Abstract
The purpose of this application is a complex chorological analysis of the vascular flora of Hungary to which the applying researchers have been preparing systematically since 1996. On the basis of the database of the project Mapping the Flora of Hungary distribution map of 2000 species will be completed following the grid system of the project of Mapping the Flora of Central Europe. No such a detailed and professionally established map series compiled on the basis of this research has been prepared in Hungary so far. Thus the knowledge on the flora of Hungary will increase significantly both quantitatively and qualitatively, otherwise closing up the Hungarian botany to the mapping project executed in several countries in Europe will be possible. Distribution maps prepared to analyze the nation-wide level phytogeograpic relations will be compared to climatic and edaphic factors and the actual and potential vegetation. Connection between the flora - potential vegetation - climatic and edaphic factors will be analysed statistically. It will be experienced in what degree the climatic and edaphic factors determine the floristic pattern types. By the help of the relative ecological and naturalness indicator values, will be analyzed how truthfully the naturalness of the flora of a given grid square can be modelled on the basis of the species composition. The results to be expected will help the professional botanic, landscape history, nature conservation, geographic utilization, furthermore give information to several experts working in forestry, agriculture and practical nature conservation. In the view of botany the results gives basic information and relation to flora and vegetation history, vegetation research, phytogeography, field and experimental taxonomy.
