Abstract

A large number of relict species characterize the flora of Strandzha Mountain. More than 120 species are included in the red book of Bulgaria, one of which is Cicer montbretii Jaub. & Spach (Chickpeas). This paper reports the results obtained from an expedition survey of several localities of Cicer monbretii Jaub. & Spach in Strandzha Nature Park. The microbiological status of soils from the marked Constantinople chickpea habitats was determined. The annual monitoring of Cicer monbretii Jaub. & Spach in Strandzha aim to evaluate the methods for its most effective maintenance and storage outside its habitat.
