcareous soil.

This can be interpreted as a local adaptation to xerothermic climate conditions and lack of ponds and brooks.

The area has been a national natural reserve since 1965, featuring unique xerothermic forest-steppe flora and fauna with a total protected area of 101 hectares.

Harpactea species are non-web building predators that forage on the ground and on tree trunks at night, mainly in xerothermic forests.

His work led to many advanced phytogeographic tools such as "Gaussen index", the "xerothermic index" and "ombrothermic diagram ".

The southern and south-western slopes of the mountain at the western edge of Bratislava provide ideal living conditions for xerothermic forest-steppe flora and fauna.

They prefer dry and hot habitats ("xerothermic") and can mainly be encountered on sunny bushes, shrubs and walls of houses (synanthropic organism), where they actively pursue their preys.

According to the phytogeorgraphical division of J. Futák (1964, 1972), Devínska Kobyla is grouped together with the neighboring Hundsheimer Berge in Austria, consisting of an area of xerothermic pannonian flora (Eupannonicum).

The presence of Iphiclides podalirius in the floodplain of the Morava River in the Slovak Republic have been found to be a good indicator of relatively well preserved xerothermic grassland habitats with forest-steppe vegetation, which have no cutting history.

Of these, 8 are endangered species which are characteristic to the ecoregion of the xerophilous grasslands and/or the Xerothermic subcontinental Oak forest, and are: Cephalaria radiate, Cephalaria uralensis, Onosma pseudoarenaria, Jurinea mollis ssp.
