The ＂GRAPHS＂ has a simple interface and is integrated into the Microsoft Excel. This allows users to use all features of Microsoft Excel for storage and preparation data for analysis. Calculation of the most common similarity indexes （Jaccarda. Sorenson, Ohai etc.） and their visualization by using different algorithms of the graph theory or hierarchical cluster analysis allows simplifying and accelerating the process of data analysis in ecology or geobotany and makes it clearer. Also, three ordination methods--PCA （principal components analysis）, CA （correspondence analysis）. NMS （nonmetric multidimensional scaling）-were implemented in the module. The module can be used for vegetation classification, and be used to allocate diagnostic species or to search environmental factors most strongly impact on vegetation. Algorithms of data analysis which were implemented in the module ＂GRAPHS＂ have universal nature so they can be applied in many other fields of science.展开更多

For the purposes of an initial comparison of the archaeobotanical data, the authors updated a map of rainfall distribution on Cyprus with rainfall and temperature data for the period from 1973 to 2007, to produce an updated view of possible microclimates on the island. Cyprus was one of the Mediterranean islands whose particular orographic features encouraged the phylogenetic evolution of many species, and today it is especially rich in endemic species. Cyprus located at the southeastern boundary among the Mediterranean region, the Pontic region （the Irano-Turanic element） and the Near East （the Syriac and Nubo-Sindic elements） it doesn＇t seem to have effectively influenced the most important endemic species, they were probably preserved by the island＇s microclimates and particular edaphic conditions.展开更多
