Abstract
Relationships between soil chemistry and population chemotype structur e of Thymus pulegioides have been studied. The analysis of correlation s suggest that an increased carbonate content in soil decreases the ch emotype diversity of a population (as calculated by use of the Shannon index): the propertion of linalool chemotype plants rises and that of phenol chemotype plants declines. In addition, the chemotype diversit y decreases with increasing frequency of linalool chemotype, and incre ases with increase of carvacrol chemotype.
