  • Distribution map of the ring-shaped plaja vegetation near Abu Mukhaiyat, central Marmarica Plateau, with zonal arrangement of vegetation units (ca. 61km SSE of Mersa Matruh; map with idealised contour lines, for location and co-ordinates compare fig. 1, according to Bornkamm & Kehl, 1989, the area under research is located between the 'full desert' and 'extreme desert I', cf. "Ökologische Wüstentypen").
